The Visual-Narrative Matrix: Interdisciplinary Collisions and Collusions
Conference
15-17 November 1999, Southampton City Art Gallery, North Guild Lecture
Theatre
The conventional definition of 'narrative' as exclusively verbal is
challenged by the addition of the concept 'visual'. This three-day
conference will explore the possible ways in which the visual and verbal
might complement or deconstruct each other. For the purposes of this
conference visual-narrative is conceived of as a 'matrix'-a heterogeneous
fabric or 'textile'. An ecology of different symbolic, textual fluxes
interacting to inform multiple modes of visual representation.
The papers will explore the expanded field of modern and postmodern art. As
well as fine art, topics will include: art and text, deconstructive graphic
design, narrative/non-narrative film, internet hypertext, photo-discourse,
and computer games. Theoretical frameworks range through Freud, Peirce,
Propp, Deleuze, Genette, and Chion. Themes include autobiographical
self-representation, historical construction, dress and exhibitionism,
overwriting and reconstructing the body, narrative and lexicography, inter-
and intra-textuality.
