[ecrea] Times and movements of the image - International Conference

*Times and movements of the image*

*International Conference*

Caldas da Rainha and Lisbon, 15 and 16 November 2018**

**

Among several artistic projects and critical debates developed in recent 
years in the fields of art history, art criticism, film and new media 
studies, many bring to the fore issues of hybridity, medium specificity 
and image materiality. Emphasis is placed on questions concerning the 
ways of experiencing "subliminal images" (R. Durand, 1995) in 
contemporary visual practices. For example, in photography the focus 
shifted from the isolated moment to the productive relationship between 
stasis and motion (D. Sutton, 2009), including visual arrangements that 
transform notions of "photographic narrativity" (P.Wollen, 1984; 
G.Baker, 2008). In cinema, chrononormativity and linear montage give 
place to the interruption of movement, addressed by Bellour as a new 
category of time that extends Gilles Deleuze's dynamic taxonomy of 
images (R.Bellour, 1987; 2002). New media technologies, such as video 
and audio-visual installation, considered by some authors as 
"transformation imagery" (Y.Spielmann, 2008), focus on the transitions 
between images and the experience of time, encompassing "unintended 
pleasures" (L.Mulvey, 2006) and new forms of creative thinking and 
spectatorship. Finally, performance is increasingly integrated in 
cinema, photography and video, leading to the investigation of the 
practices of the body in relation to anti-diegetic structures and 
processes of repetition and duration. Finally, even the so-called 
traditional artistic disciplines increasingly incorporate issues of time 
and movement that question the conventional principles of representation.

We invite scholars, artists and independent researchers interested in 
the study of the multiple times and movements of the images, probed in 
their limits and potentialities across different media and disciplines. 
We are interested in presentations and artistic projects that consider 
the tensions between the still image and the moving image, and/or that 
seek to examine the problems of durability posed by the new technologies 
of the image and by performance art, while keeping focus on the many 
issues this subject raises when confronted with the so-called 
traditional disciplines of painting, sculpture and drawing.

*Conference Venue & Dates***

The conference will take place at the Caldas da Rainha School of Arts 
and Design, Polytechnic Institute of Leiria (IPLeiria-ESAD.CR), and at 
the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universidade NOVA de 
Lisboa, on 15 and 16 November 2018, respectively.

*Submit Abstracts*

Proposals for individual papers of 20 minutes should be sent in MS Word 
(max. 500 words, including the title and the theme it most adheres to), 
followed by a short bio (250 words: full name and status). We encourage 
academic investigations that aim at re-examining the new possibilities 
of intermediality, contributing to the theoretical reflection and 
artistic redefinition of what an image is today.

*Submit Artistic Projects*

Artistic projects may be presented in any medium or explore the crossing 
of different artistic disciplines, and shall allow interpretations on 
the conference themes or experiment on subjects relevant to the main 
topics. Artists should submit a description and draft that will be 
assessed by a specific scientific committee.We encourage applications by 
artists holding an advanced academic degree, or in the course of 
obtaining an advanced academic degree in their field of expertise.**

All proposals must be submitted by email to: 
*(timesandmovementsoftheimage /at/ gmail.com) 
<mailto:(timesandmovementsoftheimage /at/ gmail.com)>*

by *15 June 2018*.

Participants will be notified by the end of June, and the conference 
program will be published in July. The working languages of the 
conference are English and Portuguese. After the conference, a second 
call on this theme will be opened to select articles to be published in 
*Revista de História da Arte - Série W* 
<http://revistaharte.fcsh.unl.pt/>, a peer-reviewed online journal. The 
selected artistic projects will be exhibited in a show to be held from 
15 November to 15 December 2018 (place to be defined).
