Call
for Papers: Arts and Narrative, September 26-27, 2013
The
7th Verge Conference at the School
of the Arts, Media + Culture
Trinity
Western University, Langley, British
Columbia, Canada
Stories
shape us. Personal, religious, national, and global identities are created
and mitigated by creative myths about who we are, our relationships to
others, and our place in the world. Today, just as in the past, the arts
play a key role in telling and creating
the stories that shape culture.
This
conference seeks to explore the historical and ongoing ways that different
art forms (and particularly interdisciplinary arts) relate to narrative,
through questions including:
What
is the role of the arts in the formation of community narratives (family,
nation, culture) today and historically?
In
what ways do the arts contribute to the narrative of what it means to be
human?
How
do the arts disclose narrative differently from other forms of narrative?
What
are the ethical implications of story-telling?
How
do the arts contribute to political narratives?
How
do artistic narratives intertwine with personal identity?
What
is the relation of ‘abstract’ or ‘absolute’ art forms to narrative?
What
are the narratives we create about the arts?
In
what ways does nature shape narrative and narrative shape nature?
How
do interactive media change perspectives on narrative?
