<p><span lang="EN-US">MEDIATING CITYSCAPES<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Den Haag/The Hague</span></p>
<p>27-28 September, 2013</p>
<p style="margin-left: 36pt; "><span lang="EN-US">If urban space has historically been defined by the relation between static structures and mobile subjects, this dichotomy is fast giving way to hybrid spatialities characterized by dynamic flows which not only
dissolve the fixity of traditional modes of spatial enclosure, but problematize the unified presence of the subject traversing their contours.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> Scott McGuire, <i>The Media City</i> (2008)</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">As Scott McGuire suggests, the contemporary city is marked by a number of tensions found between fixity and flow and the resulting hybrid spatialities which are shaped by a multifarious range of mediations. Historically, certain of these
mediations, such as film, photography, music, art, and more recently, mobile and locative media, have helped shape the diverse strata which compose both the material and immaterial dimensions of the contemporary city. In form, and as practices and discourses,
they have also afforded opportunities to critically engage with and creatively intervene in the city. As part of the annual arts festival Two Days Art, held in Den Haag, this interdisciplinary symposium will focus on creative and artistic responses to the
mediated cityscape. We encourage papers and submissions from academics, artists and practitioners that consider the multiple ways in which various media (film, music, photographic, digital, etc.), creative practices, and technologies put in to play a diverse
array of encounters and interfaces that engage with, interrupt, reconstitute, or resist the hybrid spatialities which define the contemporary cityscape.</span></p>
