The link to the NAME website that I sent in my last note to the ISEN-ASTC
listserv seems to be broken, so many of you may have tried unsuccessfully to
find out more about our Call for Papers on Museums and New Media. While we
are fixing the link, here is the full text of the Call for Papers. Look
forward to your submissions. Gretchen Jennings, Editor, Exhibitionist - the
NAME journal
Call for papers for Fall 2013 Exhibitionist, the journal of the National
Association for Museum Exhibition. To view back issues of Exhibitionist go
to the NAME website at www.name-aam.org
Issue Theme: Museums and New Media: What's Disappearing? What's Evolving?
What's to Come?
In this issue we hope to examine the impact of new media on museums, with a
particular focus on exhibitions.
* How are new digital technology and media affecting the care and
management of collections-- living or non-living-on which exhibitions are
based? Are once standard practices and procedures for collections care and
management, for exhibition development and interpretation disappearing-no
longer valued or needed? What is the impact of this development?
* How are new media shaping the ways in which exhibitions are
conceived, designed and developed, interpreted, accessed, or assessed? What
about the impact on visitors and their participation and engagement with
exhibition?
* What's way out there on the cutting edge for exhibitions in the
future?
Proposals need not be limited to just these issues, and can include
research, essays, and case studies that analyze/comment on/critique the
impact of new technology and media on museums of all types and disciplines,
and the exhibitions they produce. As much as possible, if a case study or
research project is submitted, the article should not focus on a single
project or museum without raising questions or throwing light on larger
issues that are widely applicable. Proposals from colleagues around the
world are welcome.
Deadlines
Proposal deadline: April 12, 2013. 250 word maximum. Briefly describe your
article; how it relates to issue theme; your background/qualifications for
writing the article. Proposals will be vetted by our editorial advisory
board, and you will be notified of acceptance or non-acceptance within
several weeks. A style sheet will be sent to you when your proposal is
accepted.
First draft deadline: June 21, 2013. 2000 word maximum. Your article
will be returned by early-mid July with comments and edits by editorial
advisors and editor.
Final article deadline: August 9, 2013. Final article due with four or five
images, credits, and captions.
