Greetings everyone:
After several requests and a bit of tweaking, I’m making a second call for papers as I organize a panel for the Society for Cinema and Media Studies (SCMS) conference for March 6-9, 2008 at the Loews Hotel in Philadelphia.
I’d still like to do an examination of how constructs of race, ethnicity and empire have created discourses within broadcast media emphasizing Transnationalism. Of particular importance are instances in which Latin American, European or American programming have reemphasized aspects of nationhood or place.
How have various media (the internet, radio, newsreels, films or television) affected notions of nationality, particularly when considering issues of globalization? How has cultural symbiosis played a role?
Other questions participants might consider exploring include:
How have these narratives been adapted to other media - and why? What has been the social and cultural significance of these adaptations historiographically?
How does technology or issues of globalization affect the production of these narratives, and their reception?
How did the specific medium affect or influence its meaning?
How did the research of these programs and/their audiences create epistemological challenges?
What constitutes their importance?
Please email a proposal of less than 250-word with a brief bio by August 24th, 2007 to [log in to unmask] I will reply by August 27th.
