Call for Papers for 2010 SCMS conference panel

Panel title - Gear: Media-Making Technologies

The goal of this panel is to explore one of the least analyzed topics 
in media studies: the equipment used to produce and project/broadcast 
film, video, radio,  television, and games.

Possible paper topics include:

- professional movie cameras and projectors
- professional TV cameras
- image editing equipment
- sound recording and editing equipment
- amateur movie and video cameras
- consumer film projection (from Super 8 to YouTube)
- consumer radios (from analog to satellite)
- television sets (from analog to digital)
- gaming technologies
- media technology use and issues of identity (gender, class, race, age, etc.)
- manufacturing and marketing media-making gear
- consumer electronics shops
- archiving media-making gear

Since the 2010 SCMS conference theme is "Archiving the 
Future/Mobilizing the Past," papers that take a historical approach 
and explore the ways in which previous technologies inform current 
media-making equipment and practices are especially appreciated.

Please send a 250-400-word abstract with at least 5 references and a 
brief biographical note to Mary Celeste Kearney 
<[log in to unmask]> by August 17, 2009. (Text pasted into the 
body of an email, rather than an attached Word doc, is preferred.) 
Selections for the panel will be made by August 19, 2009.
