Call for Papers: „Atmospheres: tuned rooms and sensory perception“

Deadline for Articles: 4. March 2013



We are happy to accept articles for the peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary 
Yearbook of Immersive Media (Jahrbuch immersiver Medien). The 2013 issue 
is entitled 'Atmospheres: tuned rooms and sensory perception'.



The yearbook is published in German and English. Each issue is devoted 
to special topics dealing with aspects of immersive media. It is 
published by the Department of Media and the Centre for Culture and 
Science Communication at the University of Applied Sciences Kiel, 
Germany. Immersive media are understood broadly as media which posess 
immersive potential in that they can bridge the gap between media user 
and medium. This emphasizes the dissolution of borders between the 
object and the subject just like the term or concept atmosphere does. 
Grounding on the new phenomenology (Neue Phänomenologie), founded by 
Hermann Schmitz, and the new aesthetics (Neue Ästhetik), defined by 
Gernot Böhme, atmospheric phenomena can be understood as part of our 
everyday life. The term atmosphere is related to concepts like 
recentering or displacement, which are useful to describe what is meant 
by the term immersion. Atmospheres can be understood as tuned rooms 
(Elisabeth Ströker), quasi objective feelings (Hermann Schmitz) or 
spheres of sensed corporeal presence (Gernot Böhme). They are the mode 
in which objects, art, rooms, scenes or scenographies presented to the 
spectator.



The yearbook is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary publication aimed at 
an international academic readership. The Yearbook invites to send 
articles dealing with themes like architecture, literature, music, sound 
and audio design, film, virtual reality, games etc. applied to the 
concept of atmosphere.

Submitted articles must be original contributions that engage with 
recent studies dealing with immersive theory and practice. Contributions 
should be 5000 to 8000 words in length. Please send an abstract, brief 
biographical information and contact details and your article to Dr. 
Patrick Rupert-Kruse via: (immersive-medien /at/ fh-kiel.de). The deadline for 
articles is the 4. March 2013. A style sheet can be obtained through our 
website at www.immersive-medien.de.
