>Academic discourse on period film and television has been dominated by 
>work on the heritage film, costume dramas and adaptations.  This study day 
>seeks to expand the notion of period film and television to include a much 
>wider range of times, histories and spaces.  In particular, we also seek 
>to expand this notion of period film and television to include nostalgic 
>interpretations of earlier popular texts (by both producers and 
>consumers).  Furthermore, this day represents an attempt to ally an 
>attention to the historicity of film and television with a consideration 
>of the politics of media representation.  For example, how might gender, 
>sexuality, class and ethnicity be continually constructed, represented and 
>remembered through the production and consumption of period film and 
>television?
>
>
>
>We welcome studies that combine a range of theoretical and methodological 
>perspectives such as: Reception Theory, Semiotics, Feminism, Marxism, 
>Theories of Difference including Queer theory, and Audience Studies. 
>Possible topics might include:
>
>
>
>(Re)writing of history through the production and consumption of period 
>film and television.
>
>Classification of period film and television by industry and audiences  
>usage of period, heritage, historical.
