[1] The Voice

From: Stefan Jovanovic
Date: Jun 7, 2022
Submission deadline | Date limite de soumission: June 30, 2022 | 30 juin 2022

(In Person Session)

What exactly is a voice? This session invites submissions from scholars and practitioners exploring the vocative dimension and its role in the arts from all cultures and time periods. Critical writing on the voice comprises a marginal, yet highly motivated topic in the fine arts, comparative literature and philosophy. We hope to encourage a fruitful dialogue on the voice drawing upon a range of other disciplines and practices in the visual and performing arts including music, cinema, theatre, spoken-word performance, digital games and popular culture. Some issues to be engaged with may include (but are by no means limited to): the voice and aesthetic perception; the voice and critical theories of subjectivity (including sexual/gender, racial and/or ethnic identity); the voice in narration and oral testimonies; the ‘acousmatics’ of the voice in cinematic diegesis and in film/video installation, and the function of VoIP communication in today’s networked culture.

Proposals must be submitted using the “Call for Papers” form and sent directly to the chair(s) of the session: https://bit.ly/3tfQddO

[2] Field sketching in art & architecture education: still worth the detour?

From: Gonzalo Munoz-Vera
Date: Jun 8, 2022

(In Person Session )

In days when remote participation permits a real-time global community, when free-flowing dissemination of digital media opens up myriad possibilities of representation, and when post- colonial and global agendas question canonical education, field sketching demands attention as an educational tool in this historical crossroad. Some schools of art & architecture have endured in keeping this tradition alive, encountering both favourable and adverse conditions in their lifespans. In 2021, the McGill School of Architecture’s Sketching School program commemorated its 100th anniversary—a milestone that still raises questions about its merit for continuation or cessation. Thus, this session ponders three fundamental questions: (i) Can the appeal to visit historical sites for educational purposes regain its former relevance? (ii) Is there any common ground between analogue and digital means for any field-sketching program, or should they remain as separate entities? (iii) What impact will future instructors have on field sketching? This session welcomes paper presentations from all periods and latitudes, including those recent experiences under COVID-19 pandemic circumstances, which have dealt with hybrid practices of analogue and digital methodologies.
