Postgraduates of The Film Theatre & Television Department, Reading invite
you to their eighth annual conference: JAM 2010
THE AUDIENCE SPECTACULAR: Who's watching and how? Ideas of audience in
screen media and performance
JAM 2010 April 16th, University of Reading
CALL FOR PAPERS
Rapidly emerging technologies and the effects of globalization continue to
shape the work of those practitioners concerned with re-positioning the
viewer, and impact strongly on developing discourses within the fields of
audience theory and spectatorship. Our dynamic role as audience members and
groups, responding to a wide variety of forms, is fore-grounded with
increasing urgency across media, prompting a dismantling of traditional
models of engagement and re-energised theorization. JAM 2010 will aim to
investigate audience identities across a range of media, practices, and
critical discourses. We want to address the spectating, experiencing and
participating audience member as well as thinking about the role of
audience member as something we perform, consciously or otherwise. Journeys
Across Media 2010 is the 8th annual conference for postgraduates, run by
postgraduates working in the Department of Film, Theatre & Television,
University of Reading. We welcome proposals that address what it means to
be an audience member today, framed by some of the following concerns:
Aesthetics
Genre
Narrative
Representation
Interaction
New technologies
Community
Medium specificity
Practice as research
Liveness
Activism
Relational space
Documentary
Proposals for practice as research presentations outside the twenty minute
format will be considered.
CALL FOR PAPERS deadline: Friday 30th January 2010
Please send a 250 word proposal and a 100 word biographical note to Becki
