[Commlist] MeCCSA 2020 Call for papers – Practice based research

*MeCCSA 2020, University of Brighton, UK, **8-10 January 2020*

*Supplemental Call For Papers - Practice Based Research*


The Media, Communication and Cultural Studies Association are pleased to 
invite the submission of practice-based contributions for the MeCCSA 
2020 Conference, to be held from 8-10 January 2020 at the University of 
Brighton. The theme of the conference is* Media Interactions and 
Environments.* We actively support the presentation of 
practice-as-research and have a flexible approach to practice papers, 
presentations and the exhibition of work.

To complement the MeCCSA presentations, panels, roundtables and 
screenings, a dedicated exhibition space has been set up in the School 
of Media’s foyer gallery, to exhibit film and video, photography, sound 
and other media-based work. This is a light space with ample daylight, 
which has flexible walls for hanging of works, which can also 
accommodate moving image work. We also have a cinema-style screening 
room which can be used for short films, videos and digital work. 
Contributors are invited to submit work for the gallery as part of their 
presentation. This may be still or moving image, projected or 
monitor-based work, which creatively addresses the theme of *Media 
Interactions and Environments*. This exhibition will seek to explore how 
mediation, screen performance, sound and photography contribute to a 
reconfiguration of contemporary relations and environments. All set-ups 
need to be simple and adaptable to existing facilities, and all 
delivery/transportation of work is at the cost and risk of the exhibitor.

Practice-based research proposals may take many forms. Contributors may 
present papers and screenings in the same sessions or as part of a 
separate screening strand. We also welcome shorter papers in association 
with short screenings.  For displaying practice work, please include 
specific technical data (e.g. duration, format) and a URL pointing to 
any support material when submitting your abstract. We expect delegates 
who are showing work to be present at the conference.
