@ ACM Multimedia 2005 Interactive Art Program (Singapore)
==========================================
prazo/plazo/deadline: 16 MAI 2005

Singapore, November 6-12, 2005

http://acmmm05.comp.nus.edu.sg/artprogram.htm

Sponsored by ACM SIGMM, SIGGRAPH, and SIGCOMM.
In collaboration with Leonardo

ACM Multimedia 2005 is the premier annual multimedia conference,
covering all aspects of multimedia computing. The ACM MM Interactive
Art Program
seeks to bring together the arts and multimedia communities to create
the stage to explore, discuss, and push the limits for the
advancement of both multimedia technology through the arts, and the
arts through
multimedia technology.

The Interactive Art Program will consist of a *conference track* and
an *art exhibition*. We invite artists working with digital media and
researchers in technical areas to submit their original contributions
to the following tracks:

* Multimedia art exhibition: "Presence/Absence." We seek art works
that use multimedia to explore issues of location, relocation and
dislocation, particularly where multimedia technology overcomes or
reinforces physical
presence or separation. The emphasis for the exhibition is on
interactive art works that realize powerful artistic concepts using
multimedia content and technologies.

* Conference track: we solicit papers describing interactive
multimedia art works, tools, applications, and technical approaches
for creative uses of multimedia content and technology. Emphasis will
be given to
novel works that use a rich variety of media and those that are
interactive, particularly works that exploit non-conventional
human-computer interfaces or sensors in new and emerging areas. We
strongly encourage papers with a strong technical content written by
artists.

Best Paper Awards will be given with an emphasis on novel uses of
multimedia technology.

Accepted papers for the exhibition and conference track will be
published in the ACM Multimedia Conference proceedings. A selection
of the works accepted will be published in a Leonardo Gallery in the
Leonardo Journal
and on line in the Leonardo Electronic Almanac.

The conference will be held at the Hilton Hotel in Singapore (art
exhibition location TBA).

IMPORTANT DATES

May 16, 2005 Registration of abstracts for full papers.
May 23, 2005 Long papers and art exhibition submission deadline.
June 20, 2005 Short papers submission deadline.

@ 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:

@ CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS: Performing Art Performing
Science: Transdisciplinary Approaches to Performance (Vancouver, BC,
Canada)
==========================================
prazo/plazo/deadline: 1 MAR 2005

Hosted by the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University
Vancouver, BC, Canada, June 16-18, 2005
This conference seeks to redefine performance according to some of
its earlier disciplinary roots in the arts and sciences. In the arts,
performance has traditionally implied a staged activity or
presentation using a specific disciplinary form like dance, music,
and theatre. In the sciences, it has often meant the efficient
operation of mechanical and/or technological systems and prototypes
in specific goal-oriented tasks. How can a transdisciplinary
perspective communicate new knowledges emerging at the intersection
between disciplines and how can this alter our approaches to
performance as a unique phenomenon?

We are seeking proposals that formulate key questions about
transdisciplinarity and performance. Some possible topics might
include: contemporary trends in dance, new media and performance; new
visualization technologies; competing and complementary notions of
performance; emergence and artificial life science; performance of
self-organizing systems; genetic engineering; embodied knowledge;
computing machines and the evolution of culture; new epistemologies
emerging at the intersection of the sciences, arts, and humanities;
disciplinary encroachment; new transdisciplinary curricula; the
impact of infrastructure and resources on research directions; the
survival of performance disciplines in contemporary hypermedia and
mass media contexts.

Contributions may take a variety of forms: academic papers, artistic
performances, scientific demonstrations, short workshops,
installations, combinations and transformations of traditional
conference formats, or new models for transdisciplinary dialogue.

DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS: March 1, 2005. Early applications are encouraged.

Proposals should include the title of your contribution, the type of
contribution (paper, performance, etc.),a 200-300 word abstract
describing the project, estimated running time, and a list of any
specific space or technical needs. For contributions involving more
than one presenter, please include a list of collaborators and their
affiliations. Please note that conference funds are limited, at best,
so let us know what you need to bring your work to the conference.

Proposals can be submitted online through the TransNet website or sent to:

@ CINEMATIC ROME: An international conference organised by Nottingham
Institute for Research in Visual Culture (NIRVC)
==========================================
prazo/plazo/deadline: N/C

17-18 September 2005.

CALL FOR PAPERS

>From the early days of filmmaking to the present, Rome has been both
>an important centre for film production, and a compelling location
>for cinematic narrative. The city as a cinematic subject inherits a
>rich tradition of literary, artistic, and architectural
>representations - an inheritance which has hardly been investigated.
>Whether capitalising on the unique spectacle of Ancient Roman
>remains, exploring the social conflicts arising from the imposition
>of modern urbanism on the city, or mythologising touristic
>encounters with the Eternal City, filmmakers have seized on Rome as
>a symbolically resonant setting. This conference aims to bring
>together historical and interpretative explorations of these
>complementary dimensions of the city's evolving cinematic identity.
>Proposals for papers are invited on any relevant topic. Papers which
>address the following themes would be particlarly welcome:

* The city as mis-en-scene
* Antique Rome as theme and narrative
* Film under Fascism
* Cinecitta - origins and development
* Rome as a site of crisis and destabilisation
* Tourism in film: cliche and critique
* The postwar city as modern ruin and international playground

Keynote speakers:
Professor Maria Wyke (University of Reading), author of Projecting
the past: ancient
Rome, cinema, and history
Jacopo Benci (Assisant Director, Fine Art, British School at Rome).

@ (Ciberculturas, Lo que viene...) III Congreso Panamericano de
Ciencias de la Comunicacion (Buenos Aires)
==========================================
prazo/plazo/deadline: N/C

12 -16 de julio de 2005

La Carrera de Ciencias de la Comunicacion de la Universidad de Buenos
Aires (UBA) ha decidido organizar el III Congreso Panamericano de
Ciencias de la Comunicacion con el objetivo de continuar una linea de
pensamiento que ha estado guiada por la presentacion de reflexiones
academicas que desde un marco transdisciplinar proponen una agenda de
discusion de los problemas comunicacionales mas rica y diversa que la
que se presenta en las discusiones sobre acuerdos de negocios o
reuniones gubernamentales.

Se realizara desde 12 hasta el 16 de julio de 2005, y el lema que
sostendra el encuantro es "Integracion comercial o dialogo cultural
ante el desafio de la Sociedad de la Informacion".

En el III Encuentro Panamericano de Comunicacion se presentaran
reflexiones academicas que desde el marco de la comunicacion, la
sociologia de la cultura, la semiotica, la antropologia y otras areas
de investigacion aportan un contexto mucho mas rico y diverso que el
de las discusiones sobre acuerdos de negocios.

La importancia del contexto

En el ano 2005, se cumpliran 20 anos de la creacion de la Carrera de
Ciencias de la Comunicacion y 15 del egreso de sus primeros graduados.

Por otra parte, en el ano 2005 se celebrara el 25 aniversario de la
aprobacion del Informe McBride en el seno de la Asamblea General de
la UNESCO. El informe McBride es todavia hoy el principal documento
internacional sobre politicas de comunicacion. La convergencia de las
industrias culturales con las telecomunicaciones y la informatica, el
creciente peso de organismos supranacionales en las decisiones sobre
politicas de medios marcan, entre otros, la vigencia del informe
McBride por su planteo democratizador, y a la vez la necesidad de
actualizar su diagnostico y sus conclusiones.

El congreso se estructura a partir de conferencias especiales y
comunicaciones de investigadores de la comunicacion y la cultura. La
conferencia apertura sera dedicada a analizar continuidades y
rupturas desde la aprobacion del informe McBride en materia de
politicas de comunicacion y cultura.

> During the last couple of decades, the concepts of technology and
>innovation have been in the centre of the debate on social and
>economic development. The ability to orientate societies and
>citizens towards the future is characteristic for emerging new
>technologies and new technological systems. They provoke thoughts
>about the promising prospects of certain techno-economic paths, but
>also about counterproductive forces debilitating the well-being of
>society. As a consequence, strong emotions are often involved when a
>new technology
is introduced. This is not only because the new technology is
unfamiliar to us, but also because it often has important societal
effects. It may make promises of creating wealth and prosperity, but
it may also challenge societal routines, threaten the prevailing
social
order, insinuate the need to reallocate resources, accelerate the
redistribution of wealth or shake the institutionalised balance of
power. Thus, technology often evokes emotions, kindles enthusiasm and
raises resistance.

The adoption of technology is often socially and spatially bounded.
Learning and the diffusion of knowledge about new technologies and
their benefits and/or risks occur in social networks, which usually
have their roots in a shared geographical location, institutional
context or culture and identity, among others. Technological
enthusiasm, for example, is often related to certain actor positions
and professional identities. The same holds true for resistance to
new technologies. The reasons for and the basis of resistance vary,
but sometimes the resistance is linked to certain counter-identities
constructed in both local and virtual communities and social networks.
>
The aim of the TEER2005 conference is to create an international
forum for scholars of social scientific technology research and
contribute to technology research and policy. The conference will
bring together
scholars interested in the social, political, economic and cultural
aspects of technology.
