Instructions for Posters [for the Japanese version, click here]
What is the purpose of poster session? For a sound development of any theory, the diversity of approaches and active exchange of ideas are vital. The poster session precisely serves this purpose. While the paper session proceeds exactly keeping the time, the poster session has greater flexibility, especially when it comes to the discussion between the presenter and the audience. A presenter, standing by his/her poster, may either give a self-contained presentation of the paper, or just start by taking questions from the nearby audience. It often happens that people who share exactly the same interest come across each other during the poster session and collaborations develop. Also, the informal atomosphere of the poster session makes it easier for anyone to get engaged in in-depth discussions.
In humanitites, the poster session is not as common as in sciences. But in certin respects, for example in terms of interactivity, the poster session is superior to the paper session. So please take this as a good chance to enjoy in-depth discussions.
Time and location: The time for poster session will be September 2, 13:00-14:00 which is the second day of the conference. The place will be the Lobby of Building 18 (called "Multimedia Gallery"). For details please refer to the section on Venue. The panels will be removed in the afternoon of September 3, so please take back your posters if you want to keep them.
Format: We provide roughly 60 minutes, partially overlapping with the lunch time, for the poster session. Each presenter will be provided a panel with the effective space of about 85 x 165 cm (=33 x 65 inch). Put a resume of your presentation with examples, tables, and figures, on this space which will give a clear idea of your study. You may either put a large single-page poster or put several regular-sized pages together. The samples are shown below.
Each presenter must bring in the finished, printed poster. We offer no printing facility whatsoever. The poster must be put on the panel well before the session starts. We strongly recommend that you get everything ready around 12:30, as some people may visit your poster right after the morning session. We will put a name tag on the panels (in alphabetical order) for your convenience. The poster must be in English, while we put no constraints on the language used in the discussion. Unfortunately, there is no internet connection on the location. If you wish to bring in a PC you must put all necessary documents on it, stand-alone, or use a wireless connection (at your own risk!).
There will be about 20 poster presentations. All presenters must be standing by their posters for the whole session. It is welcome, though not required, that the posters be put on the panels through the end of the second day. If you wish to bring back your poster, please take it back by lunch time of the third day.
Tips: Because the poster session has great flexibility, the presentation should not be like that of an ordinary paper, i.e. you are not expected to just read your paper. Rather, take it as a very quick lecture (say five to ten minutes), expecting interruptions at any moment. Just present the gist of your research, and let the audience decide how to proceed.
Given the time slot of about 60 minutes, the audience will move from one poster to another during the session. So it is probable that you give the same talk more than once. It's worth doing, so don't get tired.
It is also a good idea that you bring copies of your full paper, or detailed handouts, so that interested audience may obtain them for future correspondence.
