[ecrea] The Poster: Call for Papers

Fri Oct 11 21:33:26 GMT 2013





Call for Papers: the editors of The Poster are now seeking submissions


The designer acts as a constructor of artificiality by designing cultural interface artifacts. By analyzing the poster/artifact through its visual rhetoric, The Poster asks if it is possible to perceive and reveal the contours of its poesis construction. The identification of moments of formal rupture corresponds to a focus upon the relationship between authorial dynamics, technologies and programmes, and the constraints that these impose upon the designer’s freedom.


Thus, at any given moment, the resulting of visual rhetoric of the posters represents one possible manifestation of these complexities. The Poster seeks contributions based in interpretation, culture and attention to social signals that characterize a time and a space, using design history as a tool to discover particularities of the poster at visual rhetoric level and from the following perspectives: How did the concept of the poster evolve over time its role in setting the terms of the debate in the public sphere? How does authorship assume innovation, valorization, singularity, intention/desire and identity on the poster? How does technology variation, with its means of production and reproduction, its normalization and its rule affect the poster? How do the technologies of production enforce a graphic ‘flavour’ that comes to define and how does subversion of these means signal dissent? How does the programme affect the poster by the specifications of the features and special characteristics demanded by clients?


Articles

Articles should be provided as MS Word (.doc or .docx), Open Document Text (.odt) or Rich Text Format (.RTF) files with low-resolution images (72dpi) included in the text at the intended positions in the text: full print resolution images will be called for later. You can send us both colour and greyscale images.

Papers should be between 5000 and 8000 words long. Once a paper is accepted we’ll ask for the full resolution images.


Visual contributions

These contributions must make an explicable narrative point. They should be presented, in the first instance, as low-resolution .jpg or .png files (72 dpi), numbered in the order in which they should be read (if ambiguity is the intent please help us out by sending us a visual that explains their intended organization). Please include (as either metadata or on an accompanying list) details of copyright, authorship and ownership.
