TRADING CULTURE:
An International Conference on the themes of the  indigenous  and the
 exportable  in film and television culture, July 18-20, 2002

CALL FOR PAPERS
The international trade in film was established in the early part of the
twentieth century. By the start of the twenty-first century this has extended
to include an increasingly global trade in television programmes and a
re-working of the concept of  export  in the era of satellite and the internet.
This conference will focus on the cultural dimension of these economic
developments ranging from theories of the indigenous to the political economy
of culture and from analysis of the development and migration of national
cinemas to accounts of the role of cinema and television in national life and
minority culture. Paper proposals addressing the themes of the conference are
requested from scholars working in the fields of film and media studies,
sociology, social and political history, anthropology, art history, law and
economics. Proposals should be no more than 300 words and should include your
full contact details, the title of the paper and an abstract of its content.
Proposals should be submitted to the AHRB Centre Administrator, Sheffield
Hallam University, School of Cultural Studies, Psalter Lane, Sheffield S11 8UZ,
United Kingdom (email: [log in to unmask]).
The deadline for proposals is 30 OCTOBER, 2001.
The Conference organiser, Professor Sylvia Harvey, can also be contacted at the
address above.
