First Call For Papers
We are pleased to announce the First Call for Papers for the
Fourth International Conference on Multimodality (4-ICOM) taking
place in Singapore on 30 July - 1 Aug 2008. The conference theme
is ‘From Print to Interactive Digital Media: Technology, Multimodal
Representation and Knowledge’.
4-ICOM brings together leading international scholars from a
range of disciplines (i.e. linguistics, social semiotics, communications & new
media, digital media art, history, mathematics, science, computer
science and education) to explore the ways in which technology
enables and constrains the ways knowledge, social relations and
culture are constructed and enacted, with a special focus on
interactive digital media. The aim is to explore the functions
of language, visual imagery, three dimensional objects, space,
sound, music and so forth, and to develop new approaches to understanding
how these resources integrate in the world of new interactive
digital media.
Questions which arise include the following. What is the relationship
between technology, multimodal representation and knowledge?
How is interactive digital media changing our view of the world
and each other? What are the implications for teaching and research
in the humanities and social sciences? What directions have research & development
in digital technology taken, and for what reasons?
We encourage papers which address the conference themes from
different theoretical perspectives. Papers which address more
general issues in semiotics, multimodality and multimodal analysis
are also welcome.
4-ICOM is run in conjunction with the International Symposium
on Electronic Arts (ISEA2008).
4-ICOM participants will have access to ISEA2008 exhibitions
and galleries at no charge from 25 July to 3 August 2008. Information
on the exhibitions, galleries and combined events will be provided
soon.
