[Bilimsel Haber] CFP: Telling Tales: Visual Design and Narrative (9/15/06; collection)

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

Call For Papers  Edited Collection:
Telling  Tales: Visual Design and Narrative in Contemporary Culture

By  identifying an innovative and neglected area of research, this
potential edited  collection proposes to bring together academic works,
which seek to reveal and  analyse hidden and implicit narratives within
a design context.

 From the  world of high fashion to the thrill of the theme park, this
book will
explore  the notion of alternative narratives embodied within an
everyday lived experience of design, radically forging together the
disparate spheres of screen  and visual studies with those of art and
design.

The collection is  aimed at students and academics of the
interdisciplinary subjects of art and  design, fashion, product and game
design, film, television and animation,  creative writing and English
studies. The scope of the areas covered by the book will allow scholars
of these subjects to extrapolate beyond their own  discipline and
critical thinking, discovering how narrative plays an integral  part in
the design of contemporary culture.

Proposed chapters already under  consideration include:
         Body  Design and Fashion
         Theme Park  Narratives
         Animation
         Film  Editing
         Book Covers in Misery  Memoir
         Art Installation and  Narrative

Abstracts covering variations of these areas will still be  considered.

Prospective chapters are being sought in other areas  and could include
but are not limited to:
Narratives of Space and Place
Product Design
Location and Set Design
Colour and  Cinematography
Genre Design
Radio and the Visual  Imagination
Costume/Fashion

Please email abstracts of approx 250  - 300 words to the editors by 15th
September 2006. Successful contributors  should have chapters of 4,000
to 6,000 words prepared for mid 2007  submission.
