*Theorising the Popular Conference 2017*
Liverpool Hope University, June 21st-22nd 2017
The Popular Culture Research Group at Liverpool Hope University is
delighted to announce its seventh annual international conference,
‘Theorising the Popular’. Building on the success of previous years, the
2017 conference aims to highlight the intellectual originality, depth and
breadth of ‘popular’ disciplines, as well as their academic relationship
with and within ‘traditional’ subjects. One of its chief goals will be to
generate debate that challenges academic hierarchies and cuts across
disciplinary barriers.
The conference invites submissions from a broad range of disciplines, and
is particularly interested in new ways of researching ‘popular’ forms of
communication and culture. In addition to papers from established and early
career academics, we encourage proposals from postgraduate taught and
research students.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Film and Television
- Media and Communication
- Politics and Populism
- Literature (Fiction and Non-Fiction)
- Music
- Drama and Performance
- Fan Cultures and Audience Research
- Sport
- Celebrity
- Social Media
- Gender: Feminism/Femininities/Masculinities/Queering/Sexualities/Representations
of the Body
- Language/Linguistics
The conference will be held at Liverpool Hope’s main campus, Hope Park.
Situated in a pleasant suburb of Liverpool, just four miles from the city
centre, Hope Park offers superb facilities in beautiful surroundings.
Papers should be 20 minutes in length. Please send abstracts of 300 words
to Dr Jacqui Miller and Dr Joshua Gulam ([log in to unmask]) by March
17th 2017. The abstract should include your name, email address,
affiliation, as well as the title of your paper.
Successful abstracts will be notified by April 3rd 2017.
Conference fees: £100 for both days, including lunch and all refreshments
(£80 for students).
