---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers -- SCS 1999 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEEING TV THROUGH ARCHITECTURE / ARCHITECTURE THROUGH TELEVISION Urban environments have become familiar backdrops for TV narratives-- c.f. COPS, World's Scariest Freeway Chases, etc. But television's use of architectural cues to frame the encounter between viewer and image goes well beyond reality TV. Possible topics might inlcude: - logic of televisual spaces (real and fictitious) - significance of staging, lighting and set design - environments made possible by TV - the city in television / television in the city - spatial approaches to individual channels/genres/shows. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged. Please reply by September 1 1998, using the official SCS entry form.
