Call for Chapter Proposals - International Handbook of Heritage & Affect: Immersive Technologies
heidi boisvert
Hi all,
I’d like to invite you to submit a chapter proposal to The International Handbook of Heritage and Affect: Designing and Experiencing Places of Heritage (invited by Routledge). I will be editing Section 3, Immersive Technologies (https://aalab.org/cfp/#section-3) and welcome any contributions from our community.
Details below:
The International Handbook of Heritage and Affect engages the affective, visceral, more-than-representational, and atmospheric of our heritage landscape. This volume offers a collective exploration of heritage environments through their affective and emotional lifeworlds. Chapters may engage themes such as: performativity and negotiations of affect, embodiment, and subjectivity in heritage environments; emotionally-transformative curation at sites of difficult heritage; immersive technologies of affectious storytelling and place-making; new methodological advancements, as well as ethical dilemmas of evocative heritage design on contemporary publics. What, for instance, is the relationship between heritage architectures, affect and emotion, in fostering contemporary relationships to past events, peoples, and places long past? Chapter contributions will negotiate the emotionally immersive experiences of our heritage environments, or how “affective heritage” is experienced, felt, and mediated by and through the bodies that patron them (Micieli-Voutsinas 2017).
