2nd Global Conference: Performance: Visual Aspects of Performance Practice

2nd Global Conference: Performance: Visual Aspects
of Performance Practice

Sunday 6th November – Tuesday 8th November 2011
Prague, Czech Republic

Theatre and other types of staged performance are
inter-disciplinary forms of art, drawing ideas and
symbolisms from the fields of humanities, making
historical references and links, presenting social
relations, putting forward great ideas and
dilemmas of the mind,
highlighting aspects of the human personality and
employing all existing art-forms in order to
create a performance as a whole. Performance
practice can be examined from the artistic point
of view, but also from a cultural, a sociological,
a historical, a psychological, a
semiological, an anthropological, as well as from
an educational perspective. The term performance
practice refers to the interface within which the
work of the director, actor, movement director and
choreographer, scenographer (set and costume
designer), musical director, composer, lighting
designer and sound designer meet. It also includes
all aspects and issues involving the theatrical
process, from the initial concept to the final
realization.

The aim of this conference is to develop
discussion with a focus on the visual aspects of
performance brought up by visual and spatial
artists and researchers in various performance
disciplines and practices.

Papers, workshops, presentations and pre-formed
panels are invited on any of the following themes:

- Visual interpretation of text / of narrative
- Visual literacy and perception within performance
- The relationship between narrative, visuality
and textuality
- The birth of a visual concept
- Design as theatrical action
- Visual resources and interpretation in performance
- Scenographic materials, form, texture,
composition and light
- From design to realization – the process for the
creation of a visual environment
- Collaboration and practice in the visual aspect
of performance making
- Aesthetics and visual principles in performance
- Challenging of established aesthetics, the
relationship of old and new traditions
- Visual expression and symbolism in theatre and
performance
- The notion of the visual metaphor
- Scenographer: The author of space?
- Actor-character: Dressing the actor, dressing
the body
- Body and space: The spatial dynamics of costume
- The performativity of costume / The narrative of
dress in performance
- Costume sociology
- History of scenography
- Leading figures in the world tradition of
scenography
- Media and new technology as performance visual
elements
- The impact of new media on performance
- New approaches in performance design
- The gaze of the spectator / Aspects of spectatorship
- Cross-cultural appropriation,
Inter-disciplinarity and Interactivity in performance
- Designing theatre for particular settings and
audiences (e.g. children, elders, communities,
people with disability)
- Performance and politics – visual approaches
- Teaching the visual aspects of performance practice

Papers will also be considered on any related
theme. 300 word abstracts should be submitted by

MediAsia 2011 - The Second Asian Conference on Media and Mass Communication

MediAsia 2011 - The Second Asian Conference on
Media and Mass Communication
4 to 6 November 2011
Osaka, Japan

International Interdisciplinary
conference organized by IAFOR and its global
partners. Programme Adviser: Prof. Gary Swanson,
University of Northern Colorado. CFP: August 1,
2011.

The International Academic Forum, in conjunction
with its global partners, is pleased to announce
the second Asian Conference on Media and Mass
Communication 2011, to be held in Osaka, Japan,
from November 2010. MediAsia 2011 is an
international interdisciplinary conference that
encourages academics and professionals working in
the domains of media and mass communication to
come together in Osaka this autumn.

Last year, more than 100 academics and
practitioners from more than 25 countries met in
Osaka at the inaugural MediAsia event in a
remarkable cross-cutural and interdisciplinary
discussion. This year we will again encourage
academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas
and views in a forum encouraging lively but
respectful dialogue. This international conference
will bring together a number of university
scholars working throughout Japan, Asia, and
beyond to share ideas.

MediAsia 2011 will afford the opportunity for
renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts,
and networking across higher education. Academics
working in Japan and Asia will be encouraged to
forge working relationships with each other, as
well as with colleagues from Europe and the US,
facilitating partnerships across borders. We hope
to see you in Osaka in the fall.

Conference Themes

Special Theme 1: New Horizons

The media industry is at a crossroads in many
respects, as it seeks to come to terms with
developments in technology that simultaneously
allow new heights of journalistic excellence to be
reached, as well as the emergence of more worrying
trends. The unparalleled opportunities of today's
connected world have created a new set of
challenges that need to be met, including
questions of power and responsibility, editorial
accountability, and the erosion of more
traditional income streams. How these challenges
and opportunities are confronted will shape the
future of the media industry. This theme invites
reflection upon the future of the media, and
continues the discussion from last year's 'Brave
New World Theme'

Special Theme 2: Globalization and
Internationalization

Media organizations across the world are becoming
increasingly socially, ethnically and culturally
diverse, both as a consequence of globalization
and in response to internationalization. What are
the positive and negative effects of these
processes? How can the strangely powerful and yet
rhetorically ambiguous concepts of globalization
and internationalization exert benign and
normative influences on the media industry, and
how can they be used to more detrimental and even
sinister effect?

Special Theme 3: Power without Responsibility

It is the thirtieth anniversary of James Curran
and Jean Seaton's seminal study of the press and
broadcasting, Power without responsibility. The
origin of the books title is not 1981 however, but
50 years earlier and British politician Stanley
Baldwin, in perhaps the most eloquent rendering of
the friction felt between those who are elected,
and those who hold them accountable, but
frequently remain unaccountable themselves. 80
years on and as technological innovations have
created an ever growing media net, and where the
lines between users and consumers become
increasingly blurred, questions of media
accountability remain a constant source of discussion.

The Conference themes are designed to inspire
invitations of submissions that approach these
topics from a variety of perspectives and
approaches. However, the submission of other
topics for consideration is welcome and we also
encourage sessions within and across a variety of
disciplines and fields related to Media and Mass
Communication, including:

Advertising
Communication Technology and Digital Media
Communication Theory and Methodology
Critical and Cultural Studies, Gender and
Communication
Disaster Coverage in the Media
Film
History
