Subject: Registration open until April 26th - Discs, Distributors, and Disciples: Exploring The Home Media Renaissance - 23rd May 2015
Apologies for cross-posting.
Registration is now open for this one-day symposium at the University of Worcester on 23rd May 2015. This follows a successful call for papers which will cover a broad range of case studies.
*Registration will be open until 26th April 2015 (details below), to confirm seat availability and numbers in attendance. Late registration may be considered, but only if spaces are available.*
The rationale behind the event can be found below, as can details of the event itself:
Distribution is often been seen as the “invisible link” in the media industry, in terms of facilitating how films, television shows and other texts reach audiences. The rise of digital platforms, such as online rental services and bit torrents, recently changed this view and digital distribution is the focus of several recent publications. However, there has not been a mass shift towards purely digital media, and physical media releases are still sought out by fans and consumers. Special editions and box-sets for DVDs and Blu-Rays are frequently hyped up on social media, and from many countries around the world. Past formats also make for collectible items, such as VHS, Laserdisc, and HD-DVD. Terminology related to physical media hugely affects perceptions of exhibition and consumption, such as ‘box-sets’, ‘binge-watching’, and ‘marathon’.
Distributors have been recognised as the ones making all this possible.
Media distribution labels often promote their own actions; or their actions are reported on by critics and journalists; or fans and consumers directly respond to their releases and related activities. Such activity takes place within a variety of contexts – from film festivals to conventions and Q&A sessions; from social media, to dedicated websites and themed public attractions. This also occurs in relation to a variety of media texts – from newer releases to older titles; from films previously unavailable, to those regularly watched and celebrated by many.
The result of the raising of the profile of distributors has been a Home Media Renaissance. This exists not only as an alternative to online digital media exhibition options, but as one that occurs alongside them. In addition to the recent academic study of legitimate and illegitimate methods of online downloading and streaming, the simultaneous desire to own physical media is prevalent.
The aim of this symposium is to discuss and debate how and why distributors are becoming so prolific in an increasingly digital age. Is this activity a reaction to shifts towards downloading and streaming? Are consumers increasingly attracted to these forms of media, or are distributors desperate to maintain their interest? Can it last?
*Please email [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> if you wish to register to attend the event. Attendance is free of charge, but registration is necessary to guarantee a seat at the symposium, and to confirm numbers. Drinks will be made available, but not lunch. Please email if you have any queries.*

Subject: REMINDER ***In Conversation with Nick Gold*** 16 April 2015 11.30am
16 april 2015 11.30am
in conversation with nick gold
Hosted by Dr Simone Krüger
[cid:image001.png@01D076BC.9C365500]
Known as the architect of the Buena Vista Social Club phenomenon, Nick Gold and his small company, World Circuit Records, has been the force behind some of the most successful World Music projects of the last two decades: Grammy-winning Buena Vista Social Club from 1997, which has sold eight million copies worldwide; Talking Timbuktu, Ali Farka Touré's Grammy-winning album with Ry Cooder from 1994; the reunion of Orchestra Baobab, a Latin-flavoured Senegalese band of the 1970's and 80's; and Grammy Award-winning albums In the Heart of the Moon (2005) by Malian singer-guitarist Ali Farka Touré and kora player Toumani Diabaté, followed by their second Grammy-winning album Ali and Toumani in 2010. The typical World Circuit album is high quality and high concept, with rich and beautiful packaging that reflects the care taken with the recording. The personal touch and attention to detail is at the core of the label's ethos and its success. Capturing the essence of the music is a priority for the hands-on label boss who also produces many of his artists' records. Joining World Circuit in 1986 whilst recording and distributing world music before it became World Music, Nick Gold is now a legend on the scene, and the records that he produces sell millions on a global scale. Join us for a unique opportunity to hear Nick Gold talk about World Music, the birth of Buena Vista Social Club, music production, marketing, running a label, traveling, musical fusion, West African and Cuban music, and more.

Event description:
This event has two interrelated general aims: a) to bring into dialogue discourse analysis paradigms and methodologies across disciplines; and b) to explore the operation of sexism in the current conjuncture. The event is particularly interested in building bridges - both theoretically and methodologically speaking - between gender and language studies, and feminist cultural studies, sociology and social psychology, while also considering activism in this area. How might we learn from each other to better deconstruct, comprehend and resist contemporary gender ideologies and permutations of sexism?
During the day, we hope to provide a stimulating encounter to collaboratively advance innovative interdisciplinary approaches to the complex workings of power and ideology in discourse, as well as to reinvigorate intersectional feminist politics. The invited speakers will be addressing these questions theoretically, empirically, and/or drawing on their feminist practice/activism, and there will be opportunities for discussion.

Subject: British Television Drama: A History, 2nd edition
With apologies for cross posting.
Just published: British Television Drama: A History, 2nd edition (BFI/Palgrave, 2015)
This widely-respected history of British television drama is an indispensable guide to the significant developments in the area; from its beginnings on the BBC in the 1930s and 40s to its position in the twenty-first century, as television enters a multichannel digital era. Embracing the complete spectrum of television drama, Lez Cooke places programmes in their social, political and industrial contexts, and surveys the key dramas, writers, producers and directors.
Thoroughly revised and updated, this second edition includes new images and case studies, new material on British television drama before 1936, an expanded bibliography and a substantial new chapter that explores the renaissance in the quality, variety and social ambition of television drama in Britain since 2002. Comprehensive and accessible, this book will be of value to anyone interested in the rich history of British television and modern drama.
