(corpo)realities
|| Advances in scientific research continue to indicate that experience and cognition are bodily mediated and, as such, depend on the sensorimotor capacities of individuals embedded in biological, psychological, and cultural contexts. In light of this newfound awareness of embodied ways of knowing, is a Cartesian split between body knowledge and conceptual processes still relevant today? How can innovations in artistic, scientific, and philosophical perspectives concerning the somatic structure our worldview in an age when technology infiltrates and organizes both the mental and physical tasks of daily life?
In recent years, a number of fields specializing in the study of differentiated bodies have emerged, and through their interventions, have sought to redefine our perception of both individual and collective (corpo)realities. We hope to host a diverse, interdisciplinary community of scholars whose research interrogates the impact of those body-based practices and principles. We seek proposals for papers, presentations, and performances that actively question the chief signifiers of embodiment and presence in art.
Proposals might address the following topics:
The program is open to submissions from all graduate students and independent scholars. We also welcome alternative, practice-as-research or performance proposals that rigorously address the theme. Facilities are available to stage performances, play readings, or demonstrations.
A $200 prize for the best essay will be awarded at the conference.
The two day-long conference runs March 22-23, and includes tickets to “At First Sight,” featuring new plays by IU’s MFA playwrights as well as a special keynote presentation by community artist, scholar, and dancer Petra Kuppers, Professor of English, Theatre & Dance, and Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan and author of ASTR’s 2011 Sally Banes Prize-winning book Disability Culture and Community Performance: Find a Strange and Twisted Shape.
Please submit a 300-word proposal and one paragraph bio to corpo.realities2013@gmail.com by Jan 21, 2013. Presenters will be notified of their acceptance by Jan 25.

WE LIVE WITHIN AN UNSTABLE LANDSCAPE
This is a social networking website connecting people concerned about innovation and experimentation on art, dance, embodiment, cognition, science, networks, post-humanism, media and the unstable landscape of contemporary culture and life.
We are in a transitional phase and refocusing the network with a broader interdisciplinary framework. It will reflect a contemporary community interacting and embedded unstablelandscape.
This network is maintained and administrated by Marlon Barrios Solano as an independent art/curatorial/social innovation project.
