Broadcast Culture, Intellectual Networks, and the Archive
A one-day symposium, Friday 3rd June 2016
Streatham Court 0.28, Streatham Campus, University of Exeter
This symposium brings together researchers and archival practitioners to consider the interconnected history of literary networks and broadcast culture from the 1940s to the present. Focusing on the BBC as a dynamic contact zone for writers and intellectuals, it will address the role which broadcasting played in telegraphing the end of empire and the ways in which it shaped a sense of identity in the imperial metropolis. The symposium is designed to bring scholars, students, curators and archivists together to debate new critical paradigms of World Literature and will foreground a consideration of the challenges and opportunities when curating and researching broadcast archives in the digital age.
Keynote Speakers: Susheila Nasta (Open University), James Procter (Newcastle) and Bill Schwarz (Queen Mary)
