TV Fiction Exchange: Local/Regional/National/Global.
An International Conference.
Venue: Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU
Cheshire).
Dates: Tuesday 5 - Friday 8 September 2006.
TV Fiction Exchange: Local/Regional/National/Global aims to address the
impact of shifts in the circulation of fictions for the small screen. The
rapid developments in digital and satellite technologies have opened up a
global market for television in a horizontally-integrated, multi-media
environment with major impact upon product-making and the cultures of
reception. The conference aims to address a core tension between the
increasing tendency of multi-media conglomerates to think globally at the
macro-economic level and the known preference for locally-inflected
product at the local reception level. It will look at how changes are
affecting national and regional television production and small screen
fiction product and how they are impacting in turn upon local, regional
national – or possibly trans-national – identities.
