Modern art has had a close historical relationship with poetry and 
performance since its formation. Electronic poetry has developed a 
strong element of performance, an implicit demand for some form of 
exhibition. This series of events explores the relationship between 
the visual, the poetic and the electronic in art.

The sessions begin with a conversation in which invited speakers 
discuss issues relevant to the Collection and to electronic and 
visual poetry. This is followed by a short performance or reading of 
an electronic poem, and an open discussion. Laptop computers with 
video projection showing interactive electronic works are also placed 
within the galleries.

The speakers are theorists and practitioners in a variety of media 
and virtual curators, and include John Aiken, Malcolm Bowie, Patrick 
Burgaud, John Cayley, Penny Florence, Elizabeth James, Mark Leahy, 
Tim Mathews, Brigid McLeer, Sharon Morris and TNWK (Kirsten Lavers 
and cris cheek).

Virtual presence/practitioners/curators/theorists: Sandy Baldwin, N 
Katherine Hayles, Camille Utterback, Talan Memmott, Rita Rayley, 
David Rokeby, Alan Sondheim, Noah Wardrip-Fruin.

Organised by Penny Florence and Tim Mathews, with John Cayley.

In collaboration with The Slade School of Fine Art, SCEMFA and the 
Department of French, University College London

Subject: CFP: Animals and Society II: Considering Animals

Call for Papers

Animals and Society II: Considering Animals
3-6 July 2007
Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
http://www.cdesign.com.au/AS2007 

Following on the success of the inaugural Animals and Society 
Conference held at the University of Western Australia in 2005, the 
Animals and Society Study Group (Australia) and the University of 
Tasmania are pleased to be hosting Animals and Society II: 
Considering Animals.

The conference aims to bring together researchers from a broad range 
of academic disciplines spanning the humanities, social sciences and 
physical sciences, as well as representatives from non-government 
organisations, industry and government, to examine the relationships 
between animals and humans from social, cultural, historical, 
geographical, environmental, moral, legal and political perspectives.

The burgeoning academic field of human-animal studies is rapidly 
gaining international prominence. Considering Animals provides an 
important opportunity for researchers to share knowledge and 
experience in this exciting field and will encourage a critical 
approach to our relations with non-human animals. We see this 
conference as consolidating the field of human-animal studies in 
Australia and particularly welcome contributions from new 
disciplinary areas.

Keynote speakers: Steve Baker, Helen Tiffin, Adrian Franklin, Tim Low

Papers are invited on topics addressing human-animal relations, 
particularly those relating to one or more of the areas listed below:
- animals in human histories, humans in animal histories
- animal agency and performativity
- animals out of place, wildlife in the city
- wild, domesticated, native, introduced, companion animals
- animals at work, animals in sport
- animals and ethics, religion, politics, law
- human health, animal health, veterinary and medical science
- zoos, circuses and rodeos
- extinction, experimentation, modification, management of animals
- representations of animals in popular culture, media, literature, 
science and technology

Presentations will be 15 minutes long, with 5 minutes for discussion. 
Abstracts of up to 250 words should be submitted electronically by 
accessing the website http://www.cdesign.com.au/AS2007 and following 
the links to the Speakers Zone. Abstracts are due by 16 February 
2007. The organising committee is exploring publication options 
stemming from the conference and will provide further information 
closer to the time.
