[eccr] Fwd: IVSA 2003 Conference

>IMAGES OF SOCIAL LIFE
>
>Exploring the New Foundations of Visual Studies
>
>
>International Visual Sociology Association Conference, at the University of
>Southampton, UK July 8th -10th 2003
>
>An international, cross-disciplinary conference, Images of Social Life
>invites contributions to a matrix of visual strategies in film, video, still
>photography and multi media used to formulate, conduct and disseminate
>social research.
>Contributions dealing visually with all aspects of social life - intimate
>scenes of personal life, subjectivity formation, domestic organisation,
>urban life, work, community, biography, place, migration and global
>processes - particularly those linking different degrees of magnification,
>scope and scale are strongly encouraged. Themes that cross-cut the usual
>tensions between the micro and the macro, individual lives and bigger social
>processes, the global and the local, the general and the particular, the
>theoretical and the empirical, and connect small landscapes with bigger
>processes are particularly welcome. Creating a matrix across disciplines,
>research fields, methodologies, and forms of social analysis, we will see
>what different visual strategies can achieve by moving in different
>directions and operating at different levels.
>
>On past experience we expected this conference to attract scholars from the
>US and all over Europe from a broad range of disciplinary bases including
>Cultural and Media Studies, Geography, History, English, Architecture and
>Urban Planning, Politics, Psychology, Art and Design, Anthropology,
>Sociology and Social Policy. It is intended for those who work with images -
>whether making their own or using those of other people, in film, video,
>still photography and multi-media - in understanding social life. It is also
>for those who would like to develop their visual literacy as researchers and
>teachers and learn basic skills in the photography and video workshops.
>
