Subject: [YASMIN-msg] Performance Research: Transplantations<br>To: YASMIN-messages <<a href="mailto:yasmin@estia.media.uoa.gr">yasmin@estia.media.uoa.gr</a>><br><br><br><br><br>Performance Research<br><br>Volume 14, No. 4 (December 2009) 'Transplantations'<br>
<br>Issue Editors: Ric Allsopp & Phillip Warnell<br><br><br><br>CALL FOR PAPERS<br><br>'In body, one hears at the same time border and order: the order of a real, physical exteriority, only equalled by material impenetrability. A body is penetrable only from the perspective of one kind of reasoning, either that of assimilation or its opposite, destruction.' Jean-Luc Nancy<br>
<br>Notions and practices that correlate with ideas on the transplanted form encompass a range of perceptions, activities and interventions traversing the formation of bodies, their somatic dimensions and constitution. They conceive of the body as a corporeal, spatial, cultural and social being, along with thoughts on bodies as being space producers, sphere inhabitants or bio-technological interfaces. Using the term 'transplantation' itself, along with other trans related points of departure and modes of exploration - transposition, translation - this issue of Performance Research invites contributions that highlight connections and insights into the guises and zones of transplantation, providing links and ideas on the stretching, rendering and formation of the decentred, displaced, denatured or amalgamated body: whether partial, singular or plural in form. The issue Editors are seeking contributions that are situated within the thematics of each or all of three interrelated are!<br>
as:<br><br>• Guest/ host relationships; The possessed body - disguise and ventriloquism in performance; Intimate distances or the distance of intimacy; Implanted objects and technologically augmented functionality; Ingestion and extraordinary forms of eating; Psychic and physical fragmentation - the séance as a place of travel and channel: of departure, arrival, spectacle, transmission and reception between beings and worlds; Archival extraction and mobilization (including re-enactments); The psychology of phantom and detached limb behaviour (beheadedness?); The aesthetics (and representation) of embodiment and its affects [...]<br>
<br>• Historical, medical, symbolic and ritual use, storage and preservation of organic material and its associated material culture (Canopic jars, organ transporters); The symbolism and sacred role of body part removal: such as castration, removal of the tongue and eye; The camera as an external organ; Visible supplements – the consideration of auras, halos, charisma etc; Immaterial agencies and modes of contamination - radioactivity or viral forms [...]<br>
<br><br>• Spatial organisation and disputed territories (transplantation and bodily construction in horticulture and its forms, allotments, hybridisation); displacement and the ethics of place; Aloneness and placelessness; The in-between, lacunae and production of space; Post-colonial approaches to ideas and histories of plantation and the transplantation of cultures and peoples; Remote presence and shared forms of perception; Conceptual and geographic displacements of art works and institutions [...]<br>
<br>'Transplantations' invites artists, practitioners and theorists to submit proposals for critical articles (between 2,000 - 6,000 words), documents, interviews, artist's pages or other forms of contribution which position transplantation in relation to the contexts and discourses of contemporary culture, and to expanded and open concepts of performance, performance-making and artwork.<br>
