The Nomadikon Centre, The University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway and The 
College of St. Rose, Albany, New York, USA invite paper proposals for 
the 6th Nomakidon conference, "Seeing Whole: Images and Space, Images 
within Images." The Conference will be held Sept. 27-29, 2012 on The 
College St. Rose campus in Albany, New York. The conference theme 
reflects an overall interest in the process of seeing itself, with 
"seeing" suggesting but certainly not limited to physical sight, but 
inclusive of an embodied "seeing." The conference is interdisciplinary 
and invites papers on film, painting, photography, performance, music, 
material culture, and literature.

Papers may include but are not limited to the ethics and/or aesthetics 
of image, the embedded image, images that "make" space, and images that 
"are" space, the codification of image, and image that resists 
codification. In reference to the conference theme, papers may also 
address themes of gender, sexuality, race/ethnicity, dis/ability and 
class. The conference is small by design. We will accept the 25-30 
papers that best address the conference theme. We will also have two or 
three invited guest speakers.

Registration for the conference is $110.00 U.S. Optional Conference 
Dinner on Friday evening is $60.00 U.S. Hotel information will be 
provided. *Send proposals of 300-500 words to Mark Ledbetter at 
ledbettm at strose.edu by May 10, 2012.*

Nomadikon is a transdisciplinary research group and center for image 
studies and visual aesthetics at the Department of Information Science 
and Media Studies, University of Bergen. The center launched in the fall 
of 2008 with the project New Ecologies of the Image (2008-2012), and 
consists of a core team of six locally based scholars, international 
affiliates, and a global network of visual culture studies researchers.

Among the research topics pertinent to the Nomadikon project are the 
manifestations of iconoclasm and iconophobia; image wars and visual 
ideologies; the cultural performance of on/scenity (Linda Williams); the 
aestheticization of affliction; controversial and offensive images; 
media convergence and the formation of new visual ecosystems; the 
nomadicization of the image; and the visual codification of subjectivity 
and social value.

The College of Saint Rose was founded in 1920. The primary academic 
purpose of the College was the full development of the person through a 
strong liberal arts curriculum. The College of Saint Rose community 
engages highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students in rigorous 
educational experiences. In addition to developing their intellectual 
capacities, students have the opportunity to cultivate their creative 
and spiritual gifts in a diverse learning community that fosters 
integrity, interdependence, and mutual respect.?The College delivers 
distinctive and comprehensive liberal arts and professional programs 
that inspire its graduates to be productive adults, critical thinkers, 
and motivated, caring citizens.
