Sex and the City Ten Years On: Landmark Television and its Legacy
Friday April 4 2014, 9am – 7pm (including drinks reception)
University of Roehampton, London
We are delighted to confirm the plenary speakers for the conference:
Kim Akass, Janet McCabe, Kirsty Fairclough-Isaacs, Beatriz Oria and Professor Mandy Merck
2014 marks ten years since the final episode of Sex and the City (HBO 1998-2004) was broadcast.
During the programme’s six seasons, and throughout the decade following its finale, Sex and the City has continued to be recognised as one of the most contentious and cherished series in recent television history, having tapped into a zeitgeist consumed by postfeminism to become a cultural touchstone. Embraced and vilified with unforgettable vehemence by audiences, critics and the media, this conference will explore the ways in which the impact of SATC and its 'afterlife' continues to be felt across popular culture and in a television marketplace that is hugely indebted to the way the series rewrote the boundaries of the medium.
Early bird rate: £40 / Full rate: £50
Student rate: £20 up until Friday 28 February 2014, £25 thereafter
Early bird rate available until Friday 28 February 2014
Lunch, refreshments and a drink reception are included in the rate.
