LOCATION:Dundee\, United Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:<p>Tenth Annual IAWIS/IERTI Triennial Conference&nbsp\;and Twenty-First Annual Scottish Word and Image Group Conference</p>\n<p>Taking its cue from the writings of two of Dundee's great visual thinkers\, D'Arcy Thompson and Patrick Geddes\, "Riddles of Form" seeks to investigate the roles of exploration and discovery in word and image studies\, and in particular the creative links between word\, image and science in its broadest sense. What can science tell us about word-image relationships? How have art-forms that rely on both word and image been altered by science? To what extent does our understanding of science (professional and popular) depend on the interplay of word and image in (for example) scientific diagrams and models? How do other word-image inter-relations function within scientific research and discovery? How might new conceptual topographies in verbal and visual media be explored "scientifically"?</p>\n<p>POTENTIAL SESSION THEMES INCLUDE\, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Designs for Life</li>\n<li>Thinking Machines</li>\n<li>A Sketch of the Universe</li>\n<li>"Commune Vinculum"</li>\n<li>Science / Fiction</li>\n<li>Frankenstein in Dundee</li>\n<li>Voyages extraordinaire</li>\n<li>Jules Verne in Scotland</li>\n<li>Polar Extremes</li>\n<li>Outer / Inner Space</li>\n<li>Riddles of the Ninth Art</li>\n<li>Word and Image in Museums of Science</li>\n<li>Visual Literacies / Literary Visualities (in the Digital Age)</li>\n<li>Eco-Spheres (Nature and Ecology)</li>\n<li>Evolutions</li>\n<li>Alchemy and Natural Philosophy</li>\n<li>Para-science</li>\n<li>C P Snow and the Two Cultures</li>\n<li>Polymaths</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>DEADLINE FOR SESSION PROPOSALS: end of June</p>\n\n<p>Abstracts for sessions should be a maximum of 300 words.
