=================================================================
This is the Call for Papers for the CUMULUS Lisbon 2005 Pride & Pre-Design
26th May - 27th May

Pride & Pre-Design is a CUMULUS conference for Art & Design researchers,
educators and others all over Europe, hosted and organised by the IADE -
School of Design in collaboration with the UNIDCOM/IADE in Lisbon, Portugal.

Cumulus is the European Association of Universities and Colleges of Art,
Design and Media. Cumulus has currently over 60 member institutions from
European countries and is starting to become global with the admission of
Schools from China, Japan and Australia. Cumulus organises two conferences
per year.

The scope of the conference is to evaluate the links between the cultural
heritage and the projectual culture. It will be focused on rewriting the
idea of Material Culture. This concept, discharged from its materialist
stigmata, is useful to understand the broad frameworks that link Science,
Art and Design.

One of the major results of “Senses & Sensibility in Technology” meeting in
2003 was that people using different methodologies from sciences,
engineering and design found numerous platforms in which they could talk
about related issues.

With P&P we aim to gather, also, artists and historians to this group.
Although this is a fact, we are interested, mostly, on the contemporary use
of cultural heritage. Findings about what was the real author of a
particular sculpture the mausoleum of an obscure rich man from Braga in the
XVIII Century or what was Caravaggio last meal are not recommended.

The scope of the meeting is to show and discuss how the design sciences are
linked (directly or indirectly) to each one’s cultural heritage, from
artefacts or science knowledge to works of art. We also remind you that
cultural heritage starts yesterday and discussions on relations between
contemporary art and design are welcome.

In short, we are focused in culture, material culture, or even e-material
culture for which the cultural heritage is the knowledgeable starting point.

The deadline for submitting an abstract is 21st September 2004. Abstracts
