< Leonardo Call for Papers : The Role of Artists and Scientists in Times of
War >

We live in a time when war, far from being eliminated from the planet, is a
continuing fact of life for many. Some wars are overt military wars, others
are endemic situations of social and economic conflict.

What are the roles of artists and scientists in times of war?  How can we
be useful?  How can our work contribute to new approaches? Historically,
the work of some artists and scientists has been instrumental in shaping
perceptions and initiatives.

Leonardo editorial advisor Michele Emmer and Leonardo seek papers
discussing these and other topics that address the role and work of artists
and scientists in times of war.

Texts that are being published as part of this project include the
