[ecrea] Call for abstracts - Archiving and Visualization of Intangible Heritage

Special Session 1: Archiving and Visualization of Intangible Heritage

Call for participation

A special session will be held as part of NODEM 2012 Hong Kong, 
organised by DIHA (Digital Intangible Heritage in Asia).

The aim of this special session is to provide a platform for culture 
heritage researchers, museum curators, educators, digital media 
specialists, linguists, designers and others in these related industries 
to present the challenges in their respective fields with a view to 
promote opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. We believe 
that collaboration at this level will spark major breakthroughs in 
highlighting awareness of intangible heritage in Asia.

sub-fields including, but not limited to:

    * cultural research and inquiries in intangible heritage
    * environmental and ecological issues and intangible heritage
    * the role of language and cultural knowledge repositories in the 
conservation of intangible heritage
    * curating intangible heritage in museums
    * interface and design of digital media for the exhibition of 
intangible heritage
    * meaning-making and the interpretation of intangible heritage 
exhibitions
    * visual media and memory and intangible heritage
    * innovative ways of accessing intangible heritage resources


Submissions are welcome from researchers, developers, curators and 
exhibition designers. Please submit your abstract (300 words) to
