Call For Papers for the Scenography Working Group of IFTR/FIRT 2013

Re-Routing Performance / Re-caminant l’escena
IFTR/FIRT International Federation for Theatre Research
Annual Conference Barcelona 2013, SPAIN
22nd – 26th July, 2013

Inspired by the complex rhizome of fluid paths and unequal encounters that
have shaped the local cultures of the Mediterranean, 2013 FIRT/IFTR wants to
consider the routes of performance. The conference’s theme,
“re-routing performance”, seeks to provide a forum where the ideas of
process, journey, and ongoing redefinition take particular precedence.  The
conference theme invites us to explore the journeys of theatrical forms and
conventions in a variety of historical periods, geographical regions, and
cultural communities. Likewise, it encourages us to consider the different
paths for creative practice and audience reception. It also calls for a
reflection on the changing perspectives regarding theatrical performance,
even with respect to defining the very limits of our field. Thus, the routes
and journeys that we seek to explore are not only geographical, historical,
or sociopolitical, but also creative, intellectual, methodological, and
philosophical.

We encourage you visit the conference website for further information on
suggested themes and topics http://www.firt2013barcelona.org/theme/  .
(excerpt from the official conference website)

The Scenography Working Group (SWG) is seeking proposals that will respond
to the conference theme,Re-routing Performance, from a perspective that
specifically addresses scenography in all performing arts (including dance,
film, puppet and object theatre, performance art, etc.). We are particularly
interested in papers and presentational material that will engage with one
or more of the following foci:

-Scenographic practice: sources, stimuli, fusion, development,
diversification, departure and disintegration
-Paths of transmission in practice and training: from historical and
contemporary viewpoints, in analog and digital communities
-Scenographic conventions and their development, transformation and
appropriation into new realities
-Routes of Performance: Scenography on the road in theatrical presentation,
touristic performance, paratheatrical events, public entertainments, and
migrations or persons and peoples
-Mapping knowledges with scenographic gestures: exhibit design in museums,
galleries, and salons
-Commercial and Corporate Scenographies: theatrical design at the
intersections of economic exchange

These themes are intended as a guide. Proposals need not be limited to these
suggested areas. Contact the conveners of the SWG for further information.

2013.

We will also be proposing a panel from the SWG to the main conference
