CALL FOR PAPERS: Expanded Practices: Writing, Pedagogy, and Creative Arts

02-Sep-2024

Writing has always been one step in the future. From emojis to slang to song, writing has momentum, and it is up to us - as artists, researchers and educators - to find ways of moving with it. In the light of emerging concerns about technology’s cultural impact, and the changing relevance of traditional writing techniques, how might our practices and pedagogies adapt to this shifting interdisciplinarity? What might this look like in contexts where writing exists alongside other forms of artistic communication, such as classrooms, institutions and interdisciplinary practices? How do preexisting notions of art and writing change as technologies and platforms demand new forms of engagement? For educators, how does the protean nature of writing influence our conception of originality? How might this impact our approach to core scholarly techniques, such as citing sources, designing syllabi, and producing research? How (and why) do we engage creative arts students in practice-based streams that develop writing skills?

Airea is a peer-reviewed, open-access, interdisciplinary journal operating at the nexus of intersections between inter, trans, and multi disciplinary artistic practices and research. It intends to map interdisciplinary territories between forms of contemporary art and technology, with particular focus on the way artistic methodologies, aesthetics and vocabularies are shifting in response to developing digital practices. Initially conceived to publish the proceedings of sIREN's (Interdisciplinary Research Network) Arts and Digital Practices conference in 2017, this journal acts as a channel of communication between artists and practices; concepts and tools. In doing so, we hope to more firmly embed a critical framework of interdisciplinary research into contemporary arts discourse. Airea welcomes contributions responding to our calls for submissions and publishes special issues to accommodate materials from the activities of sIREN and RAFT research networks of Edinburgh College of Art.
