CAA News
Encouraged by the warm climate and the postmodern architecture in Los Angeles, conference organizers have recently decided that the 2010 CAA annual conference will be in Dubai, and they’re are already hard at work at next year’s sessions. Here are some samples of panels that have already been accepted:
The Merleau-Ponty effect in high modernism: Greenberg and Fried’s secret love affair with phenomenology in the underground café culture of 1950s Manhattan. (or, “Was that really Clement Greenberg in that photo of a Happening at the Franklin Furnace?”)
A Paradigmatic Paradigm shift; from Diderot to Baudrillard and back again in seconds on Second Life (this panel will be presented as a webcast only, streaming live from the book fair)
Hands off my object fetish: touching the curve, stroking the brush, and redefining the tactile in the realm of supraphysicality.
Dismantling Discursivity in the 21st Century: Sanctioning the myopia of an iconographic taxonomy of signs and analogons (signalagons) in pictorial representation.
Impacted Colon: The Role of Paper Titles in Signaling Political Affiliation, Disciplinary Adherence, and Career Aspiration.
Untouching Site/Sight: privileging smell, dissembling the somatic, and recannonizing the metasenses.
