[Commlist] Call for Papers: Knowing place through film and audiovisual media

Call for Papers: Knowing place through film and audiovisual media

Organised by Island Dynamics in collaboration with UiT The Arctic 
University of Norway – Alta and the Center for Caribbean Studies at 
Hangzhou Normal University, this academic conference on ‘Knowing place 
through film’ asks how audiovisual media and arts interact with, are 
influenced by, and construct people (folk), place, and culture—including 
folklore, Indigenous knowledge, traditional ecological knowledge, and 
other ways of knowing that are commonly conceptualised as local or 
culturally specific. We invite presentations concerning how people, 
place, and culture are mutually constitutive and present in either 
particular artworks, at a broader level within communities or groups, or 
more broadly still from a comparative perspective

The conference will take place 9-11 February 2026, in Alta, Norway

Abstracts should be 150-200 words long. The deadline for abstracts is 31 
August 2025. Abstracts will be considered on a rolling basis, so if you 
submit early, you can get a response early.

Interested authors are encouraged to submit papers to the peer-reviewed 
journal Folk, Knowledge, Place. Papers will need to match the journal’s 
theme and scope. Conference registrants who submit papers before 31 
October 2025 will benefit from expedited editorial handling.
