Dear Film & Philosophy Community, Re: MIT Conference MiT9 - Media in Transition. Information: http://web.mit.edu/comm-forum/mit9/subs/call.html As you may know, this weekend is a deadline for the submission of paper proposals for the 9th Media in Transition (MiT9) conference at MIT in Boston (May 1-3), which focuses this year on audiences, and is titled "Mediating Audiences." If you are interested in an anthropological approach toward media (and film) studies, please consider submitting a proposal (and hopefully, joining as an audience or participants). If you do not plan to attend, please contact us for information on future collaborative projects involving this method/angle. We submitted a panel proposal for MiT9, and will welcome additional papers to extend the discussion beyond the two papers below: PANEL: Ritual Circles from Stonehenge to Singularity - Toward an Anthropological Theory of the Audience PAPER 1. Mediating Audiences: The Symbolic Construction of Community and the Genre System as Socio-Cultural Frameworks PAPER 2. No Trespassing! Ins-and-Outs of Fictional Worlds: Audiences’ Twisted Paths across Textual Borders Please get in touch for more information, if interested in this panel/approach, or in developing collaborative projects. If you wish to join our panel, please send your abstracts to this email (or contact.storytellingonscreen.com) and to the MiT9 conference contact email asap: [log in to unmask] We will post updates under NEWS on storytellingonscreen.com For all who are interested but can't attend, MiT conferences usually post abstracts online and publish a follow-up volume with selected papers.
