GAM.12 — CALL FOR PAPERS Structural Affairs
Bauwerke entstehen in einer Synthese von Leistungen verschiedener am Planen und Bauen beteiligter Akteure. Ihre Zusammenarbeit ist für die Qualität des Ergebnisses maßgeblich. Innovative und nterdisziplinäre Formen des Zusammenspiels entwickeln sich vor allem auf dem Feld des Structural Design. GAM.12 widmet sich daher dem Tragwerksentwurf, welcher ein elementarer, integraler und ormgebender Bestandteil der Architektur ist und gleichzeitig Potential für höchst kreative Entwicklungen bietet. Aktuelle Tendenzen und einschneidende Veränderungen stellen dabei die Akteure vor neue Aufgaben:
Stetige Softwareinnovationen und leistungsfähigere Programme beeinflussen sowohl Entwurf als auch Ausführungsplanung und Fertigung. Die Integration von Entwurf, Planung und Fabrikation auf ein und derselben Plattform ermöglicht beispielsweise, dass die einzelnen Planungsschritte der Architekturpraxis interaktiv und kollaborativ bearbeitet werden können. Durch konsequente Anwendung dieser digitalen Hilfsmittel ist es außerdem möglich, sehr große und komplexe Datenmengen zielführend zu analysieren und zu kontrollieren, sowie als Grundlage für planerische Entscheidungen zu verwenden. Darüber hinaus erfordern die Erweiterung der für Baukonstruktionen üblichen Materialien durch innovative Materialhybride oder dazugehörige Verbindungstechniken ebenfalls neue Formen der Zusammenarbeit aller beteiligten Planer. Carbonbeton, lastabtragende Strukturen aus Keramik oder glasfaserverstärktem Kunststoff sowie die konsequente Nutzung der Klebetechnik sind nur kleine Auszüge aus einem avancierten Entwicklungsfeld der Architektur- und Ingenieurwissenschaften, das eine hohe Interdisziplinarität erfordert. Synergetische Wirkung haben auch neue Errungenschaften in der Fertigungstechnik und Logistik, bei denen der Input unterschiedlicher Fachrichtungen erforderlich ist, um die ganze Effizienz digitaler Fertigungsmethoden auszuschöpfen. Gegenwärtig lässt sich beobachten, dass Gesichtspunkte der Fertigung in einem immer früheren Stadium in Entwurfsprozesse Eingang finden können und damit sinnvolle und baubare Planungslösungen entstehen.
Mitwirkende in Forschungs-, Planungs- und Bauprozessen ziehen unterschiedliche Konsequenzen aus den beschriebenen Veränderungen. An diesem Punkt setzt die neue Ausgabe von GAM an und fragt nach den kreativen Maßnahmen und Lösungen einzelner Akteure, die diesen grundlegenden Wandel des architektonischen Berufsfelds tragen, erfahren und weiterentwickeln. Welche Transformationen enthalten das größte Veränderungspotential? Welche Szenarien ergeben sich aus diesem Wandel für die Architekturentwicklung? Bemerkenswerterweise gibt es auf diesem Feld der vernetzten Planungsprozesse von Ingenieuren, Architekten und der Bauindustrie derzeit wenig Raum für eine Reflexion der aktuellen Veränderungen, sowie für eine Diskussion über die Folgen, Konsequenzen und Möglichkeiten dieser Entwicklungen. GAM.12 widmet sich daher in Praxis und Forschung den Zukunftsszenarien, Strategien und Projekten, die sich aus der neuen Zusammenarbeit von Architekten, Tragwerksplanern und ausführenden Firmen ergeben. GAM.12 wirft Fragen nach neuen Formen und Entwicklungszielen der Zusammenarbeit auf, stellt interdisziplinäre Experimente und Herstellungsverfahren vor und diskutiert die Innovationschancen. GAM.12 hält schließlich auch Fragen nach der Angemessenheit von technischen Möglichkeiten oder den offenen Potentialen des Leichtbaus für hochaktuell, um die erwünschten Ziele dieser Weiterentwicklung der Architekturpraxis zunächst einmal architektonisch zu definieren.
GAM lädt Sie ein, ein Abstract (max. 500 Wörter) zum Thema „Structural Affairs“ sowie eine Kurzbiographie bis zum 11. Mai 2015 an gam@tugraz.at einzureichen und freut sich auf Vorschläge aus den Bereichen Ingenieurwissenschaft und Tragwerksplanung, Architekturentwurf und –theorie, Kulturwissenschaften und Technikforschung. Der Abgabetermin für den finalen Beitrag ist der 31. August 2015.

GAM.12 — CALL FOR PAPERS Structural Affairs
Architectural structures are created through a synthesis of services rendered by the various players involved in planning and building. Their collaboration is essential for the quality of the result. Innovative and interdisciplinary forms of interaction evolve in the field of structural design in particular. GAM.12 is thus dedicated to such structural design, which is an elementary, integral, and formative facet of architecture, while simultaneously offering the potential for highly creative developments. Due to current tendencies and profound changes, those involved in this context are presented with new challenges.
A steady stream of software innovations and more efficient programs impact not only design but also implementation planning and production. The integration of design, planning, and fabrication into one and the same platform for instance enables the individual planning steps within architectural practice to be interactively and collaboratively carried out. Thanks to the consistent application of these digital tools, it is moreover possible to analyze and control very large and complex amounts of data in an expedient way, and also to use this data as a foundation for making planning-related decisions. What is more, the upgrading of the materials commonly used in structural design to include innovative hybrids or related joining techniques likewise necessitates new forms of collaboration among all involved design parties. Carbon concrete, load-bearing structures made of ceramics, or fiberglass-reinforced plastic, as well as the systematic use of adhesive technology, are just a few examples cited from the advanced developmental segment within the fields of architecture and engineering that demand high interdisciplinarity. New innovations in production engineering and logistics have a synergetic effect, demonstrating a need for receiving input from various specializations in order to take full advantage of the efficiency of digital production methods. It is obvious at present that aspects of production can increasingly be incorporated into earlier stages of the design process, which facilitates the related development of useful and technically feasible planning solutions.
Contributors to research, planning, and building processes each draw different conclusions from the changes touched upon above. It is here that the new issue of GAM starts exploring the creative measures and solutions adopted by the individual players who bear, experience, and further elaborate this fundamental shift in the architectural profession. Which transformations embody the greatest potential for change? Which scenarios evolve from this shift in terms of architectural development? Remarkably, in this realm of networked planning processes used by engineers, architects, and others in the building industry, there is presently little room for reflecting on the current changes, or for discussing the ramifications, consequences, and potentialities of these developments. GAM.12 is thus focused on practice and research in the strategies, projects, and future scenarios that evolve through new cooperative relationships between architects, structural engineers, and the contracting companies. GAM.12 fields questions about new collaborative forms and development objectives, introduces interdisciplinary experiments and production methods, and discusses opportunities for innovation. Finally, also highly topical in the view of GAM.12 are issues that deal with the suitability of technical possibilities or the untapped potential of lightweight construction, with the aim of soon being able to define through architecture the desired goals of this progression in architectural practice.
GAM invites you to submit an abstract (max. 500 words) on the topic “Structural Affairs” along with a short biography by May 11, 2015 to gam@tugraz.at. We look forward to receiving proposals from the areas of engineering science, structural engineering, design and theory of architecture, cultural studies, and technological research. The submission deadline for finalized contributions is1 August 3, 2015.

VIEW Journal of European Television History and Culture devotes its 9th issue (Spring 2016) to TV Formats and Format Research: Theory, methodology, history and new developments.
This special issue of VIEW seeks to build on existing format scholarship and deepen our understanding of the history and continuing growth of the TV format business from a European perspective.
VIEW Journal Issue 09 (Spring 2016)
=============================
Offering an international platform for outstanding academic research on television, VIEW Journal has an interdisciplinary profile. It acts both as a platform for critical reflection on the cultural, social and political role of television in Europe’s past and present as well as a multi-media platform for the circulation and use of digitized audiovisual material.
The journal’s main aim is to function as a showcase for a creative and innovative use of digitised television material in scholarly work. It intends to inspire a fruitful discussion between audiovisual heritage institutions (especially television archives) and a broader community of television experts and amateurs.
In offering a unique technical infrastructure for a multi-media presentation of critical reflections on European television, the journal aims to stimulate innovative narrative forms of online storytelling, making use of the digitised audiovisual collections of television archives around Europe.
Call for Papers: TV Formats and format research
======================================
This special issue of VIEW seeks to build on the existing format scholarship and deepen our understanding of the history and the continuing growth of the TV Format business from a European perspective. During the last 15 years format research has grown into a notable, distinct field of academic investigation alongside the dramatic expansion of the trade in TV formats. Format research attempts to:
– Historicise the TV format business;
– Theorise formats and their audiences;
– Uncover business practices and rationales;
– Understand the resulting transformations in the patterns and flows of international programme trade;
– Illuminate localisation practice;
– Reveal and contextualise the particularities of specific local adaptations;
– Understand the implications of format imports for local production.
We seek contributions that can advance our theoretical and methodological approaches to television formats, address the latest trends in TV formatting, and/or fill other gaps in format scholarship. We welcome contributions in the form of either short articles (2000-4500 words) or video and audio essays.
Theory, methodology, history and new developments
=========================================
Proposals are invited on (but not limited to):
– Production and/or distribution patterns and trends of TV formats developed in or imported into Europe;
– Historical cases of successful and/or failed attempts of selling formats out of or into Europe;
– Significant European TV format players (national or multinational production and/or distribution companies);
– National or European policies that address TV formats in relation to quotas;
– Transnational cultures relating to TV formats (e.g. shared cultures of television production and/or distribution, television aesthetics, or viewing cultures);
– The impact of formatting television on programme flows, local production, genre development, scheduling and/or modes of television consumption and reception;
– Video and audio essays presenting primary sources (e.g. oral interviews, audio-visual material) or other ways of exploring TV formats in Europe.

GERMAN JEWISH CULTURES
Indiana University Press and the Leo Baeck Institute London are pleased to announce the launch of “German Jewish Cultures,” a new book series for scholarship at the intersections of Jewish and German Studies. This series will publish innovative studies of German-Jewish cultural, social, and intellectual history from the medieval to the modern period. In recognition of the diversification and increasingly interdisciplinary nature of Jewish studies, this new series seeks to expand the traditional purview of German-Jewish studies by welcoming contributions from across the full range of disciplines and methodologies that intersect and abut it, including postcolonial and gender studies, the history of the family, Yiddish studies, Israel Studies, folklore, animal studies, media studies, and film and visual culture. The editors invite manuscripts for monographs dealing with Jewish history and culture in and beyond German-speaking lands, especially projects with a pan-European or global dimension, or those that engage with Jewish history from the perspective of literary studies, art history, architecture, musicology, affect studies, anthropology, eco-history, disability studies, or any other branch of cultural studies. Works that engage with theoretical considerations of Jewishness and Jewish difference are also especially welcome.
Complete manuscripts should not accompany initial inquiries made to the appropriate member of the editorial board. Submissions should include a CV, a table of contents, an introduction or other sample chapter, and a prospectus addressing the following: the manuscript’s central arguments, themes, and significance with respect to existing literature; relevance of book for new directions in Jewish studies and/or German-Jewish studies; intended audiences and market; anticipated length of the manuscript and timeline for completion; number and type of illustrations; and whether any chapters or significant portions of chapters have previously been published (in any language).
