Call for Proposals for Incubation 2002 to be held on 19-21 July 2002 at The
Nottingham Trent University, UK
Deadline 1st December 2001
http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/incubation/
We are pleased to invite proposals for Incubation2, the leading
international conference on Writing and the Internet. For our second
conference we continue our focus on the role of the internet and
telecommunications and particularly invite contributions that address the
way new media create new potentials and re-define the acts of writing and
reading. We welcome proposals on all aspects of new media and writing,
especially by those whose work is based in new media, on or off the
internet.
Possible topics include:
Process:
How do we write on the web?
How are computer-aided and computational tools changing writing and reading?
What are our favourite tools and how can we use them better?
What part does collaboration play?
How has the web changed what we create?
How have writing and writing practices changed with the advent of new
communications technologies?
What is the difference between electronic writing and print-based writing?
What is currently state of the art? What is happening in poetics and
aesthetics?
Where is the most interesting critical writing?
Is new media writing literature?
Learning:
How do we learn and teach writing on the web?
How is the online workshop different from the physical workshop?
How has the web changed what we learn and how we learn it?
How do the economics of time alter online?
What might comprise an 'equivalent' education in the new learning spaces?
What elements of teaching are changed online?
How do the economics of online teaching work?
Does new media writing have a place in the English Curriculum?
Culture:
How do the online environment and other new media tools modify the
relationship between writing, language, culture and ethnicity?
How is the web enabling writers to address diversity and difference
including groups within a nation e.g. the city and the country; and within
the world e.g. refugees, asylum-seekers and other ethnic groups living in
foreign countries?
Is there a cultural divide between writers who use the web, and those who
don't?
How is the interdisciplinary culture of the web affecting traditional
funding models for writing?
