PresentationThe Keep It Simple, Make It Fast! (KISMIF) Conference 2020 will be preceded by a Summer School entitled &#8216;Not Just Holidays in the Sun&#8217; on 7 July 2020 in Rivoli Municipal Theatre of Porto. The Summer School will offer an opportunity for all interested persons, including those participating in the Conference, to attend workshops directed by specialists in their fields. Our KISMIF Summer School program invites students who are interested in, or currently using, DIY cultures in their research to join us for an exciting and innovative one-day summer school program. The goal of the one-day program will be to encourage discussion and experimentation in the documentation of DIY cultures as much as it will be to encourage a new generation of DIY academics (Punk Ethnographers!) to experiment with digital cinema and performance in their research practices.Instructions for proposal submissionThe KISMIF Conference 2020 welcomes the submission of proposals for paper presentations and performance-based presentations.All proposals must be written in English and submitted to the KISMIF Conference website: www.kismifconference.com.no later than 15 February 2020,Each author cannot submit more than one proposal as first author.Specific Instructions for paper proposal submissions:Paper proposal abstracts should be approximately 250 words in length.The information requested with abstract submissions includes:The name(s) of the author(s), their area of expertise (sociology, economy, etc.), their institutional affiliation (department, university, country), and e-mail(s);Title of the proposed presentation;Abstract with approximately 250 words;Keywords - between 3-5.Specific Instructions for artistic performance-based proposal submissions:In relation to the Conference&#8217;s main thematic focus &#8212; DIY Cultures and Global Challenges &#8212; the Conference will also allot time for participative creative sharing, around the practice of DIY music, improvisation and exchange.In this context, the KISMIF Conference 2020 invites all conference presenters and all visitors with a creative background (whether amateur, semi-professional or professional), to either host/coordinate or to participate in one of the daytime creative performances during the conference.We ask potential participants to submit a proposal for creative performance.
