CFP: Re-Visualising Writing (UK) (3/31/05; 6/10/05)

Centre for Cultural Poetics, University of Southampton

Re-Visualising Writing: Page, Canvas, Screen

One Day Conference, June 10th 2005=20

This conference will address the relationship between writing and visual
culture.

It is particularly interested in exploring how technology continues to
shape our understanding of the visual, spatial, experimental, and iconic
properties of writing.

Questions to be addressed can include:

        How have the visual properties of books, printing, painting,
and computing influenced the development of writing practice and its
theory?

        How have technological advances encouraged art forms to
combine word and image in new ways?

        What opportunities for re-examining the visual properties of
writing does new technology offer?

        What new forms of social practice (reading, community
formation, textual dissemination) does an attention to the visual
suggest?

Forms to be addressed can include:

        Electronic and digital culture (eg: Digital Poetics,
Hypertext, Programmable Media, Blogs, E-poetry)

        Textual Experimentation (eg: Visual and Concrete Poetry,
Modernism and Postmodernism, Procedural or Aleatory Poetics)

        Emerging or established 'hybrid' genres (eg: the artist's
book, the performed poem, the illustrated page)

        Collaboration (eg: between visual artists, writers,
interactive media specialists)

Deadline for submission of abstracts (300 words) is March 31st.
