The 11th Irish Screen Studies Seminar will take place at Ulster University, York Street, Belfast on Thursday 7th-Friday 8th May 2015.
The seminar is aimed at postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers in film and screen cultures in the broadest sense touching on film, television, digital media, transmedia, gaming and interdisciplinary research. It is designed to provide a platform for the presentation of new research by scholars in Irish third-level institutions and for those working on Irish topics in non-Irish universities and colleges.
The keynote speaker is Sean Cubitt, Professor of Film and Television at Goldsmiths, University of London; Professorial Fellow of the University of Melbourne and Honorary Professor of the University of Dundee. His publications include Timeshift: On Video Culture, Videography: Video Media as Art and Culture, Digital Aesthetics, Simulation and Social Theory, The Cinema Effect, EcoMedia and The Practice of Light: A Genealogy of Visual Technologies from Prints to Pixels. He is the series editor for Leonardo Books at MIT Press. Current research is on the history and philosophy of visual technologies, on media art history and on ecocriticism and mediation.
