CFP: “Lex-ICON – Treating the Image as Text and the Text as Image”

Tuesday at 6:00pm until Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 11:30pm

Call for Papers for International Conference at Université de Haute Alsace in Mulhouse, France, Mulhouse, France

CFP online at : http://lex-icon21.blogspot.com/
Multidisciplinary conference on text and image creation, use and reception in ultra-contemporary literature and visual art (works created in the 21st century).
//
Colloque multidisciplinaire sur le texte et l’image, leur création et leur élaboration, dans les domaines de la littérature et de l’art plastique. Focus : les œuvres « ultra contemporaines » (créés depuis 2000).Short version of CFP Anglais :
This conference will unite researchers from varied disciplines in order to begin formulating a new criticism for the 21st century’s authors and visual artists who are given to making texts to see as if they were geometric forms, or forms to read, colors and visual sequences whose nature it had once been to reach spectators and their perceptions with an inherent immediacy.In particular, Lex-ICON will focus on the reception of hybrid works, asking whether language and words are necessary to say or communicate things and ideas or even to think. Can one simply feel thought through the gaze without ever really having the words, the grammar and thus language itself to describe it? Is a process of translation from the visual to linguistic necessary for thought to take place? The debates which have surrounded the treatment, classification, teaching, economy and reception of such works and the theories on lexiconographic work have long lived in separate ponds, our idea is to unify them to seek a common, cross-disciplinary discourse.

Discussions and panels will be joined by a series of artistic and literary presentations and performances during and around the conference in the region of Alsace and the city of Mulhouse.

Paper proposals (250-300 words) in French or English should be emailed before the 25th of February 2012. They should be sent to both Jennifer K Dick (jennifer-kay.dick@uha.fr or fragment3@yahoo.com) and to Océane Delleaux (oceane.delleaux@wanadoo.fr).

Résumé de notre appel à contributions:
S’agirait-il d’une attention emphatique à la substance physique du langage qui unirait écrivains et plasticiens aujourd’hui ? Ou s’agit-il de modes de représentation et de conceptualisation bien différents engendrant des bouleversements culturels profonds ?

Ce colloque a pour but de réunir des chercheurs de plusieurs disciplines pour poser une première pierre de réflexion critique sur ces écrivains et ces plasticiens qui donnent à voir des textes comme s’ils étaient des formes géométriques, ou à lire des formes, des couleurs et des séquences visuelles dont la nature même traditionnellement touche les spectateurs et leurs perceptions par un effet d’immédiateté inhérent.

Plus particulièrement, nous nous pencherons sur la réception des œuvres hybrides. Les débats qui entourent le traitement, la classification, l’enseignement, l’économie et la réception de telles œuvres ne sont pas neufs, mais ils deviennent de plus en plus souvent les motifs de l’art et de la littérature de l’ultra contemporain. Il s’agira donc à contribuer à la théorisation de l’effet produit par l’intersémioticité de ces pratiques verbo-visuelles en y ajoutant par ailleurs toute une série d’interventions artistiques et littéraires qui se dérouleront régionalement autour du colloque.

Les propositions de communications (250-300 mots environ) en français ou en anglais devront être envoyées avant le 25 février 2012. Elles sont à adresser à Jennifer K Dick (jennifer-kay.dick@uha.fr ou fragment3@yahoo.com) et à Océane Delleaux (oceane.delleaux@wanadoo.fr).

Les réponses du comité scientifique seront communiquées avant le 15 mars 2012.L’ensemble des informations concernant le colloque ainsi que notre appel à contributions complète est accessible à l’adresse :

KWH:

Why PennSound is going dark today

from Charles Bernstein’s
http://jacket2.org/commentary/why-pennsound-going-dark-today

Universities depend upon the free exchange of ideas. PennSound is the Internet’s largest archive of poetry sound recordings, all available for free for noncommercial and educational use. PennSound will symbolically go black on Wednesday in solidarity with those opposing SOPA and PIPA. PennSound will not be directly affected by these proposed laws, if they are enacted, because all our material is fully permissioned.  But all of us who use the Internet for research or education will be gravely affected by unnecessary regulations that will stifle innovation and block access to information.  Large corporate interest want to privatize knowledge: to gobble it all up (whether it is theirs or not) and sell it. They want to turn around the American principle of presumption of innocence on its head by saying that all knowledge and information is private until proven otherwise. Unlike in China, in our democracy, the presumption must be that information is free to circulate unless a compelling reason can be shown to block it. Knowledge is our commons, a fundamentally shared resource. To indiscriminately block access to vital web resources – without full due process and presumption of innocence – wounds our democracy and cripples our republic. The cures these two bills propose are far worse than the problems they seek to address. There are better, wiser approaches. Don’t let Big Brother get away with this one.
