[ecrea] CFP: Mapping, Memory and the City

Wed Jul 15 08:59:42 GMT 2009



CALL FOR PAPERS
MAPPING, MEMORY AND THE CITY
University of Liverpool, 25-26 February 2010
School of Architecture / School of Politics and Communication Studies

Confirmed keynote speakers:
Iain Sinclair, writer and filmmaker.
Professor Robert C. Allen, Department of History, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Professor Mark Neumann, School of Communication, Northern Arizona University

This conference invites a re-evaluation of the role of maps and mapping practices in cultural explorations of urban space and memory. We invite contributions from across a broad interdisciplinary field, drawing together scholars and practitioners working in film and cultural studies, geography, architecture, urban studies, as well as those with interests in social and cultural memory, archival practice and urban heritage. Of special interest are contributions addressing the role of film and film historiography in relation to place, landscape and urban memory. While the trope of 'mapping' has remained a prominent fixture in the lexicon of recent cultural criticism and debate, studies which seek to go beyond exclusively metaphorical applications of maps and mapping, and which engage more actively with cartographic practices and resources (such as, for example, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology) remain comparatively under-developed. This conference will draw on current developments in this and other areas of research and practice. Suggested themes include:
   * GIS & digital mapping in urban cultural studies
   *  Psychogeography, memory and urban form
   * Cinematic and moving image cartographies
   * Landscape and memory in amateur film practice
   * Maps, memory and pedagogic practice
   * Maps, memory and archival practice
   * Movie Mapping: film, place-marketing and urban tourism
   * Urban geographies of film production
   * Mapping audience and film reception
