After Post-Photography 6+ – Call for papers by M.A. and PhD candidates  
of Photography Studies (3-5 June 2021, European University St.  
Petersburg/online)

Due to commonly known reasons, the annual After Post-Photography  
conference on visual studies, history and theory of photography will  
have to happen online and not at the European University in St.  
Petersburg. We very much regret not meeting colleagues and friends,  
listening what they have to say about their newest research and trade  
ideas, stories and gossip during the coffee breaks. Yet we’ll use the  
opportunity to add a third day to the conference for M.A. and PhD  
candidates to pitch their projects and get substantial feedback from  
the participants of the conference and the APP community.
	This Call for Papers has no specific subject – we’re open to, and  
interested in, M.A. and PhD projects from all walks of research,  
including, but not limited to, the history of photolithography as a  
tool in the semi-conductor industry, queer photographers in Latin  
America, the accessibility of tintype portraits to members of the  
lower strata of society in the 1880s in the US, the under-the-counter  
trade in pornographic photography in the countries of the former  
eastern bloc before 1989, the interlacing of photography and music in  
Jazz, private photography in Mongolia before 1990, social media  
photography in sub-saharan Africa, the changing perceptions of time  
through ultra-highspeed photography, the photo-journalist as an avatar  
in video games, post-indexical photography, the history of gum  
bichromate as one of the most versatile emulsions in the late 19th  
century, Jeff Wall’s lightboxes as apparitions, sceptic re-readings of  
Roland Barthes’ vitriolic critique of “Family of Man” or similar, or  
completely different topics.
	Please submit your proposal of no more than 1600 characters in  
English no later than March 28 at  
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=app60. As we will blind review  
the submissions, make sure that your name does not appear in the  
proposal itself. If your work aims at analyzing visual material we  
also welcome links where we can see what you intend talking about. If  
you have any questions, please send an eMail to app at mur.at – we should  
get back to you within a few days. And should you like to know more  
about previous conferences, have a look at our website
