[eccr] Media History and History in the Media

Call for Papers

Media History and History in the Media

A conference to be held at the University of Wales Study Centre at Gregynog
31 March - 1 April 2005

This conference is designed to focus on two related issues. The first is 
the nature and problems of studying 'media' history. The second is the ways 
in which historical interpretations and representations are, or have 
been,  embedded in all forms of media output, not just programmes and 
articles which purport to deal with historical themes.

Papers are invited that address the general theme of the study of media 
history, or that address through particular case studies how history is 
articulated in print, radio, film or television output, across continents 
and/or across time. The conference will be organised around plenaries 
addressing the key themes and seminars focussing on case studies that 
emerge from this call for papers. The organisers hope to publish a 
selection of contributions in either a special edition of Media History or 
in a separate publication.

The conference is being jointly organised by the Department of Media and 
Communication Studies, University of Wales, Swansea, the Department of 
Theatre Film and Television Studies, University of Wales, Aberystwyth and 
the Centre For Media History, University of Wales, Aberystwyth and the 
journal Media History.

Abstracts of 250 words, along with name and affiliation should be sent to 
Professor Kevin Williams, Department of Media and Communication Studies, 
University of Wales, Swansea, Singleton Park, Swansea SA 2 8PP. Email 
(K.M.Williams /at/ swansea.ac.uk) by 7th October 2003.
