It is with great pleasure that we announce the launch of the Screen Studies Research and Enterprise Group to be held on Wednesday 4 July. This will take the form of a one-day symposium entitled Screening the Unreal which will draw on scholars from within and outside the university. Taking place on Grand Parade campus this event will showcase research activities across the School of Media and beyond, illustrating the expansive range of media and culture incorporated by the diverse and multidisciplinary field of Screen Studies.
Screening the Unreal will cover film, television and digital media, as well as the cultures which surround them. The line-up currently includes papers on early trick photography, 1980s fantasy film, Gothic videogames, avant-garde cinema, children's television and online media. Such themes as haunted landscapes, folk horror, digital storytelling, teenage masculinity, star studies and performance, uncanny blogging and artificial intelligence will feature.
We hope that you can join us for this launch event. No registration needed. All welcome!
