APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING
Registration is open for postgraduate conference: 'Journeys Across Media' 2008
Authenticity?
Reality, Reliability & Access in Performance and Media
Friday 11 April 2008
Department of Film, Theatre & Television — University of Reading
Supported by the Standing Conference of University Drama Departments (SCUDD)
and the Graduate School in Arts and Humanities, University of Reading.
What do we really mean when we say something is authentic? How important
are questions of authenticity to our engagement with media texts,
performance and institutions? As a concept, authenticity remains imprecise
despite its frequent association with many aspects of film, theatre,
television and new media.
JAM 2008, the sixth annual conference for postgraduates run by postgraduates
at the Department of Film, Theatre and Television, will explore and
interrogate the idea of ‘authenticity’ in film, theatre, television and new
media from a variety of approaches and contexts.
KEYNOTE: Life after PhD
