CFP: Virtual Reality in Real Life 2006 (Online Conference) | Kairosnews
VR@RL seeks participants interested in investigating the intersection of rhetoric and new media. The conference seeks to provide a forum for scholars working in this emerging area of inquiry, to address common problems in research and teaching, and to uncover fruitful points of connection. Fundamentally, the conference will address new media as it exists now and as it is emerging as an embodied, material concern.
Topics might include:
* new media in technical and professional writing programs
* new media in first-year composition
* the rhetoric of blogging and podcasting
* the impact of technology on theories of writing
* rhetoric and composition’s disciplinary future in new media
* new cultural practices and communities related to new media
* copyright and intellectual property
We are particularly interested in presentations that will make use of new media formats including screencasts, video, audio, and, of course, hypertext.
