Call for Papers: Imagination, Cognition, and the Arts

Frontiers

Although there is an immense bulk of literature on imagination, both in the hard sciences and in the humanities, it is still an elusive concept.

The main questions about imagination regard the modalities and effects of this human faculty, particularly in relation to the construction of cognitive, as well as aesthetic, and symbolic constraints. Many hypotheses and theories have highlighted different features and behaviors of the imagination. The inquiry into imagination will benefit from the contribution of scholars in both the scientific and the humanities fields, acknowledging conceptual and experimental approaches through several epistemological perspectives, in order to address research questions such as the following:

Which are the neuronal underpinnings activated in imagining in everyday life?
Are there neural processes involved in imagining counterfactual worlds, that are exclusive of art?
How does the bodily dimension affect the imaginative process?
How is imagery produced in the beholders’ minds?
How is imagery produced while reading a literary text?
What are the differences between simulation and imagination while watching at visual artworks or reading (literary) text?
Which role do emotions play in the construction of imagery during the reading/watching act?
Which role does empathy play in imagining counterfactual worlds?
How do language and style contribute to the creation of imaginative counterfactual worlds?
Which clues of the literary text do trigger imagination?

Deadline for Submission of Abstracts: 30 June 2023

Call for papers: Causal Inference in Information Science

ScienceDirect

ScienceDirect is organizing a special issue at Information Processing and Management (IP&M). The topic of this special issue is "Causal Inference in Information Science", covering a wide range of topics on both methodology and application sides. The objective of setting up this special issue is to bridge the Information Science community with causal inference communities and to showcase how future information scientists establish their research in a causal inference way instead of purely at a correlation level.

Possible topics of submissions include but not limited to the below two different directions:

• Methodology track: New causal inference methods (regression-, machine learning-, experiment-based, etc., strategies).

• Application track: Applying causal inference strategies into specific research scenarios of Information Science (e.g., scientometrics, scholarly communication, information behavior, information retrieval, digital libraries, etc.).

Deadline: 31 May 2023
