TELEVISION NARRATIVES SYMPOSIUM - Saturday 28th May
Confirmed Keynote Speaker: Dr. Matt Hills – author of ‘Fan Cultures’
(2002) and ‘Triumph of a Time Lord: Regenerating Doctor Who in the
Twenty-first Century’ (2010)
CALL FOR PAPERS
The narratives of TV drama have long since moved beyond the structural
parameters of the single play, the serial and the series to embrace more
hybrid, complex and expansive forms. This one-day symposium seeks to
investigate such expansions in the form and content of TV narratives. What
effects have changing trends in television narrative had upon television
aesthetics, storytelling and spectatorship? How have they impacted upon the
contributions of writers, producers, directors and performers working
within TV drama?
We are interested in work on all aspects of television narrative, and
particularly welcome submissions relating to:
• Transnational Television Narratives
• Television Adaptations and Remakes
• Television Paratexts and Narrative
• Narrative Complexity
• Narrative and Genre
Contemporary Flexi-Narrative Form
Please send abstracts of 2-300 words to both Martin Zeller-Jacques
[log in to unmask]) and Christopher Hogg ([log in to unmask]). Papers should
be roughly 20 minutes long in order to leave time for discussion. The
deadline for entry is Friday 22nd April and we aim to respond to all
submissions by 29th April.
