Call for Papers

Abstracts are solicited for An International Word & Image Conference:

Artists' Words & Writers' Images
Les mots de l'artiste, les images de l'écrivain

to be held at the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA, June 2009. The focus of the conference will be on practitioners of the verbal and plastic arts and the significance of their sister practices in their works.

The conference organizers are open to a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches as well as diverse disciplines and fields of study; preferred, however, are presentations which focus on the link between verbal and non-verbal representation. The topic of the conference will allow for a rich interdisciplinary approach of all the possibilities it offers within a strict "Word & Image perspective.”

Abstracts and papers can be submitted in French or English.

This event is sponsored by the international French/English journal INTERFACES, the University of Paris 7, and the College of the Holy Cross. Papers submitted for the conference will be considered for publication in INTERFACES.

Abstracts deadline is February 1, 2009. Send abstracts to Frédéric Ogée (ogee@paris7.jussieu.fr) / Maurice Geracht (mgeracht@holycross.edu)
