REMINDER! The University of Reading's eighth annual postgraduate
conference: JAM 2010
THE AUDIENCE SPECTACULAR: Who's watching and how? Ideas of audience in
screen media and performance
JAM 2010 April 16th, University of Reading
CALL FOR PAPERS
Rapidly emerging technologies and the effects of globalization continue
to shape the work of those practitioners concerned with re-positioning
the viewer, and impact strongly on developing discourses within the
fields of audience theory and spectatorship. Our dynamic role as
audience members and groups, responding to a wide variety of forms, is
fore-grounded with increasing urgency across media, prompting a
dismantling of traditional models of engagement and re-energised
theorization. JAM 2010 will aim to investigate audience identities
across a range of media, practices, and critical discourses. We want to
address the spectating, experiencing and participating audience member
as well as thinking about the role of audience member as something we
perform, consciously or otherwise. Journeys Across Media 2010 is the 8th
annual conference for postgraduates, run by postgraduates working in the
Department of Film, Theatre & Television, University of Reading. We
welcome proposals that address what it means to be an audience member
today, framed by some of the following concerns:
Aesthetics Genre Narrative Representation
Interaction
New technologies Community Medium specificity Practice as research
Liveness Activism Relational space Documentary
Proposals for practice as research presentations outside the twenty
minute format will be considered.
CALL FOR PAPERS deadline: Friday 30th January 2010
Please send a 250 word proposal and a 100 word biographical note to Becki
