  • International Panorama Council Conference 2025, Lisbon: Deadline extended to February 10

    2025-01-29

    bannersPANORAMA_2025callforpapers_V2-03.jpgIJSIM’s publisher, Early Visual Media Lab — CICANT, from Lusofona University, together with the International Panorama Council and the Art History Institute (IHA, NOVA-FCSH/IN2PAST) invite scholars, artists, panorama enthusiasts and visual media researchers to submit proposals for presentations that explore the theme “The World at a Glance. Panoramic and Peep Technologies.’” This recasting of Robert Barker’s original title for his invention (1787), “Nature at a Glance” (in French, “La Nature à Coup d’ Oeil”), will explore the modern desire to experience the world visually through panoramic or peep technologies and to embark in virtual travels. Panoramas and panoramic imagery shared these early immersive experiences with (itinerant) peepshows, cosmoramas, neoramas, dioramas, and, among others, in the domestic space, zograscopes, stereoscopic photography, graphoscopes and polyoramas. These theatres of visuality were key achievements in art, education and science, fostering visual curiosity and new skills of looking. Either engaging a distant or a proximate gaze, requiring lenses or a specific vantage point on a viewing platform, these technologies made the world in all its aspects admirable and available at a glance. In addition to challenging the visual sensorium, panoramic and peep technologies often intersected and mobilized a synesthesic universe. By exploring their coexistence and intermediality, new light will be shed on the visual cultures and worldviews they promoted. 

    We welcome proposals for field reports, creative presentations, media presentations, and scholarly papers of up to 20 minutes in length that focus on panoramic or/and peep technologies, their specificities, intermedialities, socio-cultural and political roles, as well as their current digital and virtual cultures, and their conservation, display and mediation challenges.    

    Proposals must be in Microsoft Word (.docx) format and include: 

    • Title of the presentation
    • Author’s name, affiliation, complete mailing address and email 
    • 300-word abstract 
    • Author’s biography (150–200 words)
    • 3–5 Keywords 

    The final conference program with abstracts and keywords will be published in the “Conference Report” section of the Panoramic and Immersive Media Studies (PIMS) Yearbook, Volume 3, 2025. Presenters will also have the opportunity to contribute full-length works for publication consideration in other sections of the PIMS Yearbook. Learn more by exploring the past call for proposals, PIMS Yearbook Call for Proposals, Volume 2, 2025, and the De Gruyter page for the PIMS Yearbook, Volume 1, 2024.
