Meeting Description:

We are happy to announce that BreMM19, the 4th Bremen Conference on
Multimodality, will be held at Bremen University from September 25-27, 2019.
 
The upcoming 4th Bremen Conference on Multimodality, BreMM19, puts empirical
inroads into multimodal research centre stage. That is, it focuses on the
study of multimodal artefacts and performances through investigating (larger
collections of) actual data. It seeks to further the empirical validation and
evaluation of both widely established and new hypotheses and theories about
multimodal meaning-making. Such novel approaches have been in the focus of
vivid discussions and have often become complex subjects of inquiry in their
own right. 


Call for Papers:

Please see website for full version of this Call for Papers.

As with previous BreMM conferences, we view BreMM19 as an essentially
interdisciplinary endeavor. Therefore, we call for papers from scholars of all
disciplines doing empirical analyses of multimodal artefacts and performances.
We particularly invite cooperative research projects that involve several
disciplines and expertise from various fields, in search of novel mixed-method
approaches.
 
Proposals may address the following questions:

- What are the relevant practices and latest tools for multimodal corpus
design?
- What will be the particular challenges for empirical work raised when we
consider an ever broader range of multimodal phenomena? 
- How are multimodal corpora then to be conceptualized, and how do various
definitions of ‘mode’ affect corpus design? What are multimodal corpora?
- How can new corpus methods and research practices be tailored to support
multimodal work?
- What are the most common disciplinary sources and theoretical starting
points for large-scale, corpus-based multimodal research projects?
- How may empirical multimodal research intersect with or strengthen endeavors
in the humanities and social sciences? What are the complementarities, limits,
and opportunities? 
- Can multimodal corpus research be acquired in disciplines not traditionally
aligned with it? What examples are there of successful applications of corpus
methods in non-traditional academic environments (e.g., design, marketing,
advertising, investigative journalism)? 
- How can we make multimodal methods accessible and usable to the wider
academic and professional public? How do we create multimodal awareness with
empirical methods?

Guidelines for Submission:

We invite proposals for three kinds of presentation:
 
Long paper. This consists of a 25-minute presentation followed by 15 minutes
of Q&A. This format is reserved for well-developed projects that present
potentially controversial or conceptually complex ideas and results of
empirical studies.
 
Short paper. This consists of a 15-minute presentation followed by 10 minutes
of Q&A. This format is suitable for work in progress or ideas for empirical
studies that can be presented more succinctly.
 
Poster Presentation or Demo. This may be any form of empirical research
display or demonstration. Presenters will have the opportunity to present and
discuss their work during a 90-minute poster presentation session.
 
Your proposal (350-500 words in length) must include: (1) title of the
presentation, (2) name of the  author(s), affiliation, email address, (3)
proposal format (long paper, short paper or poster), (4) bibliography of key
sources (up to 5), (5) brief biographical statement for presenting author
(25-100 words).
 
Submission:

Please submit your proposal as an e-mail attachment (Word, PDF) by December 5,
2018, to bremm19 at uni-bremen.de.
