[ecrea] CFP: Visualizing (in) the New Media

CfP Call for Paper
Visualizing (in) the New Media
08.11.2017-10.11.2017
Neuchâtel, Switzerland

In November 2017, the Universities of Neuchâtel, Zurich and Bern in 
Switzerland will host the first international conference to focus 
specifically on visual communication in/about new media. In this regard, 
we invite the submission of abstracts for scholarly presentations in any 
of four overlapping thematic areas.

1. Social interaction
Here, we envisage presentations that focus on the communicative uses of 
visual resources in the context of new media; for example: orthography 
and typography, graphematic design, the use of emojis (pictograms, 
emoticons, smilies), and/or the social-interactional uses of video, GIFs 
and non-moving images.
2. Meta-discourse Here, we envisage presentations that focus on people’s 
talk or writing about visual practices; for example: journalistic 
commentary about visual practices in new media (the use of emojis, for 
instance) or communicators’ discussions about their own or others’ 
visual practices in new media spaces.

3. Visual ideologies Here, we envisage presentations that focus on the 
visual depiction of new media in, for example, the context of commercial 
advertising, print or broadcast news, cinema and television narratives 
and/or public policy and educational settings.

4. Industrial design Here, we envisage presentations that focus on 
perspectives related to, for example, the visual-material design of 
technologies and apps, as well as the look or layout of screen 
interfaces, especially insofar as they concern the communicative (as 
opposed to technical) affordances of new media.
