Indiana University, Bloomington

January 13-16, 2011

Proposals are due May 25, 2011

This Call for Papers will be available soon at the web site of the College Book Art Association, http://www.collegebookart.org<http://www.collegebookart.org/EmailTracker/LinkTracker.ashx?linkId=AAAUmJLd%2beE8bv5h3JOEWw%3d%3d>.

A copy of the Abstract Reviewer Form will be posted to the conference website soon.  Please review this document to better understand the judging criteria for all abstract submissions.

The College Book Art Association welcomes the submission of paper proposals for its second biennial conference to be held on the campus of Indiana University, Bloomington. The conference will provide students, scholars, librarians, and faculty with a public forum to present topics in and related to the academic book arts field.  The title of this biennial conference is intentionally inclusive and wide-open.  Instead of suggesting themes for the conference the planning committee feels that the conference title and mission of the CBAA should give sufficient direction for submitted abstracts.  This is an opportunity for submissions to be relevant, timely and germane to each person submitting an abstract/topic without having to align their submission to a proscribed theme.

The College Book Art Association is a non-profit organization committed to the teaching of book arts at the college and university level. The Association strives to support, not only education about book arts, but is also concerned with both the practice and analysis of the medium.  It welcomes as members everyone involved in such teaching and all others who have similar goals and interests. The association aims to engage in a continuing reappraisal of the nature and meaning of the teaching of book arts.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

To be considered for acceptance, abstracts must reflect the practice, teaching, scholarship and/or criticism as they relate to academic book arts.  Academic book arts may be considered broadly, including studio art, art history, design studies, history of the book, material culture, typography, comparative literature, and pedagogical and interdisciplinary studies.  All abstract submissions should provide enough detail about the research so that the reviewers have sufficient information to judge its quality in anticipation of the final and completed paper/presentation.

In an effort to promote original scholarship in the field of academic book arts, abstracts submitted to CBAA should not be concurrently submitted for consideration to another conference.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE:

Abstracts should NOT be submitted prior to March 1, 2010 and MUST be received no later than May 25, 2010. Submissions received after this date will not be considered for acceptance.

ABSTRACT FORMAT AND SUBMISSION PROCEDURES:

Please submit abstracts for 25-minute presentations.  Abstracts are not to exceed 400 words.

All abstracts must be submitted electronically as a Microsoft Word attachment (.doc or .docx format) for purposes of review by the program committee, please use the following format:

* Single-spaced

CHArt 2008 Conference – CALL FOR PAPERS

SEEING… VISION AND PERCEPTION IN A DIGITAL CULTURE

CHArt (Computers and the History of Art) 2008 Conference

Thursday 6 – Friday 7 November 2008 (central London venue to be confirmed)

This year’s CHArt conference takes seeing as its theme and the

associated questions of vision, perception, visibility and invisibility,

blindness and insight – all in the context of our contemporary digital

culture in which our eyes are assaulted by eve r greater amounts of

visual stimulus, while we are also increasingly being surveyed, on a

continual basis.

What does it mean to see and be seen nowadays? How have advances in

neuroscience or developments in technology altered our understanding of

vision and perception? What kind of visual spaces do we now inhabit?

What new kinds of visual experiences are now available? And what are now

lost or no longer possible? How does the increasing digitalisation of

media affect the experience of seeing? What and who might be rendered

invisible by the processes of digital culture? What are our current

digital culture’s blindspots? What are its politics of seeing?

For the twenty-forth CHArt conference we are looking for papers that

reflect upon these issues. We welcome contributions from all sections

of the CHArt community: art historians, artists, architects and

architectural theorists and historians, curators, museum professionals,

scientists, cultural and media theorists, archivists, technologists,

software developers, educationalists, philosophers and any others who

have a stake in the question of seeing in a digital culture.

Please email a three to four hundred word synopsis of the proposed paper

with brief CV of presenter/s by 30 May 2008 to Hazel Gardiner

(hazel.gardiner@kcl.ac.uk).
