*Critical Studies in Television Conference“State of Play: Television
Scholarship in ‘TVIV’”*

*5th – 7th September 2018Edge Hill University, UK*
Television is and always has been changing. The recent shifts, connected to
new, online providers creating their own content and offering new forms of
distribution, have led to some scholars (Jenners 2016) questioning if the
age of TVIV has arrived. While Mareike Jenners remains unconvinced that the
transformations are significant enough to warrant such a description, it is
nevertheless noticeable that the recent changes affecting television have
also had an impact on our subject of television studies. For example,
Catherine Johnson’s work (2007, 2012) points to how even the
transformations brought about by the deregulation and commercialisation of
public service broadcasting require us to investigate more strongly aspects
of television that pertain to marketing and PR.
As others (e.g. Born 2011, Johnson, Kompare and Santo 2014) have shown,
these shifts also impact on how television operates as a workplace. In
relation to consumption, shifts towards 360-degree commissioning (Mittell
2014) mean that we need to be more aware of the transmedia experiences of
audiences (Evans 2011) and their roles as fan-ancers (Hills 2015). Looking
at the development of new media and its use, Evans et al. (2017) have shown
that our conceptualisations of audiences’ television consumption might be
helpful to make sense of their second screen use as well. Outside and
inside of national borders, television is morphing into a transnational
entity that requires complex negotiations by the different stakeholders
involved (Kuipers 2011, 2015).
In addition to these industry-led changes, there are those that come from
cognisant fields of research: the shift towards high-end drama production,
particularly in America, for example, has attracted the attention of a
number of film scholars who bring with them different terminologies, while
other aspects of television – be that the representation of violence, law,
disability, etc. – have a longer history of attracting scholars from other
disciplines.


In this conference, we are inviting papers that pertain to all aspects of
television, but are particularly interested in abstracts that engage with
the question of what television scholarship might be or become as a result
of these shifts. As a journal, we are interested in all kinds of
presentations, including traditional research papers, workshops, roundtable
discussions, screenings and posters.
Abstracts for individual papers, panels or other forms of communication are
welcome on any theme connected to television and television scholarship,
though we will give priority to papers engaging with the themes highlighted
above. Collaborations and interdisciplinary projects are also of particular
interest.

Please send abstracts of no more than 500 words* by 12pm GMT on Friday 16th*
