Dear Colleagues,
I attach and paste in here a second call for papers for the forthcoming
conference on Media History and History in the Media.
We would appreciate it if you could circulate this as widely as possible.
With apologies for cross posting.

Call for Papers
Media History and History in the Media
A conference to be held at the University of Wales Study Centre at Gregynog
31 March – 1 April 2005
This conference is designed to focus on two related issues. The first is
the nature and problems of studying ‘media’ history. The second is the
ways in which historical interpretations and representations are, or have
been, embedded in all forms of media output, not just programmes and
articles which purport to deal with historical themes.
Papers are invited that address the general theme of the study of media
history, or that address through particular case studies how history is
articulated in print, radio, film or television output, across continents
and/or across time. The conference will be organised around plenaries
addressing the key themes and seminars focussing on case studies that
emerge from this call for papers. The organisers hope to publish a
selection of contributions in either a special edition of Media History or
in a separate publication.
The conference is being jointly organised by the Department of Media and
Communication Studies, University of Wales, Swansea, the Department of
Theatre Film and Television Studies, University of Wales, Aberystwyth and
the Centre For Media History, University of Wales, Aberystwyth and the
journal Media History.
Abstracts of 250 words, along with name and affiliation should be sent to
Professor Kevin Williams, Department of Media and Communication Studies,
University of Wales, Swansea, Singleton Park, Swansea SA 2 8PP. Email
[log in to unmask] by 30th November 2003.
