Call for Papers | Journal of Creative Practice | Research Cries from the Anthropocene

June 15, 2025Call for Papers

Cries from the Anthropocene: How might we respond? According to the Macquarie Dictionary, to cry is to “utter inarticulate sounds, esp. of lamentation, grief, or suffering; usu. with tears.” To cry is also “to give forth vocal sounds or characteristic calls, as animals.” A further meaning is “to call out”. This theme follows from previous research themes, “Listening to the Anthropocene” and “Crevice Communities”. The first was a process of tuning in to the human and more-than-human environment; the second, affected by pandemic and lockdowns, examined smallness and extreme locality as a productive space. The Anthropocene, the era in which the […]

Call for Papers | After Post Photography Conference | Yerevan, Armenia, November 2025

May 16, 2025Call for Papers

After Post-Photography 10: What is photography becoming? Yerevan (Armenia), 5-8 November 2025 Yerevan Center for International Education Hamlet’s observation that the world is out of joint has been quoted so often that it became a truism long ago. Although the phrase thus may appear to be hollowed out by overuse, it still holds a morsel worthy of reflection: a world out of joint is not a world in chaos. Its pieces – people, society, economy, ecology – remain, but the fabric holding them together is weak, crumbling, torn. A similar observation can be made concerning photography. Its pieces – image, […]

CALL FOR PAPERS │Perspective, no. 2026 – 1 : Learning/Teaching │ Deadline 10 February

January 20, 2025Call for Papers

Perspective will explore, in its 2026 – 1 issue, co-edited by Thomas Golsenne (INHA), Déborah Laks (CNRS) et Guy Lambert (École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Paris-Belleville) to the question Learning/Teaching. Does one learn to become an artist? This question, which traverses the history of contemporary art, has never been resolved. It reflects – and confronts – aesthetic, philosophical, cultural and perhaps even religious concepts. From the standpoint of art history, however, the answer can only be positive, given that artistic production is largely a matter of artist-to-artist legacies and transmissions, whether on a daily basis in the studio and the closed circuit of the school or through the study of […]
