apologies for xposting sue _____ From: Ruth Page [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thu 10/08/2006 9:40 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [Pala-narrative] Call for papers: telling tales Dear Narrative SIG members, With apologies for cross-postings, here is a CFP which may be of interest to some of you: From: [log in to unmask] on behalf of William Howes Sent: Wed 8/2/2006 10:00 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Telling Tales: Visual Design and Narrative (9/15/06; collection) Call For Papers : Edited Collection: Telling Tales: Visual Design and Narrative in Contemporary Culture By identifying an innovative and neglected area of research, this potential edited collection proposes to bring together academic works, which seek to reveal and analyse hidden and implicit narratives within a design context. From the world of high fashion to the thrill of the theme park, this book will explore the notion of alternative narratives embodied within an everyday lived experience of design, radically forging together the disparate spheres of screen and visual studies with those of art and design. The collection is aimed at students and academics of the interdisciplinary subjects of art and design, fashion, product and game design, film, television and animation, creative writing and English studies. The scope of the areas covered by the book will allow scholars of these subjects to extrapolate beyond their own discipline and critical thinking, discovering how narrative plays an integral part in the design of contemporary culture. Proposed chapters already under consideration include: · Body Design and Fashion · Theme Park Narratives · Animation · Film Editing · Book Covers in Misery Memoir · Art Installation and Narrative Abstracts covering variations of these areas will still be considered. Prospective chapters are being sought in other areas and could include but are not limited to: Narratives of Space and Place Product Design Location and Set Design Colour and Cinematography Genre Design Radio and the Visual Imagination Costume/Fashion Please email abstracts of approx 250 - 300 words to the editors by 15th September 2006. Successful contributors should have chapters of 4,000 â?" 6,000 words prepared for mid 2007 submission.
