Non-members are welcome to submit papers, but must join the society before an accepted paper can be published. (Membership details available at animationstudies.org).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">All papers are subject to peer review and presentation; acceptance of a paper at a conference is not a guarantee of publication. If a paper is accepted for a conference but not presented it can still be considered, subject to agreement by the editorial board.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Papers will be blind refereed where possible and comments collated and returned to the author by the editor.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">The journal editions run on an annual basis with papers accepted throughout the year but the volume closed on calendar year end. In order to simplify the refereeing and submission, papers will be accepted at deadlines throughout the year. We invite authors to submit papers in spring and late summer/early autumn.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">We strongly encourage the submission of past papers in order to establish a useful archive of work which members can access. We also encourage the submission of links to other publications or bibliographic citations where conference papers have been published elsewhere.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Papers are not limited to word length, though it is expected that the paper will not exceed that of the presentation, or a reasonable approximation of it. Authors may edit their conference presentations, but the text must provide a reasonable representation of the material presented at the conference.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Images are welcomed but authors must seek permissions to reproduce them in the journal. Rights owners must be identified in the caption, in the manner specified by the rights owner in a release form signed by that individual. Articles are published under Creative Commons regulations, which allows the author to retain copyright but allows free distribution of the work for educational purposes. Creative Commons is in line with progressive online publishing practices.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">The Harvard Referencing system will be used. All papers should be submitted in Microsoft Word document files (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf). Please submit images in low resolution, web-ready formats.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Email your essay, including a cover page stating your name, your institutional affiliation (now and at the time of the paper presentation), the name of the paper, the conference at which it was published, the date of presentation (or conference dates), four to seven keywords pertaining to the article, a one- to two-sentence blurb, and any significant information related to the editing of the paper. Please also provide contact information suitable for publication with the paper.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Deadline for papers is </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;">Thursday 19th August</span><span style="font-family: arial;">. Submit all proposals to Dr Nichola Dobson, Editor at journal@animationstudies.org or nichola_dobson@yahoo.co.uk</span><br /><br /><a href="http://animationstudies.org"><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">http://animationstudies.org</span></a><br /><a href="http://journal.animationstudies.org"><span style="font-family: arial;">http://journal.animationstudies.org</span></a>Nicholahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671071665592352445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2554652879681935727.post-2478849060149097452010-07-06T12:12:00.003+01:002010-07-06T12:15:40.581+01:00BooksellerAnother quick update to inform delegates that there will be a bookstall by Blackwell's at the conference over the weekend.<br /><br />They will be bringing a range of books to buy and you can browse their website <a href="http://bookshop.blackwell.co.uk/jsp/editorial/shops/index.jsp?selectShop=editorial%2Fshops%2FSHOP21.jsp">here</a>.Nicholahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671071665592352445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2554652879681935727.post-6963751877367005832010-07-05T20:35:00.002+01:002010-07-05T20:38:34.128+01:00Edinburgh Weather<span style="font-family: arial;">Just a quick update on the weather.

We've put together a live Google map showing recommended bars, restaurants, cafes, and coffee shops around Edinburgh College of Art. We've tried to pick locally run establishments where possible and also places that we think delegates will enjoy, including pubs with good selections of real ales, and whiskys.<br /><br />Obviously there's no getting away from chains - so if you're desperate for a fix of Starbucks for some reason you won't have to look too hard. Edinburgh likes its bars, so most of them also serve food. Check out the descriptions in the larger map for a few more details, such as the great selection of food from our friends at the Filmhouse cafe bar.<br /><br /><iframe marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=105548822196233452405.00048a17fee80491723e1&ll=55.947517,-3.185238&spn=0.015668,0.049905&output=embed" width="600" frameborder="0" height="600" scrolling="no"></iframe><br /><small>View <a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=105548822196233452405.00048a17fee80491723e1&ll=55.947517,-3.185238&spn=0.015668,0.049905&source=embed" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); text-align: left;">Animation Evolution 2010 - Food,Drink & Sights</a> in a larger map</small><br /><br />The map also shows some sights that attendees may like to visit (not during conference hours, obviously). Some of these are near ECA, like the Grassmarket and Royal Mile, while others require a bit more effort, such as climbing to the top of Arthur's Seat or Calton Hill.

At the moment bus stops 15 and 16 above are currently not in use, and services are diverted along Waverley Bridge adjacent to Waverley Train Station and the Air Link terminal. However, by the time of the conference it is expected that the bus routes will have returned to normal.<br /><br />+ Lothian Buses Number 35 runs direct from Edinburgh Airport to Edinburgh College or Art. The 35 is a normal city bus that departs every 15 minutes, takes approximately 50 minutes, and has limited luggage space, Attendees may prefer to travel on the Air Link bus, which has departures from the airport to the city centre every 10 minutes and takes about 30 minutes to travel to the city centre. Combined travel time is similar for both options.<br /><br />Map image © OpenStreetMap contributors, CC-BY-SA.

The selection represents the range of talent and production facilities that have been nurtured in Scotland over many years. Featuring short films, TV commissions, advertising and the avant-garde, these short subjects will make you laugh, cry, reflect, cheer, applaud and if you happen to hail from Scotland, they will also make you proud. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">In short, this screening has something for everyone to enjoy and celebrates everything that the animation sector in Scotland has to offer. This special compilation of films is to be shown at Edinburgh’s Filmhouse. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">The screening will be followed by a drinks reception at The One Below, The Rutland Hotel, just a few minutes walk away. The reception from 19.00-21.00 is sponsored by Scottish Development International and will give delegates the chance to chat to some of the filmmakers in a relaxed setting.</span>Nicholahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671071665592352445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2554652879681935727.post-30968500477499846632010-06-16T11:17:00.003+01:002010-06-18T08:39:40.469+01:00Information for Speakers<span style="font-family:arial;">Though you are welcome to bring your own laptops there will be PCs supplied for your presentation, which you can bring on CD/DVD or USB stick.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">If you are using powerpoint or similar, where possible please email your presentation to the conference chair in advance (by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Monday 5th July</span> at the latest); if doing so please also bring backups on USB/disc.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">All presenters note that while we will do our utmost to meet AV needs, we cannot guarantee the equipment so please have a backup plan for your paper presentation.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The technical specs for the rooms are as follows:</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" ><br /><br />Lecture Theatre:</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">PC, with office 2007 (powerpoint etc), Internet access (on ECA PC), leads for own laptop, Mac connectors, data projector, powered speakers, Region 2 DVD player, Pal VHS player, Europe region Bluray player.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" ><br /><br />J05:</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Laptop (PC) with office 2007, mac/laptop connectors, powered speakers, Internet access (on ECA PC), data projector</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" ><br /><br />Board Room:</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Laptop (PC) with office 2007, mac/laptop connectors, powered speakers, Internet access (on ECA PC), data projector</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">(DVD players can be provided for J05 and Board Room but we must know in advance)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">All rooms will be made available 15 minutes prior to your session; please use this time to set up and test any equipment, in order to avoid any delays in session times.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">Please note that as the conference schedule is so busy we will be trying to keep to time as strictly as possible. </span>Nicholahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671071665592352445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2554652879681935727.post-12327582001872785072010-06-15T17:17:00.002+01:002010-06-15T17:20:07.957+01:00Convergence Panel<span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Saturday 10th July<br />11 - 12.30 (lecture theatre)</span><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">Animation is facing new opportunities and challenges in a number of areas including technology, education, exhibition and industrial changes. The nature of animation is questioned as live action increasingly embraces CG while the games industry is often at the forefront of digital animation techniques. With all of this in mind this panel will examine the nature of convergence of the animation industry with games, discuss new avenues of exhibition while querying the challenges of traditional broadcasting, and discuss the impact of these changes on the next generation of animators.

This is not the first time that animated figures have been cited as a way of thinking about sporting practices, ranging inevitably from critiques predicated on ‘cartoon’ humour through to acknowledgements of the relationship between animated choreographies and the lyrical beauty of sporting activity.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Perhaps more importantly, and less recognised is that sport has been intrinsically bound up with animation right from its outset. Arguably, Arthur Melbourne Cooper’s animated matches playing volleyball and cricket in films made in 1896 are the first extant animated films per se, and inaugurate a history of sporting animation which plays itself out, for example, through British topical cartoons, Goofy’s sporting response to the radicalism of Warner Bros’ and MGM shorts, Anime’s preoccupation with baseball and sci-fi, arthouse engagements with sport and memory, and the gender-sensitive sporting representations in global advertising.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">This paper will address this history, seeking to determine how execution and expression in animation and sport come together, and may be theorised by seeking out the fundamentals and fascinations of ‘the sporting animus’, and how this in turn may provide tools by which to articulate why animation and sport are so similar, attractive, intense and emotionally provocative. </span>Nicholahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671071665592352445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2554652879681935727.post-32088120312660645092010-06-09T16:33:00.003+01:002010-06-09T16:37:09.654+01:00Bus Deals<span style="font-family: arial;">An update to the travel information has been added.

The panel will discuss the extent to which McLaren’s name is known and promoted in his homeland within the industry and in education. The NFB rightly hails his contribution to their success but does Scotland? Does his work still inspire new animators?

His films<span style="font-style: italic;"> The Prisoner</span> (1983) and <span style="font-style: italic;">Ulys</span> (2000), adaptations of Yeats’<span style="font-style: italic;"> The Lake Isle of Inisfree</span> and Joyce’s <span style="font-style: italic;">Ulysses</span> respectively, mark moments of rupture in Irish culture and identity, and through a use of the plasmatic animated image, describe both the animated text’s relationship to literary sources and the contingent nature of language, history and identity itself. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Biographical Statement: </span>Thomas Walsh graduated from the Diploma in Animation Production Course at Ballyfermot Senior College in 1994, and worked as a Special Effects artist for Screen Animation Ireland on the feature productions <span style="font-style: italic;">The Pebble and the Penguin </span>(1994) and <span style="font-style: italic;">All Dogs go to Heaven II </span>(1995), and afterwards for the Walt Disney Feature Animation Studio on The <span style="font-style: italic;">Hunchback of Notre Dame</span> (1996), <span style="font-style: italic;">Hercules</span> (1997) and <span style="font-style: italic;">Tarzan</span> (1999). He has recently completed a PhD on the relationship between a contemporary Irish animation industry and postcolonialism at Loughborough University School of Art and Design, and has contributed an article on special effects animation in Paul Wells’ book Fundamentals of Animation (2006). Ongoing research creates critical linkages between animation practice and formations of national and personal identity arising from postcolonial studies. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">He is currently a Senior Lecturer on the BA (Hons) Animation degree course at the Arts University College at Bournemouth in the UK. </span>Nicholahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671071665592352445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2554652879681935727.post-53650799202430430152010-04-22T14:45:00.003+01:002010-07-06T16:30:46.471+01:00Rokhsareh Ghaem-Maghami<span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Mutually Inclusive: an investigation into the history of animation-documentary interaction in Iran</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><br />(preconstituted panel: Animating Iran: History, identity and the socially-motivated animation)<br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Abstract</span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3_ZFoQHJn3OX669X5AOjPlFVrxKKAbQxYqviimEoRn9QP_AffZFze0vJn2kz5z1Tji64h9ZatbCv5rVe2FWTQbdALKJV-ZHo6gMM8qJ1Gx1P_8YkC_rg_6IVSAb37Z-K52iPYnH5t4Io/s1600/roksareg-ghaemmaghami.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 118px; height: 167px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3_ZFoQHJn3OX669X5AOjPlFVrxKKAbQxYqviimEoRn9QP_AffZFze0vJn2kz5z1Tji64h9ZatbCv5rVe2FWTQbdALKJV-ZHo6gMM8qJ1Gx1P_8YkC_rg_6IVSAb37Z-K52iPYnH5t4Io/s200/roksareg-ghaemmaghami.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462958318193501874" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">:</span> Rokhsareh will be presenting a paper on the history of uses and interactions between the documentary and animation medium in Iran, focusing on some early examples of animated documentary.

I would like to explore the notion that animation spectatorship relies on the human desire to anthropomorphise in order to create an emotional connection or attachment between the viewing human and the viewed object.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /><br />Biographical statement: </span></span><span style="font-family:arial;">Arriving late to the medium of animation, Caroline Parsons worked in the industry through the 1990’s as a freelance compositor, at a time when digital non-linear editing technology was rapidly expanding to become a dominant mode of production.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">She joined Newport School of Art, Media and Design in 1998 and became the co-ordinator of the undergraduate programme. In this role, she has worked tirelessly to establish the programme as a leading animation education provider, and these efforts were rewarded in 2006 when the programme was given Skillset accreditation. She has since then taken on the co-ordination of the MA Animation programme. Two years into a Ph.D, her research interests centre around the impact of new technology on film spectatorship. Photorealistic digitally created or enhanced bodies, for example, mean that the viewer is no longer able to differentiate between Live action and Cartoon, between the real and the imaginary. </span>Nicholahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671071665592352445noreply@blogger.com
