Emma Dortins ---------------------- The Oral, the Written, and Other Verbal Media (OWOVM) Conference on Poetics and Discourse: 12-14 December, 2011 Hosted by Victoria University (Melbourne, Australia) at its City Campus Second call for proposals: due 28 February 2011 OWOVM is a conference about language-based arts and related media of expression. It focuses on the relationship between medium, mode, and meaning. From ethnic cosmologies and narratives of survival to the lyricism of love and loss - cultures are built on verbal reproductions of experience, on their dissemination through arrays of oral, written, and other verbal media, and on the complex relations between participants in these discourses. Building on the previous OWOVM at the University of Saskatchewan in 2008, this conference is for both practitioners and researchers in discourse and the language arts and in related fields. It expressly provides a forum for explorations of Indigeneity and autochthony, orality and literacy, and ideologies around cultural reproduction. It brings together composers and performers across creative fields including language, voice, and text, as well as scholars from a range of fields in the creative arts, humanities, and social sciences. Keynote presenters: Gorkem Acaroglu (Melbourne Workers Theatre) Molly Andrews (University of East London) Larissa Behrendt (University of Technology, Sydney) Alex Kelly (Ngapartji Ngapartji, Alice Springs) Chris Meade (Institute for the Book, London/Brisbane) John Milloy (Trent University, Ontario) Conference website: www.owovm.com Conference email: [email protected] _______________________________________________ SydPhil mailing list: http://sydphil.info 945 subscribers now served.
