An
international interdisciplinary conference hosted by the Centre for Culture,
Media and Creative Industries and the Department of Digital Humanities, King’s
College, London.
Dates:
13/14th September 2012
Location:
King’s College London, Strand Campus
This
conference seeks to bring together current research exploring the relationship
between contemporary girlhood and digital culture, in a transnational
frame. Drawing on approaches from the arts, humanities and social
sciences the conference will look at how contemporary transformations and
transnational interconnections may be challenging existing social and cultural
categories, power structures and global hegemonies. The conference will address
the following questions:
•
What are the key debates in current research on girls, young women and digital
culture?
•
How might a transnational lens raise new questions, and what new ideas does it
make thinkable?
•
Is digital culture global culture?
•
How does the development of new digital technologies affects notions and
experiences of girlhood?
•
How are girls using new digital technologies?
•
How do ideas and practices move across national borders?
•
What effects do transnational interconnections have on girlhood and digital
culture?
