looks really interesting.

Subject: [ACADEMIC-STUDY-MAGIC] GHost Hostings 6 & 7: call for papers/
presentations/ performance
Hello!
GHost returns in 2012 with two Hostings. The Hostings are evenings of
inter-disciplinary talks, presentations and performances exploring various
aspects of the ghostly. The Hostings are held in the "haunted" rooms at
Senate House, University of London. Here is the call for submissions for
Hostings 6 & 7, which we hope may be of interest to members of this network.
Best wishes
Sarah
GHost
Call For Papers/ Presentations/ Performance: Hostings 6 & 7
Hosting 6: "Absence – Haunted Landscapes"
Hosting 7: "Presence – Manifesting Ghosts"
GHost invites proposals for papers, presentations, or performances of 30
minutes exploring the desire and attempt to materialise what is absent via
the medium of haunted landscapes or through the manifestation of a ghost. We
would like to hear from researchers within all fields - anthropology, art
history, cultural studies, film studies, history, science, law, literary
studies, parapsychology, psychology, philosophy etc. as well as practising
artists.
The Hostings will take place in the Court Room, University of London, Senate
House between 6.30 – 9.00pm on the 29th February and 14th March.
Please send a (working) title and an abstract of approximately 300 words,
also include which Hosting you are submitting to and, if applicable, one or
two pictures.
Send these to Sarah Sparkes at: ghost.hostings@gmail.com

Deadline for submissions of proposals: 13th January 2012
Hostings 6: Absence – Haunted Landscapes
The Key Of Solomon, a medieval grimoire instructs magicians to seek out
"places that lie concealed, distant and removed from the haunts of men.
Wherefore desolate and uninhabited regions are most appropriate, such as the
borders of lakes, forests, dark and obscure places, old and deserted houses,
whither rarely and scarce ever men do come, mountains, caves, caverns,
grottos, gardens, orchards..."
Could it be that this instruction suggests a common topography of the
haunted landscape that such venues operate as amplifiers for achieving
rapport with the dead? Perhaps it is the absence of life and the nature of
our own loneliness that in fact haunts the landscape? Are places of tragedy
imbued with spirits of their victims or is this just a romantic engagement,
an imaginative association with a past event? Is it possible to use a
particular landscapes to facilitate the experience of paranormal phenomena –
in this respect can landscape serve like the séance room for the natural
channelling of the spirit of place, or the dead souls of its past? Moreover,
have artists and writers intuitively apprehended these landscapes to
manifest a haunted aesthetic?
GHost invites submissions exploring these or other ideas associated with the
Haunted Landscape.
Hostings 7: Presence – Manifesting Ghosts
"Ghost Seance has the potential to summon spirits at any given location and
time although 3:00 a.m. usually produces the best results." (Taken from a
website advertising a séance app. for smart phones)
Writers, psychical investigators, mediums, parapsychologists, illusionists,
artists all have manifested ghosts in their own way. The writers mind
conjures up ghostly apparitions, pinning down their fleeting forms with
words. In the darkened séance room both psychical investigator and audience
witness phenomena produced by the medium. Whether witnessed by believer or
sceptic, the spirit announces itself, with a common ghostly language: wraps,
moving furniture, unexplained scents, temperature changes, phosphorescent
lights etc. In more recent times visual and auditory ephemera has been
described and captured by paranormal investigators with the help of
technological devices. This new language of the ghostly reappears in the
haunted aesthetics of films such as Nigel Kneale's The Stone Tape and in the
work of contemporary artists such as Susan Hiller. When attempting to
document ghosts, is it us or the ghosts who are controlling the means by
which we describe and measure their presence?
GHost invites submissions exploring ghost-makers; their means, methods and
their reasons for manifesting ghosts.
About GHost
GHost is a visual arts and creative research project which explores the
various roles ghosts play in contemporary culture by bringing artists,
writers, curators, researchers and others together. In homage to Duchamp's
wordplay "A guest + a host = a ghost", we take on and explore the various
roles of ghosts, guests and hosts in our activities. The project has been
running since 2008 and we have organised exhibitions, performance nights and
so-called Hostings, seminar-style workshops which serve as a forum for
exchange between thinkers and makers, audience and practitioners. As a
research project, GHost blurs the boundaries between the diverse research
groups and audiences that exist for the paranormal and hosts events in which
these groups can explore their various beliefs. As a visual arts project,
GHost explores the illusionary power of art and artists to create what could
be seen as a 'haunted aesthetic'. Visual art exhibitions have been hosted by
a John Soane church in East London, at the London Art Fair and the
Folkestone Triennial Fringe while the Hostings have been held at Senate
House, University of London.
GHost has been organising Hostings in association with the IGRS, School of
Advanced Study, University of London since 2009.
