Hello everyone,
I want to invite you all to attend a symposium that I think will be of interest to you and your students. A group of German and American scholars will present a panel of papers titled Television and Popular Culture behind the Wall: Consumption, Adaption, and Transformation of Patterns of Western Popular Culture. The individual titles are
“Youth Culture and Popular Music in East German Family Series”,
“The Subversive Power of Western Pop Music on East German TV”,
“Popular Music on East German TV: Pop as Propaganda”,
“The Shifting Sounds of Cold War Germany: How Broadcasters in Divided Germany Coped with the Challenges of new Aesthetics of Music Consumption in East and West Germany in the 1960s”,
“Turntablerockers behind the Wall”.
The abstracts of the papers and further details can be found by following this link:

The symposium will be given from 3:30 to 6 pm on Thursday 29 October in the first floor lecture theatre of the Centenary Building (HT109).
