Mobile Anxieties – 3rd Annual Graduate Student Symposium in Architecture, Art History & Allied Fields
Yale School of Architecture, New Haven, Connecticut
April 11 – 12, 2008
Call for Papers (pdf)
“The Mobile Anxieties symposium will take a critical look at the idea that mobility—both literal and metaphoric—subverts the authority of boundaries, allowing for spatiotemporal shifts, which render foundations contingent and identities mutable. What are the precedents for mobility in architecture, and how are they related to a sense of general unease in architecture and beyond? How do cultural, technological, economic, and socio-political mechanisms stimulate or limit designs for mobility, while exacerbating or mitigating their attendant anxieties? Finally, we hope the symposium will open questions about the dynamics between the internal, disciplinary angst of mobile architecture and external fears.”
Interested students should send a curriculum vitae and a 300-word abstract for a 20-minute presentation to Zachary White
