Call for Papers for the Sixteenth Annual Scottish Scottish Word and Image Group Conference
The Realm of the Senses: Perceptual Analogy in Words and Images
Tuesday 30th June & Wednesday 1st July 2009
University of Dundee, Scotland
The 2009 conference will focus on the role of the senses in word and image, exploring issues related to how words and images can represent sensory perception, and how they can stand in for a missing sense. The combination or words and images in this regard is a particularly fruitful relationship, creating analogies for perceptual experience that represent or imply shade, texture, light, sound, even taste and smell through some other sensory channel.
Proposals should be c.300 words for papers lasting 20 minutes and should directly address representations of the senses in word and image. The deadline for proposals is 15th May 2009.
