Apologies for cross-posting: The Television Series: Methodologies and New Directions. A Franco-British Workshop Friday 9 – Saturday 10 April 2010 LCP, JILC, Maison des Sciences de la Communication, PARIS Both American and British scholars have been writing about the television series for over thirty years. It is only recently, however, that European scholars have come to understand the value of ‘quality’ television fictions. In order to facilitate discussion, develop methodologies, and further research questions, Barbara Villez (LCP* and JILC*) and Hervé Glévarec (LCP), co-convenors, have organised a workshop in association with Janet McCabe, Kim Akass (MMU* and CST*). The workshop will be held in Paris on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 April 2010 (see schedule below). To launch this collaborative project, we are honoured to announce Professor Jane Feuer (University of Pittsburgh, currently Fulbright scholar and author of Seeing Through the Eighties and MTM Quality Television) as keynote speaker. Her paper is entitled "Psycho-analysis on/of US quality drama". If you intend to participate, can we request the following: 1 confirm attendance (limited number of places) 2 send a list of your publications, if possible, in the field of television studies. 3 send a working bibliography of the principal references used in your work on television. (We intend to compile a comprehensive bibliography available online, to help young scholars enter the field with original studies.) Confirm your presence by contacting Corinne Navelant <[log in to unmask]> before 2 April 2010. Send your list of publications and the bibliographies (as separate files) to the same address by 7 April 2010. .
