[Sule Tarakcioglu]

Conference: Global Photographies: Histories¦ Theories¦ Practices

Venue: Institute of Art, Design & Technology, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin,
Ireland

Date: Wednesday 27th - Friday 29th June 2007


The Photography Program at the Institute of Art Design & Technology, Dun
Laoghaire in Dublin is pleased to announce that it will be holding an
international conference on photography and globalization in June 2007.
The aim of the conference is to bring together photographers, artists,
curators and writers on the photographic image from any discipline to
examine all aspects of photography's role in globalization.

Widely perceived to be the driving force of our era, Globalization has
attracted much critical commentary within the field of visual culture.
Despite interest in the correlations between globalization and the
visual, however, there has been relatively little examination of the
role of photography in shaping the global media landscape. Equally the
impact of globalization on photographic and artistic practices has been
an area that has not received much commentary. The aim of this
conference is to bring together photographers, curators and writers to
explore all aspects of the impact of globalization on photography. The
conference also aims to bring together photographers and writers
examining histories of the photographic image outside of the dominant
Western view of photography.

The conference organizers seek 300-500 word proposals for 20-25 minute
presentations or panel discussions on any theme related to photography
and globalization. Possible themes and issues that may be explored
include but are not limited to;

-Representations of globalization in contemporary photography
-The impact of globalization on contemporary photographic practices
-Non western histories of the photographic image
-Photography and cultural diplomacy -Photography, 9/11 and the 'war on
Terror'
-Photoblogs and the Internet
-Environmentalism
-Photojournalism and the global media
-The 'global archive'
-Photography, globalization and the image content industry
-Photography and Diasporic identities
-Teaching globalization and photography
-Globalization and the photographic industry (digital imaging etc.)
-Urbanization
-Migration

In addition the conference organizers are interested in receiving
proposals for presentations by artists groups, organizations or
photographers who are working on projects related to photography and
globalization.
