Especially, papers are welcome that deal with the question of how mediality might be related to situatedness, embodiment and interaction. Please send an abstract (300-500 words and references) and a short CV as an rtf or pdf document no later than November 30, 2009 by email to Jin Hyun Kim (jinhyun.kim@xxxxxxxx). PhD candidates’ and advanced master students’ contributions are highly recommended. For more information on students’ contributions don’t hesitate to contact Julia Wewers (julia-wewers@xxxxxxxx). Selected papers presented at the conference will be published.
