[ecrea] Storymaking Symposium proposal submission deadline 9th September

Call for papers
Storymaking is a one day Symposium to be held on Friday 11th November 
2016, at The Liverpool Screen School, Liverpool John Moores University 
organized in collaboration with the ICC (Institute of Cultural Capital).

The focus of this symposium is making stories with rather than just for 
the audience.

In the contemporary cultural landscape we can all self publish our 
novel, release our own films online and share our photography through 
numerous social media sites, gathering our own audience from across the 
globe. These new capabilities are altering the relationship between 
producers and consumers of cultural products and afford possibilities 
for new experiences that are collaborative.

Participatory culture is a new and developing area of media practice, 
which would benefit from exploration and discussion of; technologies 
that afford participation, the ethics of collaboration with users, the 
creative potential of working with an audience and methods to develop 
communities of users.

This discussion will allow a sharing of practice amongst those who 
already produce new media / digital content and work collaboratively 
with others and practitioners who are interested in developing work with 
audiences and users

The symposium will investigate approaches to participatory cultural 
practice and ask - what happens when the audience joins in?

Themes to explore might include (but are not limited to):
Participation in narrative projects
Creative collaboration
Guardianship of people’s stories
Providing a voice
Connecting people and places
Creating a social archive
Methods for creating a community of collaborators
Ethics and ownership
Audience versus participant

Presentations will be 20 minutes duration.

company) and up to 250 word abstract to:
