The Image Conference

We are pleased to share with you the Call for Papers for the Fourteenth International Conference on The Image, to be hosted by the University of San Jorge, Zaragoza, Spain, 15-16 November 2023.

For over 10 years, we’ve offered a place for researchers, theoreticians, practitioners, and teachers from areas of interest including: architecture, art, cognitive science, communications, computer science, cultural studies, design, education, film studies, history, linguistics, management, marketing, media studies, museum studies, philosophy, photography, psychology, religious studies, semiotics, and more.

We welcome returning and new members to add their voices to the conversation.

In-Person Presenter Passes: for those who want to present in the place-based component of the conference. You are also encouraged to participate in and share your content, in the online components, by adding to add digital media to your presenter page on the CGScholar Event Microsite.

Online-Only Presenter Passes for those who know they will not attend the place-based component but still want to present, view all content, and engage in meaningful discussion. Online presentations will be delivered and viewed online as asynchronous digital media. Online Only presenters also have discussion boards to structure conversations.

Co-Creating Community Resources:

We aim to capture and add as much content as possible on our CGScholar Event Microsite. The microsite becomes an archive to which delegates and Research Network members can return anytime. 

Audience Passes are for those who want to benefit from the content, connect with presenters, and join the discussion. Audience members will also be recognized in the program for their participation. 

In-Person: participate in innovative in-person formats, plenaries, talking circles, garden conversations, and on a human scale. You will also have access to all online-only content.

Online Only: gain access to live and recorded presentations, welcome addresses, plenaries, and curated thematic content — from any place and in your own time.

All presenters are also encouraged to submit their papers to the companion journal, The International Journal of the Image.
