WORK & PLAY

2022 Literature/Film Association Conference

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

October 20 to October 22, 2022



Keynote: Vicki Mayer, Tulane University



We are excited to return to in-person conferencing this fall with an
examination of work and play, broadly conceived. Holding the annual
conference of the Literature/Film Association in New Orleans raises
questions of labor and leisure in relation to adaptation in the study of
literature, film, and media. Not only has the city served as the home to
writers and filmmakers, but it also has become a major media capital in its
own right, enticing television and film production with tax incentives and
its distinctive culture. As “work” and “play” have motivated a good deal of
recent scholarship across literature, film, and media studies, we invite
presentations that put these concerns in conversation with adaptation,
broadly defined. While we welcome papers on any aspect of film and media
studies, we are especially interested in presentations that address one or
more of the following concerns regarding work or play:


   -

   the work behind adapting into a different medium
   -

   labor and cultural production
   -

   authorship and adaptation
   -

   the workplace as cultural intersection/metaphor in literature, film, and
   media
   -

   production studies and below-the-line labor
   -

   play in cultural production
   -

   teaching adaptation and adapting teaching
   -

   labor, social change, and adaptation
   -

   adaptation as textual play
   -

   gameplay as adaptation
   -

   games as adaptations or adapting games
   -

   play in analyzing and interpreting text
   -

   plays as adaptations or adapting plays into a different medium

performance as adaptation

We also have significant interest in general studies of American and
international cinema, film and technology, television, new media, and other
cultural or political issues connected to the moving image. In addition to
academic papers, presentation proposals about pedagogy or from creative
writers, artists, and filmmakers are also welcome.

Vicki Mayer is Professor of Communication at Tulane University. Her
research encompasses media and communication industries, their political
economies, infrastructures, and their organizational work cultures. Her
publications seek to theorize and illustrate how these industries shape
workers and how media and communication work shapes workers and citizens.
Her theories inform her work in the digital humanities and pedagogy, most
recently on ViaNolaVie and NewOrleansHistorical. Her books include Producing
Dreams, Consuming Youth: Mexican Americans and Mass Media; Below the Line:
Producers and Production Studies in the New Television Economy; and Almost
Hollywood, Nearly New Orleans: The Lure of the Local Film Economy.
