Call for Papers / Panels

====================================
Society for Phenomenology and Media
16th Annual Conference
---------------------------------------------------------------
March 12-15, 2014
Hochschule Furtwangen University and
Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Germany
====================================

The Society for Phenomenology and Media (SPM) is pleased to receive 
abstracts (200 words maximum) for consideration of inclusion in its 16th 
annual international conference. The conference will be sponsored by 
Hochschule Furtwangen University, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, 
and the Husserl Archives-Freiburg. It will be held in Freiburg im 
Breisgau at the university.

Proposals for 3-person panels are now also being accepted. These should 
be organized around specific media—for example: film, the Internet, 
mobile communication, medieval manuscripts, print media (books, 
newspapers, and magazines), stage drama, television, visual art, dance, 
etc. Panel proposals should include three papers, one of them by the 
panel organizer. Individual abstract submissions are assigned to a panel 
by the conference host.

The Society for Phenomenology and Media encourages interdisciplinary 
approaches and theoretical diversity. Individual papers and panels need 
not be limited to phenomenological approaches. In the past, papers have 
come from diverse theoretical perspectives, including critical theory, 
cultural studies, hermeneutics, Marxism, New Historicism, post-colonial 
theory, pragmatism, semiotics, speech-act theory, and others. 
Participants have come from a wide range of disciplines: philosophy, 
media studies, communications, psychology, history, political science, 
sociology, rhetoric, literary theory, cognitive science, cultural 
studies, and other fields.

Deadline for individual abstracts and panel proposals: *October 30th, 2013*.

Doctoral students are invited to submit proposals, but should note that 
SPM limits the number of papers from students.
Conference abstracts and panel proposals submitted are peer reviewed. 
Papers accepted and presented are published in /Glimpse/, the annual 
publication of SPM.

For consideration, send abstracts, panel proposals, and other questions to:
