AUGUST 24, 2011
Dates: 11-14 June 2012
Location: Marriott Gateway on the Falls, Niagara Falls, Canada
Website: www.cadconferences.com
Deadline for papers: 20 November 2011
We have a larger and experienced paper review team, led by Wim Bronsvoort,
and plan to grow the conference to exceed 100 presentations. In
collaboration with Editor-in-Chief Les Piegl, all quality papers will be
archived in the journal Computer Aided Design & Applications (
www.cadanda.com). Paper drafts for review are due near end of November,
2011.
We are also looking for new volunteer Committee Members to assist in
promoting the conference, etc. We also can include details such as a link
to your laboratory, etc. Please confirm this so that we can add your name
to the Organization page.
It is recognized that travel and registration costs balanced with
international venue rotation are important to delegates. Based on feedback,
we have introduced a 2 paper per author registration class. There are
numerous restaurants in Niagara Falls, so rather than book a specific Gala
Dinner venue, we plan to suggest a few choices, with sign-up sheets on site.
Details at the website.

NeMLA Conf: The Thingly Realm in Modern Literature (Mar 2012, New
York)<http://designcalls.wordpress.com/2011/08/14/nemla-conf-the-thingly-realm-in-modern-literature-mar-2012-new-york/>
AUGUST 14, 2011

Deadline for submissions: 30 Sep 2011

This panel will examine the life of “things” in twentieth-century
literature, particularly their power to produce ecstasy or existential
nausea. For the modern literary persona, “stuff” has been liberating yet
unmasterable, available to representation yet burdensomely concrete:
consider Virginia Woolf’s Septimus, for whom “real things are too exciting,”
Sartre’s Roquentin, who wants natural objects to “exist less strongly,” or
Nabokov as a young lepidopterist. The textual object inevitably raises
questions about subjectivity (how do we use things to negotiate and perform
identities?), about empathy and skepticism (how do we relate to that which
is radically “other”?), and about the ethics of representation (must the
text overwhelm or reduce the material world’s essential difference?). As
theorizations of the “posthuman” become common, reevaluating the
intellectual history of the object may help us understand how “the human”
signifies and what is at stake in its doing so. This panel invites papers on
the thing in its various literary forms – including the collection or fetish
item, the prop or puppet, the remain or refuse, and the symbol in its
material aspects. Discussions of any writer or genre are welcome. Send
250-500 word abstracts to Katie Van Wert at [log in to unmask]

Session Proposal/Call for Papers: Design, Design Activism and the Democratic
Production of Future Social Natures
Deadline for abstract submission: 14 September 2011
In this session we would like to consider the genuine tensions as well as
possibilities that design activism and the idea of social design politics
generates for a politics of space and possibly a new politics of the
environment. Modernist design has always been centrally linked to the
consumer economy and technocratic modes of thinking. Nevertheless, it could
be observed that in contrast to the maudlin and exhausted feel of much
radical left and green politics, the interface between design and diverse
struggles for social, spatial and environmental justice and appears
relatively buoyant, optimistic about the progressive potential for human
agency and imbued with a sense of possibility about the opportunities for
‘remaking reality’. How can we politically evaluate the new design activism?
Could a new social and democratic politics of design –beyond technocratic
and reductive ‘design fix’ modes of thinking – provide some kind of material
substance to a new progressive politics of the environment? Could historical
and contemporary engagements with design bring real content to the endlessly
iterated but materially unsubstantiated and institutionally vague request in
political ecology for a ‘democratic politics of nature’ (Smith, 1984; Braun
and Castree,1998, Swyngedowu, 1996/2004)? Could a focus on design and the
‘politics of making’ add material content to the suggestive but often
decorative and rather exclusive feel to the politics advocated by a-modern
and post human geographers (Barry, 2001; Whatmore 2003; Thrift 2004;
Hinchliffe,2010)?
