Overview
The Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies
<http://www.aber.ac.uk/tfts/index.php> in association with the Wales
Institute for Cultural and Communication Industries and the Mercator
Centre for Minority Languages is hosting a two day international
conference at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth to mark the
25th anniversary of the first broadcast by S4C <http://www.s4c.co.uk> ,
the Welsh language television channel, on 1st November 1982.
The Conference aims to analyse significant events and scrutinise major
decisions taken in the trajectory of S4C from the legendary broadcasting
campaign right through to the channel's vision of its future role and
position in the market-led, post-analogue, multi-platform world.
In addition to academic papers and presentations, keynote speeches and
panel discussion, the Conference will hold a number of unique witness
sessions during which key figures will be interviewed in depth on the
subject of their role in the creation / development of S4C.
While the focus of this Conference is firmly on S4C as a Welsh language
broadcaster, its position as the first dedicated minority language
channel will be addressed through the comparative international context.
Topics to be discussed include, but are not limited to:
* The emergence of S4C as a cultural,
economic and linguistic force in Wales
* The relationship between S4C and other
broadcasters in Wales and the UK
* S4C as pioneer of minority language
broadcasting
* S4C as multi-platform content
disseminator
* S4C and cultural vitality in Wales
* Commissioning and programming
* Content
* Audiences, citizens and consumers
