CONSOLE-ING PASSIONS: TV, VIDEO, NEW MEDIA, FEMINISM
2001: Trans World Airwaves
Console-ing Passions 2001 welcomes proposals for papers, panels, and
workshops on television, video and feminism. The changing nature of
television since the advent of digital media technologies and the
emerging global economy have profound ramifications for contemporary
studies of the televisual text. The fact that this year's conference
will take place in Bristol, England will provide a unique opportunity to
explore these important issues outside of an American context. Submit
your work to what promises to be an exciting intercultural exchange in
the new millennium. Proposals should foreground questions of sexual,
national, racial and other cultural differences including feminist
perspectives on:
* Transnational Histories: Comparative Cultural Approaches to
Broadcasting History
* Feminism and Public Sphere Media Theory
* The V-Chip / Censorship and Regulation
* Euro-American Exchanges: Exploring the Neo-Reality TV Craze
* Post-television, Digital Media and the Convergence Industries
* Web-TV and TIVO: Charting the Global-Media Paradigm Shift
* Is Video Art Making a Comeback?
* Archiving and Preserving Video Texts
* International Programs and American Audiences
* American Programs and Global Audiences
* TV and the Postcolonial Subject \ Viewing Race
* Commercialism vs. Public Service Systems and the Female Audience
* TV Wars: Cable vs. Satellite TV
* Digital Media Arts and TV
* Other ideas and topics are encouraged
