Contexto:
Las V Jornadas sobre Arte y Multimedia estan dedicadas a la
metanarrativa digital desde cualquier enfoque, desde todos los puntos
de vista. El animo de los organizadores no es otro que promover y
hacer aflorar posibilidades de conocimiento en este dominio
experimental en el que consideramos fundamental la canalizacion (en
el sentido de dar la direccion adecuada) del arte.

Se abren dos convocatorias con la finalidad de reunir textos y
trabajos relacionados con la investigacion y la experimentacion
acerca de las formas narrativas, o no narrativas, que pretenden
traspasar los limites hasta hoy establecidos, que se desarrollan en
el ambito del arte y la comunicacion audiovisual y multimedia, y que
empiezan a ser conocidas como metanarrativas ('meta' en el sentido de
'despues').

Se ha previsto la puesta en marcha de una web que los reuna, un
diario interactivo que promueva la participacion comunicativa y la
oferta de facilitar la presentacion en directo de los seleccionados
en el curso de las Jornadas el proximo enero de 2005.

@ CALL FOR PAPERS: THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMMUNITIES
& TECHNOLOGIES (C&T 2005) MILAN, ITALY
==========================================
prazo/plazo/deadline: 12 NOV 2004

Milan, Italy, 13-16 June, 2005; <http://www.cct2005.disco.unimib.it/>

The relationship between communities and technology is an
increasingly important research topic as the number of communities
turning to technology for online and face-to-face support grows. The
Second International Conference on Communities & Technologies (C&T
2005) conference provides a forum for stimulating and disseminating
research about all facets of community and technology support for
communities.

To be successful this field requires multidisciplinary research
efforts involving researchers from different fields of applied
computer science (Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Computer
Supported Collaborative
Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Information Retrieval, Human
Computer Interaction, Information Systems), the social sciences
(Economics, Management Science, Psychology, Political Science,
Sociology, Ethnography,
Linguistics, Cultural Studies, Economics) and many application areas,
such as Education, Business, Medicine and civic engagement.

Communities are social entities whose participants share common
goals, needs, interests, and practices: they constitute the basic
units of social experience. For a number of reasons, researchers are
increasingly interested in the topic of communities. First, within a
global knowledge-based society, communities play a pivotal role.
Problems such as new forms of political
participation and civic engagement, maintenance of cultural identity,
or the integration of minorities need to be tackled on the community
level. Second, communities also re-shape the processes of learning
and sharing knowledge in and among organizations, formal and informal
groups. The Internet and the Web make communication possible across
national boundaries and between cultures in ways that could not
happen before. Furthermore, mobile devices, particularly advanced
phone technologies, promise to open the Internet to
people who have been denied access for financial, technical and
cultural reasons.

For information technologies to support communities research is
needed to understand the social, technical and usability needs of
participants. Many topics need to be addressed including:
trust-building, maintaining
(awareness of) social relations, social capital, visualization of
social relationships, matching (unknown) participants, bridging
between physical and electronically-mediated interaction, cultural
needs.

The conference offers an opportunity to present and discuss empirical
and conceptual research. Topics covered include, but are not
restricted to the following subjects:

Social science approaches of communities and technologies:
* models and theories
* online communities and organization theory
* communities and social network analysis
* ethnographic studies of virtual communities
Social dimensions of community technologies:
* privacy and security
* empathy and trust
* participation and non-participation
* community learning
Local communities and social capital:
* technologies and social capital development
* community informatics / digital cities
* case studies of community building and development
* cross-cultural communities
* communities and NGO's
* local, rural and regional communities
Communities in organizations and business:
* communities and business models
* consumer communities and electronic commerce
* online consumer and brand communities
* communities and knowledge management
Communities and innovation:
* communities of practice and communities of interest
* communities and innovation
* open source communities
* epistemic communities and technology development
Technologies for community support:
* virtual, networked and mobile community formation and development
* novel forms of technology support
* design and development methods
* technical architectures
* interoperability among community systems
* virtual community support for education, business, government, civic
activities, et
* light-weight technologies
* visualization

@ CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE CHARLES CHAPLIN CONFERNECE. BRITISH FILM
INSTITUTE,THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON AND THE LONDON COLLEGE OF
COMMUNICATION (LONDON)
==========================================
prazo/plazo/deadline: 28 FEV 2005

21-24 July, 2005
London College of Communication, London UK.

The British Film Institute, in conjunction with the University of
Southampton and the London College of Communication, will be holding
a major conference in the summer of 2005 on the work and worldwide
cultural
influence of Charles Chaplin. This will coincide with the
establishment of the BFI s Charlie Chaplin Research Foundation, which
is designed to foster innovative research in relation to Chaplin and
his contemporaries. The emphasis will be on dialogue and the bringing
together of archivists, researchers and scholars from a wide range of
disciplines for the presentation of papers and symposia to reassess
Chaplin s impact and
influence on film and the arts and modern culture. Proposals are
invited for papers covering areas of study such as, but not
exclusively, film history and aesthetics, archive and restoration,
literary and cultural modernism, theatre history, transnational
currents of production and
reception, and social and cultural history.

We wish to encourage a wide range of approaches and areas of study
but as a guide possible areas of focus are:

Performance History: Papers for this area are invited concerning
Chaplin and the performing traditions that informed his work as well
as his influence on subsequent artists and traditions in the realms
of Film, Music Hall, Dance, Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Theatre
History.

Chaplin as Transnational Star: Chaplin s star persona and his
popularity have often been cited as Ouniversal . Papers are invited
here to consider and question this axiom in relation to his popular
critical reception both
inside and outside the United States but particularly the
interrelation between Chaplin as Hollywood icon and the negotiation
with that image beyond the US. Areas of focus could include Chaplin
Imitators, Chaplin as International Icon, Chaplin and Fan magazines.

Chaplin and Sentiment: Much has been made over the years of Chaplin s
use of sentimentality and this has most often been invoked as a
critique. Rather than resurrect this, approaches are invited which
address sentiment along lines which explore Chaplin s use of, and
influence by, this tradition in Victorian popular culture ranging
from popular fiction to popular theatre and music hall.

Chaplin and Comic Traditions: Chaplin s influence on film and
television comedy in the work of, for example, Jerry Lewis, Jacques
Tati, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett or Danny Kaye, is evident if not
entirely well recognised. Possible areas of focus could consider both
the vulgar roots of Chaplin s comedy and/or his enduring influence,
recognised or not, on subsequent and contemporary comedians in, but
not limited to, Hollywood (e.g. Adam Sandler, Jackie Chan, Jennifer
Saunders etc.).

History of Film Aesthetics: Entering the film industry in 1914
Chaplin learned his craft alongside the rise of what is now referred
to as the classical Hollywood style. Papers here could focus on
Chaplin's contribution to the development of film aesthetics in areas
such as his use
and engagement with the Hollywood style, Comedy and the rise of
Narrative Cinema or the rise of the feature film. Chaplin is also
pertinent to wider issues in film aesthetics such as Auteurism, the
Avant-Garde, or
non-narrative filmmaking.

Industry History: Chaplin s relationship with the Hollywood majors
was unique and often antagonistic. Papers here could include areas
such as Chaplin and United Artists, Chaplin as Independent
producer/director,
Chaplin and the Hollywood System, Chaplin s role in Hollywood
Exhibition and Distribution history worldwide.

Chaplin and the Intellectuals: Twentieth Century thinkers such as
George Bernard Shaw, the Frankfurt School, Henri LeFebvre and
artists such as Rene Clair to Samuel Becket found in Chaplin a cipher
for the modern subject. Papers here could include work on Chaplin
and Walter Benjamin, Chaplin and the Frankfurt School, Chaplin and
the City, Chaplin s Ohigh culture critical reception and modern
taste formations.

History and Uses of Chaplin Os Star Image: Chaplin s star image has
been appropriated and incorporated in almost innumerable ways perhaps
most famously in the 1970s by IBM. This area encourages papers on a
wide range of the ways in which Chaplin s image in its many forms
(i.e. tramp, inebriate, immigrant, cross-dresser) has been utilised
for varied ends and purposes.

Literary History: Chaplin s tramp character has been the springboard
for works of fiction as well as critical speculation. In turn his
characters,the settings as well as the narratives themselves, drew
upon literary as
well as theatrical antecedents. Papers here may consider areas
concerning Chaplin s relationship to literature in areas such as
Chaplin and Dickens, Chaplin and Popular Literature, Literary
Modernism, Chaplin and Ohigh literary culture .

Macro and Cultural Politics: Chaplin s status as immigrant and,
according to the FBI, potential political agitator are just two of a
number of areas for exploration as is his work and image in relation
to cultural politics from issues of globalisation to identity
politics. Areas of interest would be McCarthyism, The American Left,
Exile and Diaspora, Chaplin and Jewishness, Class, Gender and
Sexuality.

Preservation of Chaplin films: The work of Association Chaplin in
Paris, Progetto Chaplin at Bologna University and the Chaplin
Foundation at the British Film Institute are central to the
preservation and restoration of Chaplin s work. However, his films,
particularly the early material exist in numerous forms and editions.
This area invites archivists and researchers to offer work on
approaches to archiving and restoring the multiple versions and
permutations of his work that is out there now.

Chaplin and Music: Chaplin s work on film music and as a songwriter
offer a range of possible areas of work, from his influences to his
compositions for his own films. Proposals are invited on any of the
varied aspects of
Chaplin and music.

Papers are expected to be no longer than 20 minutes in length.
Proposals of no more than 300 words should be sent by post or email
attachment no later than February 28, 2005 to:

@. CONFERENCE 2005: GENRE AND TECHNOLOGY: THE FIFTH ANNUAL STUDIES IN
FRENCH CINEMA CONFERENCE (LONDON)
==========================================
prazo/plazo/deadline: 15 NOV 2004

A reminder of next year's Studies in French Cinema paper call:

Conference 2005: Genre and Technology: The Fifth Annual Studies in
French Cinema Conference will be held on Wednesday 30 March 2005 in
London. Please note that this is intentionally (so as to allow
colleagues to attend both conferences) the day before the start of the
Society of Cinema and Media Studies Conference, to be held 30 March-3
April at the Institute of Education, London. This year we are calling
for papers on any aspect of genre or technology. We are asking for
papers that look in greater depth at (preferably) popular genres
(comedy; costume drama; heritage; thrillers, etc) from any period in
French cinema, and which would focus not just on the genre per se,
but also address the genre's socio-political and economic
motivations. We are also calling for papers on aspects of technology
from any period in
French cinema (including pre-sound cinema), such as colour, sound,
image, light, the history and politics of cinema technologies, cinema
technology and ideology, digital technology. We have a good record
for fostering postgraduate work, so please draw this to the attention
of any postgraduates whom you think may have an interest in either or
both of these areas. Please submit your proposal (250 words max) to
Phil Powrie (P.P.Powrie@...) and Susan Hayward
(S.Hayward@...) by 15 November 2004.


@ CALL FOR PAPERS: 'DESIGNS FOR LIVING: SPACE AND PLACE IN THE
CINEMA',UNIVERSITY OF LONDON (MILE END CAMPUS)
==========================================
prazo/plazo/deadline: 10 JAN 2004

28-30 June 2005

Venue: Queen Mary, University of London (Mile End Campus)

This interdisciplinary conference invites proposals from scholars
interested in the role played by sets and locations in filmic
representation. The aim of the conference is to create a forum for
interrogating both design practice and its creative effects in a
variety
of national and transnational contexts. By highlighting the
performative role of sets and locations in filmic expression, we hope
to initiate debate about how design practice inscribes space as place
in the cinema.

Proposals and plenary papers will reflect both the diversity and
hitherto underinterrogated nature of the subject. We are
particularly interested in proposals relating to the following areas,
as well as further angles appropriate to current research:

* new perspectives on the role of the set in established film
styles (expressionism, poetic realism)
* the impact of film design in the light of particular artistic
movements (art deco, constructivism, modernism)
* the work of particular production designers and art directors
* the collaborative nature of the studio design process
* the particular artistic and cultural influences brought to
bear on the representation of space in specific national contexts
* how priorities in design practice might be compared across
national industries
* questions of authenticity and realism in the representation of place
* the complex interrelationship between the set and the star
* the stages involved in set construction or location shooting
* the representation of major urban centres
* case studies of individual films in which the set underpins a
particular visual style


The ideas here are by no means exhaustive, but suggest avenues that
may be fruitful in addressing the core issues of the conference. The
conference organisers welcome proposals from specialists in film
studies, cultural studies, geography, history, art history,
architecture, design practice and other appropriate disciplines. We
especially welcome proposals for pre-constituted panels (three
speakers maximum). There is no restriction with regard to period,
national context, genre or theoretical approach. Please send
proposals in the form of 250 word abstracts to Laura Wykes
(l.c.wykes@...)
(Designs for Living conference assistant) by 10 January 2005. A
preliminary programme will be available online from February 2005.
