Hello!
Sorry for sending this message to the mailing list, but I am trying to get
in contact with every e-mail in this call and all I get are error messages
from the falmouth.ac.uk server. Does anyone knows how to get in contact with
this conference organization?
Thanks in advance!
All the best!

>
> Rationale:
> This interdisciplinary conference aims to examine intersections between
> digital
> technologies and visual media. Organised by Falmouth’s School of Media, the
> conference
> will provide a space for debate on the present state and the future of
> visual media as
> they enter a new stage of development, where established boundaries between
> disciplines
> and practices, as well as between producers and consumers, are dissolving.
>
> We invite both traditional academic research papers and practice-based
> presentations to
> promote cooperation and exchange of experience between scholars and media
> practitioners. The fields and disciplines that the conference will focus on
> include film
> studies, photography, web design, advertising and digital animation. Other
> academic or
> creative fields will be considered insofar as the exploration of their
> modes of practice
> refers to (or relies on) digital technologies.
>
> Call for papers:
> We invite established scholars, emerging researchers and graduate students
> to present
> papers on a wide variety of topics but are particularly interested in
> theoretical and
> practice-based approaches to the following:
> • Textual/genre analysis (how digital media affects visual
> storytelling in film,
> photography and animation genres);
> • Distribution/production/exhibition of creative visual work in the
> global (or national)
> context (Internet film exhibition, web publishing, accessibility,
> interactivity, new forms of
> leisure and media consumption. Media 2.0, Web 2.0);
> • Representations (digitally based minority creative groups and
> subcultures, digital
> media in relation to gender, sexuality, race, immigration, and visibility
> within the
> dominant culture);
> • The changing nature of the moving image (reception and audiences of
> digitally
> based film and animation, YouTube, MySpace, video streaming, digital
> archiving);
> • Art vs. commerce (the blurring distinction between the two,
> photography and
> creative advertising);
> • Learning and Teaching (digitally based research and methodologies
> for analysing
> visual media, vlogging, digital archives);
> • Alternative cinema (digital technologies and their impact on
> producing animation,
> documentary, pornography, experimental films, music videos, etc.);
> • Legal and ethical aspects of digitally based visual media (control,
> censorship,
> pressure groups, copyrights).
