[Siguse-l] Document Academy call for papers

[Pamela McKenzie]

DOCAM'12


    

        The Document
            Academy invites PROPOSALS FOR PAPERS 

      

      DOCAM'12 is the ninth annual meeting of the Document Academy, an
      international network of scholars, artists and professionals in
      various fields, who are interested in the exploration of the
      concept of the document as a resource for scholarly, artistic, and
      professional work.

      

      The aim of The Document Academy is to foster a multi-disciplinary
      space for experimental and critical research on the document in
      the widest sense, drawing on scholarship, traditions and
      experiences from the arts and humanities, social sciences, education, and
      from such diverse fields as information, media, museum, archival,
      cultural, and science studies.

      

    The
      Document Academy originated as a co-sponsored effort by the Program of
      Documentation Studies, University of Tromsø, Norway, and
      the School of Information, University of California, Berkeley. The
      2012 conference is hosted by the Faculty of Information &
      Media Studies at the University of Western Ontario in London,
      Ontario, Canada.

      

      The conference is tentatively scheduled to begin with a reception
      and keynote presentation on Wednesday evening, August 15, and to
      continue with presentations and discussions from 9 a.m. on
      Thursday, August 16, to 6:00 p.m. on Friday, August 17. These dates will be
        confirmed shortly. To preserve the atmosphere of
      open-ended discussion of previous DOCAM conferences, DOCAM'12 will
      feature only plenary sessions and a poster session to allow for
      additional exchange of ideas.

        posters may address:

      

    DOCUMENT
      THEORY (general , conceptual, and theoretical research)

    DOCUMENT ANALYSIS
      (case studies, methodological issues, projects, history)

    DOCUMENT
      STRUCTURE, CREATION, AND DESIGN (creative and practical work)

     

      All presentations following the keynote presentation will be
      allotted 40 minutes, including discussion.

      

      Poster size:  20 in. x 30 in. or 30 in. x 40 in. Posters will
      be on display throughout the conference, and open discussion is
      encouraged.
