Archaeological Review from Cambridge
The Archive Issue Volume 29.2, November 2014 Theme editors: Leanne Philpot
(lp303@cam.ac.uk) and Renate Fellinger (rf296@cam.ac.uk)
In past and present cultures, individuals and societies have collected,
altered and discarded records of different media, thereby shaping
archives. Archives are a fundamental archaeological resource as
collections of finds and their associated documentation (such as diaries,
reports, drawings, photographs and digital data) not only enable
reinterpretation of original assessments but also allow for new research
to be carried out. Despite this potential, the study of archives is often
overlooked by archaeologists because contemporary understandings of
archives tend to be limited in terms of their purposes and what they are
supposed to encompass.
Other disciplines including heritage studies and history have recently
expanded their focus from traditional concerns such as management
procedures. Researchers have started asking more fundamental, theoretical
questions about the purpose, use, social context and academic potential of
archives, bringing facets such as audience, compilation and access to the
forefront of enquiry. Archaeological studies are increasingly adopting
these focuses as well as cultivating new approaches and methods for
archaeological purposes. The challenge to re-centre archives into the
mainstream of archaeological enquiry has led to a reassessment of their
uses and the roles they can play in expanding archaeological knowledge.
This ARC issue aims at exploring new approaches and perceptions towards
archives in an archaeological context. How has archaeology as a
discipline, in both theory and practice, been affected by the reassessment
of archives? How can data recovered from archives offer new perspectives
on material and quantitative data gathered from fieldwork? In what ways
does an increase in archival access for non-experts and new audiences lead
to different perspectives on archaeological data? How can socio-political
assessments encourage a reflexive approach prompting archaeologists to
turn the lens upon their own collecting and archival practices, offering a
critical consideration of knowledge production? What can be learnt about
the nature and history of archaeology from studying archives as
historiographical tools?
We encourage contributions from all disciplines in order to develop an
inter-and multi-disciplinary approach towards the archive issue. Possible
topics may include but are not restricted to:
• The theoretical underpinnings of the utility and purpose of archives and
their importance to archaeology.
• Archives as a tool of academic enquiry; research, reassessment and
reinterpretation of archival records.
• Innovative archival management strategies and developments in
governmental and non-governmental guidelines.
• Access and audiences, including Web 2.0 platforms, data sharing and
museological access/display.
• Creation, compilation and curation, including reflexive approaches to
creation by archaeologists as well as museological/heritage curatorial
approaches with regard to knowledge production.
• Historiography and archives; field diaries, reports, production of
archaeological knowledge in the past.
• Archives as a social construct; the creation of identities and
individual and collective memories and exploring the relationships between
archives, their creators and users.
•
Please send an abstract of not more than 500 words to Leanne Philpot
(lp303@cam.ac.uk) and Renate Fellinger (rf296@cam.ac.uk) by 16th August
2013. The full article should not exceed 4000 words. The deadline for the
first drafts will be 31st October 2013, for publication in November 2014.

The Archaeological Review from Cambridge is a non-profit journal managed
and published on a voluntary basis by archaeology postgraduate research
students at the University of Cambridge. Issues are released twice a year.
Although primarily rooted in archaeological theory and practice, ARC
accommodates a wide range of perspectives in the hope of establishing a
strong, interdisciplinary journal which will be of interest to those
engaged in a range of fields, and therefore breaking down some of the
boundaries that exist between disciplines.

3 Volume Series on Religion and Societies: To understand, experience and
transform.
The proposed three-volume set on Religion and Societies presents the
most-current research and provides a comprehensive understanding of the
field in one convenient location for students, researchers, professors,
and practitioners across fields. In each volume 12 field-based essays
(7,000-10,000 words) provides the reader with a thorough, detailed
overview of the topic. If you are interested in contributing a chapter to
one of these volumes, please send a provisional title, brief abstract (150
words) and biographical sketch (6 lines maximum) to the corresponding
editor before 15 July 2013.
Volume 1: Religiosity Confronts Misfortune and Suffering
Editor: Dr. Liam D. Murphy / lmurphy@saclink.csus.edu
This volume will include essays, based on ethnographic fieldwork, dealing
with religion and other cosmologies as power-laden symbolic systems that
ask questions related to and propose solutions to misfortune, suffering,
and "the problem of evil". Beyond this approach the volume seeks to
identify religiosity and cosmological meaning in cultural formations as
different as anime (Japanese animated production) and heavy metal music,
American football and Alcoholics Anonymous. Doing so, this volume expands
the meaning of "religion" as a category of knowledge, practice, belonging,
and experience to encompass institutions and perspectives that have not
conventionally been understood as "religious," narrowly construed.
Vol. 2 Religion experienced through rituals and pilgrimage
Editor: Dr. Anastasia Panagakos / panagaa@crc.losrios.edu
This volume will focus on rituals and the settings (sacred places and
spaces) in which they are enacted are in a sense the public face of
religion, the means whereby humans define themselves as members of faith
communities. Essays in this volume will focus on ritual experiences across
a variety of religious practices and settings, including pilgrimage sites.
Essays will exemplify a range of approaches to rites of passage such as
puberty, wedding, or death rituals; the political implications of ritual
and place making; the ritual connection between mind and body; individual
agency and ritual experience; and the performativity of ritual in
so-called secularized societies.
Vol. 3 Religion transforming societies
Editor: Dr. Jean-Guy A. Goulet / jgagoulet@gmail.com
This volume brings together essays that analyze the interplay between
religious traditions and political life at both intra-national and
international levels, as for instance in the Protestant and Catholic
traditions in Northern Ireland, the rise of Falun Gong within China and
beyond, or in the revival of indigenous activities within and across
nation-states worldwide. In this vein, some essays will focus on the
religious identities of migrants within societies that become more and
more religiously pluralistic, inviting antagonistic responses from those
who fear that their national identity is being undermined and/or bringing
into light the tension between religions and secular / modern views of
social life.

Le colloque « Champlain dans l'Anishinabe Aki : histoire et mémoire d'une
rencontre » , qui se tiendra sur deux jours, le 19 & 20 septembre, réunira
des chercheurs, des intervenants patrimoniaux et des gestionnaires de
politique culturelle. En ce 400e anniversaire du premier voyage de
Champlain dans la Région de la Capitale nationale, ils réfléchiront à la
place de Champlain dans la mémoire collective et aux célébrations
soulignant cet anniversaire, tout en replaçant celles-ci dans l'histoire
des représentations de Champlain. La remontée de la rivière des Outaouais
(Kichi Sibi) par Champlain en 1613 constitue à la fois un tournant majeur
dans les relations entre Européens et Anishhinabeg ou Algonquins
(histoire) et une porte d'entrée dans l'univers fascinant de la mémoire
collective. En effet, les historiens de la mémoire sont depuis longtemps
fascinés par la façon dont différents groupes sociaux qui ont des
perpectives différentes sur le passé, négocient la signification des
événements commémoratifs. Le 400eanniversaire de Champlain en Ontario en
offre un exemple dramatique, les perspectives des autochtones et des
Euro-canadiens étant à l'opposé l'une de l'autre. Pour les premiers,
l'arrivée de Champlain dans l'Outaouais représente le début de conflits
culturels, économiques et politiques multiséculaires pour leur survie,
alors que les derniers veulent célébrer le « père de la Nouvelle-France ».
Toutefois, l'anniversaire de Champlain est une occasion de faire prendre
conscience à la population de l'impact de son passage dans l'Outaouais sur
les autochtones et de faire connaître leurs perspectives sur l'événement.
C'est pour cette raison que la participation d'intervenants autochtones au
colloque est fondamentale.Le colloque va boucler une série d'activités
soulignant le 400e anniversaire du passage de Champlain dans la Région de
la Capitale nationale. Il donnera la parole aux représentants de diverses
organisations communautaires et gouvernementales qui auront depuis
dix-huit mois travaillé à la commémoration de la rencontre entre Champlain
et les Algonquins. Le colloque est unique en ce qu'il leur permettra de
réfléchir à leurs pratiques commémoratives. Le colloque incluera aussi des
universitaires de la région ainsi que des spécialistes de l'extérieur.
L'interaction entre des personnes ayant pris part aux commémorations
locales et des personnes qui ont analysé des phénomènes semblables
ailleurs constitue une promesse d'une discussion productive
The Champlain in the Anishinabe Aki : History and Memory of an Encounter
Colloquium – September 19 & 20
This two-day colloquium will bring together scholars, community heritage
activists, and cultural policy makers to consider the place of Samuel de
Champlain in collective memory. The 400th anniversary of Champlain's
arrival in the Ottawa-Gatineau area provides the occasion for this
gathering. It will provide an opportunity to reflect on the local
celebrations attending this anniversary while placing them in the context
of representations of Champlain in Canadian collective consciousness more
generally. As Champlain's journey up the Ottawa (Outaouais/Kichi Sibi)
River in 1613 marked an early milestone in the relationship between
European and Anishinabeg or Algonquin peoples, this gathering will also
problematize the use of the French explorer as a point of entry into
questions of early contact between First Nations and European cultures in
the Americas.Historians of memory have long been fascinated by how
disparate social groups with different perspectives on the past negotiate
the meaning of commemorative events. The Champlain anniversary offers a
dramatic case study of this phenomenon stemming from the fundamental
disparity between Aboriginal perspectives on the event and those of
Euro-Canadian communities. While the latter groups have by and large
initiated this commemoration because they saw the arrival of a famous
European explorer and the Father of New France as something to celebrate,
Aboriginal peoples have tended to view this historical moment as the
beginning of centuries of cultural, economic and political conflict that
would threaten their very survival as a people. Yet the anniversary of
Champlain's visit offered at the same time an opportunity to raise
awareness in the broader community of its impact on First Nations and to
make known the aboriginal perspective. For this reason, Aboriginal
participation is fundamental to the purpose of the colloquium and a
prerequisite for its success.The colloquium will serve as part of the
wrap-up of festivities that will take place in the Ottawa-Gatineau region
over the spring and summer of 2013 to mark the anniversary of Champlain's
passage up the Ottawa River. It will include representatives of voluntary
and government organizations from the national capital region who, by this
time, will have been working together on the Champlain commemoration for
the previous eighteen months. The participation of these drivers of
commemoration in this after-the-fact reflection and analysis represents a
unique feature of this event. Participants will also include local
academics who have been involved in the process from the start, as well as
scholars from further afield with a special expertise on Champlain, his
time, and how he is remembered elsewhere. The interaction of those with
direct and intense experience of a recent local commemoration with others
knowledgeable about similar phenomena elsewhere promises to yield fruitful
and productive discussion. By capturing information and generating
knowledge about Aboriginal-European contact in the region and the
contemporary politics of its commemoration, this event will inform
pedagogy, research, and future collaborative projects in the region,
ensuring that the public resources and community efforts invested in the
Champlain 400thhave an enduring legacy.
The keynote event will be a round table on the legacy of Champlain,
between an Aboriginal expert, a French and a Canadian historian of New
France, held at the Museum of Civilization at the end of the first day.
This will be followed by the inauguration of a sound and light
installation at the statue of Champlain at Point Nepean.
This website will serve as a platform for preliminary exchanges, and the
collection and the preparation of didactic material, exhibitions and
creations. A collection of the best scholarly papers will be prepared for
publication by a university press.

Le colloque « Champlain dans l'Anishinabe Aki : histoire et mémoire d'une
rencontre » , qui se tiendra sur deux jours, le 19 & 20 septembre, réunira
des chercheurs, des intervenants patrimoniaux et des gestionnaires de
politique culturelle. En ce 400e anniversaire du premier voyage de
Champlain dans la Région de la Capitale nationale, ils réfléchiront à la
place de Champlain dans la mémoire collective et aux célébrations
soulignant cet anniversaire, tout en replaçant celles-ci dans l'histoire
des représentations de Champlain. La remontée de la rivière des Outaouais
(Kichi Sibi) par Champlain en 1613 constitue à la fois un tournant majeur
dans les relations entre Européens et Anishhinabeg ou Algonquins
(histoire) et une porte d'entrée dans l'univers fascinant de la mémoire
collective. En effet, les historiens de la mémoire sont depuis longtemps
fascinés par la façon dont différents groupes sociaux qui ont des
perpectives différentes sur le passé, négocient la signification des
événements commémoratifs. Le 400eanniversaire de Champlain en Ontario en
offre un exemple dramatique, les perspectives des autochtones et des
Euro-canadiens étant à l'opposé l'une de l'autre. Pour les premiers,
l'arrivée de Champlain dans l'Outaouais représente le début de conflits
culturels, économiques et politiques multiséculaires pour leur survie,
alors que les derniers veulent célébrer le « père de la Nouvelle-France ».
Toutefois, l'anniversaire de Champlain est une occasion de faire prendre
conscience à la population de l'impact de son passage dans l'Outaouais sur
les autochtones et de faire connaître leurs perspectives sur l'événement.
C'est pour cette raison que la participation d'intervenants autochtones au
colloque est fondamentale.Le colloque va boucler une série d'activités
soulignant le 400e anniversaire du passage de Champlain dans la Région de
la Capitale nationale. Il donnera la parole aux représentants de diverses
organisations communautaires et gouvernementales qui auront depuis
dix-huit mois travaillé à la commémoration de la rencontre entre Champlain
et les Algonquins. Le colloque est unique en ce qu'il leur permettra de
réfléchir à leurs pratiques commémoratives. Le colloque incluera aussi des
universitaires de la région ainsi que des spécialistes de l'extérieur.
L'interaction entre des personnes ayant pris part aux commémorations
locales et des personnes qui ont analysé des phénomènes semblables
ailleurs constitue une promesse d'une discussion productive
The Champlain in the Anishinabe Aki : History and Memory of an Encounter
Colloquium – September 19 & 20
This two-day colloquium will bring together scholars, community heritage
activists, and cultural policy makers to consider the place of Samuel de
Champlain in collective memory. The 400th anniversary of Champlain's
arrival in the Ottawa-Gatineau area provides the occasion for this
gathering. It will provide an opportunity to reflect on the local
celebrations attending this anniversary while placing them in the context
of representations of Champlain in Canadian collective consciousness more
generally. As Champlain's journey up the Ottawa (Outaouais/Kichi Sibi)
River in 1613 marked an early milestone in the relationship between
European and Anishinabeg or Algonquin peoples, this gathering will also
problematize the use of the French explorer as a point of entry into
questions of early contact between First Nations and European cultures in
the Americas.Historians of memory have long been fascinated by how
disparate social groups with different perspectives on the past negotiate
the meaning of commemorative events. The Champlain anniversary offers a
dramatic case study of this phenomenon stemming from the fundamental
disparity between Aboriginal perspectives on the event and those of
Euro-Canadian communities. While the latter groups have by and large
initiated this commemoration because they saw the arrival of a famous
European explorer and the Father of New France as something to celebrate,
Aboriginal peoples have tended to view this historical moment as the
beginning of centuries of cultural, economic and political conflict that
would threaten their very survival as a people. Yet the anniversary of
Champlain's visit offered at the same time an opportunity to raise
awareness in the broader community of its impact on First Nations and to
make known the aboriginal perspective. For this reason, Aboriginal
participation is fundamental to the purpose of the colloquium and a
prerequisite for its success.The colloquium will serve as part of the
wrap-up of festivities that will take place in the Ottawa-Gatineau region
over the spring and summer of 2013 to mark the anniversary of Champlain's
passage up the Ottawa River. It will include representatives of voluntary
and government organizations from the national capital region who, by this
time, will have been working together on the Champlain commemoration for
the previous eighteen months. The participation of these drivers of
commemoration in this after-the-fact reflection and analysis represents a
unique feature of this event. Participants will also include local
academics who have been involved in the process from the start, as well as
scholars from further afield with a special expertise on Champlain, his
time, and how he is remembered elsewhere. The interaction of those with
direct and intense experience of a recent local commemoration with others
knowledgeable about similar phenomena elsewhere promises to yield fruitful
and productive discussion. By capturing information and generating
knowledge about Aboriginal-European contact in the region and the
contemporary politics of its commemoration, this event will inform
pedagogy, research, and future collaborative projects in the region,
ensuring that the public resources and community efforts invested in the
Champlain 400thhave an enduring legacy.
The keynote event will be a round table on the legacy of Champlain,
between an Aboriginal expert, a French and a Canadian historian of New
France, held at the Museum of Civilization at the end of the first day.
This will be followed by the inauguration of a sound and light
installation at the statue of Champlain at Point Nepean.
This website will serve as a platform for preliminary exchanges, and the
collection and the preparation of didactic material, exhibitions and
creations. A collection of the best scholarly papers will be prepared for
publication by a university press.

Call for chapters: Migration by Boat: theories, politics, and memories
Call for chapters:
Migration by Boat: theories, politics, and memories - EDITED Collection
Seeking original chapters for a collection tentatively titled, Migration
by Boat: theories, politics, and memories, which will explore ocean travel
undertaken by refugees, asylum seekers and illegal immigrants as a space
and place where cultures intersect, and national boundaries and identities
are reshaped, both in painful and creative ways. Migration by boat can
symbolically be aligned with notions of deterritorialization that often
support fears, yet also allow for renegotiations of identity, memory and
feelings. Contributions from a multidisciplinary cohort are welcome.
Authors are encouraged to submit provocative original writing (conceptual,
empirical or theoretical) that emphasize how migration by boat is
remembered and represented; effects individual and social or cultural
identity; and challenges or reinforces cultural or social structures.
Deadline for abstracts of 500-750 words, together with a short CV
including contact details, and one example of previously published work in
a relevant field is September 30, 2013.
Unregulated movements of people via ocean voyages are often viewed as
threatening to the solidarity of the national spaces that they arrive in,
so much so that these arrivals have the power to wash away humanitarian
sentiments. Increasingly, scholars are attempting to understand how
"transnational flows of people, media and commodities" (Escobar 2001) can
be viewed outside of standard dualistic terms and away from clear-cut
juxtapositions of citizen/stranger, land/water, and victim/threat.
Symbolically, boats can be viewed as spaces and places where hopes and
fears along with "poetics and politics are mobilized" (Perera 2013). In
this context, boats carrying asylum seekers, refugees, and illegal
immigrants not only move people and cultural capital between places, but
also fuel cultural fantasies, dreams of adventure and hope, along with
fears of invasion and terrorism. Oceanic voyages also represent liminal
periods were human beings are "betwixt and between" (Turner 1969) real
lives and national identities, nevertheless, communities are formed and
relationships are fostered while en route.
Possible themes (not a restrictive list) might include:
• How are arrivals of asylum seekers by boat represented in media
portrayals, visually or discursively?
• Symbolic and emotional elements related to migration by boat.
• Rethinking place and space in relation to bodies of water.
• The effects of migration by boat on identity in relation to gender,
race, class, etc.
• Narratives and memories related to forced migration and travel by boat?
• The "boat" as saviour/home/refuge, and conversely, the "boat" as
traumatic experience.
• How have representations of migrations by boat shifted with the digital
revolution?
• Have representations of migrations by boat changed in the era of
globalization?
• How can the elusive nature of travel by boat be compared to, or
juxtaposed the elusive nature of memory.
• Trauma and migration through ocean passages. How is this narrated,
visualized and politicized?
• The intersections of identity, nation, citizenship and ocean travel.
• Travel by boat as a mediator of personal, social and/or cultural
transformation, in both modern and historical contexts.
• Representations of migration by boat in popular culture, movies,
literature, art, performances etc.
Chapter Details:
Chapters should be written in English and should not have been previously
been published. Each final chapter will be between 6,000-7500 words
(including references). Images are welcome. However, authors will be
responsible for obtaining all rights for the publication of photographs
etc. as well as research interviews that were undertaken (forms will be
provided later).
Deadlines:
September 30, 2013: Send abstracts of 500-750 words, together with a short
CV including contact details, and one example of previously published work
in a relevant field.
December 15, 2013: Acceptance letters will be sent to authors.
May 30, 2014: Submission of chapters.
Please submit all expressions of interest and abstracts/CVs to
lyndamannik@trentu.ca
Preferably with the subject line: Migration by Boat
About the Author:
Dr. Lynda Mannik is a Visiting Assistant Professor in cultural
anthropology at Trent University. She recently published Photography,
Memory and Refugee Identity: the voyage of the S.S. Walnut, 1948 with the
University of British Columbia Press. Through memories and photographs it
explores the experiences of Estonian refugees, who migrated from Sweden to
Canada in search of a safe haven after Stalin occupied their homeland.
Their 32-day voyage across the Atlantic is central to understanding how
identity and memories shift in conjunction with the in-between spaces that
are created through forced migration and across geographical spaces.
Mannik has also co-edited a volume titled, Reclaiming Canadian Bodies:
Representation and Visual Media, which looks at how representations of
Canadian bodies are constructed and performed within the context of visual
and discursive mediated content (Wilfrid Laurier Press, 2014). Her chapter
compares two photographic portrayals in the Canadian press, the arrival of
the Walnut in 1948 and the arrival of the Amelie in 1987, to demonstrate
how refugees' bodies are used to visually promote timely state ideologies,
and also to establish and control types of 'ethnic others' that are
granted inclusion. Mannik is also the author of Canadian Indian Cowboys in
Australia: Representation, Rodeo and the RCMP at the Royal Easter Show,
1939 (University of Calgary Press, 2006) and has published in Visual
Studies, and Memory Studies.

CFP: Urban Encounters: Art and the Public (Halifax - October 2013) deadline June 30
CALL FOR PAPERS (please circulate)
Urban Encounters: Art and the Public
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, October 10-12, 2013
Public art installations are increasingly being created and used to open up
new lines of inquiry into the socialities of urban public space. As cities
strive to be indexed as culturally dynamic and 'creative', the stakes of
artistic production in public space are raised ever higher. Yet there has
been little rigorous research into how the interactions between art and the
public actually play out in the urban social context. This
interdisciplinary colloquium brings together artists and researchers to
explore how artworks in diverse media and genres can shape the urban public
– the patterned and unpredictable encounters, events, and flows of city
life – and, conversely, how the urban public can shape artistic production.
We ask:
- What forms are artistic engagements with the city taking, and how do they
influence the city's people and places?
- How does the urban public encounter art in the city, and how do these
encounters affect the structure and content of the work?
- What kinds of urban publics are generated through art?
- How can we investigate and interpret encounters between art and the
public in urban spaces?
Site-specific artworks in public space have the potential to change the
ways in which members of the public experience their cities. Artworks that
fit into the interstices of the city – the car parks or alleyways, the gaps
between buildings – open up these spaces for new exploration. Artworks that
appropriate central urban places, like main squares or monuments, can
reframe or subvert their dominant meanings. Art can alter the fabric of the
city by projecting images or sounds onto its architectural surfaces. Art
can use new media technologies to create circuits for the urban to flow
from 'real' to 'virtual' and back again. In short, art can disrupt and
rework the social and affective spaces of the city.
Moreover, while all art is interactive, in the sense that people react to
and therefore interact with it, many artists are experimenting with work
that exists only through explicit engagement with the public in some form.
This can mean attending carefully to the structures and rhythms of public
spaces, such that their surfaces or sounds, for instance, are built into
the piece. Or it can mean creating art that is activated by participants'
gestures in situ or accessed via individuals' mobile devices. Art can be
crowdsourced, with conduits set up for incorporating textual or visual
contributions from members of the public. More rarely, viewers' experiences
of art might be directly integrated into the work itself. Still other kinds
of public art are conversation pieces (Kester), generated through more or
less long-term collaborations with groups of people investigating specific
urban social problems in creative ways. Artistic engagement with the urban
public can generate original, sometimes surprising encounters.
This colloquium will engage these themes through academic papers, artists'
talks, exhibitions, and workshops on interdisciplinary collaboration. We
invite submissions for scholarly papers that focus on the themes of the
colloquium from academics, researchers and artists working in the social
sciences, humanities, urban planning, architecture, fine arts and media
arts. Space is limited, as the aim here is to give ample time for in-depth
presentation and discussion of high-quality papers, circulated before the
colloquium, with a view to producing a special journal issue. Send an
abstract of up to 250 words, along with authors' names, affiliations and
email and postal addresses to tracingthecity@gmail.com by June 30.
Conference organizers: Solomon Nagler (NSCAD University); Kim Morgan (NSCAD
University); Martha Radice (Dalhousie University). Contact
tracingthecity@gmail.com for further information.

reframe or subvert their dominant meanings. Art can alter the fabric of the
city by projecting images or sounds onto its architectural surfaces. Art
can use new media technologies to create circuits for the urban to flow
from 'real' to 'virtual' and back again. In short, art can disrupt and
rework the social and affective spaces of the city.
Moreover, while all art is interactive, in the sense that people react to
and therefore interact with it, many artists are experimenting with work
that exists only through explicit engagement with the public in some form.
This can mean attending carefully to the structures and rhythms of public
spaces, such that their surfaces or sounds, for instance, are built into
the piece. Or it can mean creating art that is activated by participants'
gestures in situ or accessed via individuals' mobile devices. Art can be
crowdsourced, with conduits set up for incorporating textual or visual
contributions from members of the public. More rarely, viewers' experiences
of art might be directly integrated into the work itself. Still other kinds
of public art are conversation pieces (Kester), generated through more or
less long-term collaborations with groups of people investigating specific
urban social problems in creative ways. Artistic engagement with the urban
public can generate original, sometimes surprising encounters.
This colloquium will engage these themes through academic papers, artists'
talks, exhibitions, and workshops on interdisciplinary collaboration. We
invite submissions for scholarly papers that focus on the themes of the
colloquium from academics, researchers and artists working in the social
sciences, humanities, urban planning, architecture, fine arts and media
arts. Space is limited, as the aim here is to give ample time for in-depth
presentation and discussion of high-quality papers, circulated before the
colloquium, with a view to producing a special journal issue. Send an
abstract of up to 250 words, along with authors' names, affiliations and
email and postal addresses to tracingthecity@gmail.com by June 30.
Conference organizers: Solomon Nagler (NSCAD University); Kim Morgan (NSCAD
University); Martha Radice (Dalhousie University). Contact
