CALL FOR PAPERS
The Polish Journal of Aesthetics
On the threshold of the third decade of the twenty-first century, we wish to take a look at improvisation in contemporary art. What is the current significance of this creative method? What is the status of research on improvised art as well as on improvisation as a mode of operation in general? Has improvised art created its own distinctive forms, can it be captured by means of the categories we apply to non-improvisational art, or does it perhaps require new creative as well as new theoretical tools?
Deadline for submissions: 31 March, 2019
Please, find further information on the website of the journal.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The IKKM (Internationales Kolleg für Kulturtechnikforschung und Medienphilosophie) is organising a conference in Weimar, Germany, titled “SCHALTEN UND WALTEN– Towards Operative Ontologies”, between 23-25 October, 2019.
The conference will conclude the IKKM six-year research program “Operative Ontologies”which was structured along polar, complementary or gradual pairs of operations, which in themselves function as dualities or duplicities. Opening and closing, framing and sewing, appearing and disappearing, coupling and separating, compressing and dispersing, pointing and causing, reproduction and multiplication, or recursion and reflection were each examined as interrelated couples of ontological operations. As a continuation of this pairing method, the IKKM invites contributors to present papers on ontologically relevant pairs of operations that may or may not explore one of the examples mentioned above or others – for instance folding and unfolding, or, in a recursive manner, the operations of pairing and cleaving themselves.
Deadline for abstract submissions: 1 March, 2019.
