PG Conference University of Sussex

15th-16th April, 2009

Visual culture is today in a state of radical change, across all of its myriad fields. This change is not only marked by the influence which the development of new technologies is having upon the practice of visual arts (i.e. 'mixed-media' theatre; the digital manipulation of the photographic / filmic image or cinematic production), and upon how the 'image' is theorised. It is also marked by an increasing trend towards interdisciplinarity, the dissolving of boundaries between formerly discrete fields, and the recognition of their influence upon one another.

We would welcome submissions from postgraduate research students for papers not exceeding 20 minutes. We would also be open to proposals for non-traditional presentations, please provide details with abstracts. Please also specify if audio-visual equipment will be required.

The deadline for abstracts, of no more than 250 words, is 19th January, 2009. These should be sent to us at: visual.conference@googlemail.com.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further queries, or would like more information.

Registration for attendance only will open 23rd January, 2009. A second announcement will be circulated with further details of this.
