The submissions for papers are now open for the 4th RIEC Congress – Bodies, Arts, and Cultures Between Margins and Borders. Abstracts should be submitted between January 15 and March 22, 2024.
Our parallel sessions will include poster presentations (for undergraduate or graduate students), oral communications (for master’s, doctoral students, and PhD holders), and poetic acts (for artist-researchers from within or outside academia).
For all three modalities (posters, oral communications, poetic acts).
Poetic acts include: performances, scenic interventions, photographs, photoperformances, videos, videoperformances, and other formats, as long as they are compatible with the congress theme and suitable for the event’s technical capabilities.
All proposals must be submitted using the template available here, according to the desired modality. For posters and oral submissions, abstracts between 450 and 500 words in single spacing should be submitted, containing five keywords, authorship, and institutional affiliation of the authors in a footnote.
For poetic acts, synopses between 300 and 500 words should be submitted, followed by the complete technical details of the work and the necessary technical resources. The approval of works will be conditioned to the organization’s ability to meet these needs (equipment, spaces, etc.). If necessary, the organization may contact the authors to find joint solutions for specific needs.
Each work can be signed by up to three authors in the case of posters and oral communications. In the case of poetic acts, there is greater flexibility regarding the number of authors, but we recommend common sense, and presentations should not exceed 15 minutes. Each author can submit a maximum of two works in total.
In the case of photographs, videos, and videoperformances, the organization will inform the congress participants on which days and times the works will be exhibited, depending on the quantity of approved works in these formats.
After the evaluation of the submitted abstracts, authors should adapt the approved works to the publication standards of the event, so they can be published in the proceedings of the 4th RIEC Congress.
See the schedule of the stages.
