——————————————–IVMSC 2022————————————————–
International Virtual Mirror Studies Conference (IVMSC) is organized by the Mirror studies project. The conference theme is Mirrors: an interdisciplinary approach #3.
The main topic of this conference is mirrors and interdisciplinary approach. Mirrors as objects have been important in the plenty of academic fields: arts (sculpture, pictures, photography), literature (Perseus and Medusa, fairy tales Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, children’s book Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carrol), humanities (Archimedes and his mirror during siege of Syracuse, written sources about mirrors, folk tales about mirrors), science (physical tests of lightness and waves, chemical reports of texture and materials, metallurgical or glass analysis), social sciences (mirrors as social expression or tool used in rituals, religion festivals and funerals), political sciences (mirrors as gifts, political plans of sharing and spreading mirrors), psychology (mirroring, mirrors and soul, self-reflection), psychoanalysis (Lacan and mirror phase, Jung and symbolic mirrors, Freud and mirrors), philosophy (Foucault and heterotopia, Derrida and deconstruction, Wang Minan and mirrors), popular culture (movies, comics, journalism) and archaeology (mirrors within archaeological context).
This year, we expanded conference topics into various regions (from East Asia to Mesoamerica, Africa to Europe) and time frameworks (from prehistory to contemporary history and present). For the first time, we have covered new topics such as prehistoric mirrors and Korean or ancient Greek mirrors. These themes fit our old topics dedicated to Chinese, Central Asia, Egyptian, Roman, Medieval, or Mesoamerican mirrors. In addition, our interdisciplinary approach has been reflected in various academic fields: archaeology, history, art history, anthropology, ethnology, literature, film studies, performance studies, digital humanities, pedagogy, psychology, medicine, optics, physics, etc.
As you can read, there are three types of events: scientific sessions, an art session (in the form of a roundtable and feel free to prepare questions for our distinguished speakers), and a coffee/tea lounge, a chat event between participants.
The conference will be held through Zoom. In every session, two technical assistants will help with the online issues.
We wish that the conference will be held successfully.
Looking forward to seeing you this year and preparing your abstracts for IVMSC #4 2023
