Memory, film and photography .Theorising Chris Marker’s “La Jetée” . Image and trauma . Similarities in photography and film genre . Photography, film and dream . The role of sound track in cinema . Visions of space . Science fiction Please submit a 300 words abstract to the adresses given above, as well as a brief bio, by September 30th. Panelists will be informed whether they have been accepted or rejected. If accepted a deadline to make an inscription and pay the conference fee (45 Euros) will be set. The conference is being promoted by Centro de Estudos de Comunicação e Linguagens (CECL) and Instituto de História de Arte (IHA) and will be held at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas. A selection of papers will be organized afterwards in a special edition by a british scholar editor.
