SPACE IN OUR TIME: EXPLORING THE FRONTIERS OF
SCREEN AND LIVE PERFORMANCE SPACE
Journeys Across Media (JAM) 2011 is the 9th
annual international conference for postgraduate
students, organized by postgraduates working in
the Department of Film, Theatre & Television at
the University of Reading. It provides a
discussion forum for current and developing
research in film, theatre, television and new
media. Previous delegates have welcomed the
opportunity to gain experience of presenting
their work at different stages of development in
the active, friendly and supportive research
environment of Film, Theatre & Television at the
University of Reading. This year JAM will be
guest-editing the Autumn issue of Intellectâ??s
Journal of Media Practice and in 2012 an
associated journal to the conference will be
launched, providing further opportunities for
new researchers to publish their work and interact with established scholars.
Non-presenting delegates are also very welcome.
The 9th JAM conference seeks to address issues
of space in performance, media and wider society
and instigate discussions about space across
disciplines, practices and fields of research.
Space in performance and media is constantly
shifting. Emerging technologies and new models
of physical spaces have radically shaped our
conceptions and experiences of performing, the
world and our performing within that world.
Artistic experimentation in live performance
tests and contests space as a
neutral/political/liminal/active zone. Through
innovative spatial delineations and/or site
specific work, contemporary theatre and
performance challenge conventions of text and
space, performance and institution and
performance and audience. Issues of space are
increasingly central to performance studies and
the experience of live performance. The growing
popularity of companies such as Secret Cinema
reflect the importance of the exhibition site
for cinema and possibilities for cross-media
events. The organisation and handling of space
on screen can reveal the conceptual reality of a
time, rather than just function as background.
Studies of the cinematic screen continue to
focus on ideological articulations through
oppositions, such as on-screen/off-screen space,
interior/exterior, centre/periphery,
inclusion/exclusion in space. Meanwhile,
televisual spaces continue to change both in
terms of on-screen representation and how the
television as an object inhabits space,
particularly in relation to its online
dissemination and the proliferation of products which facilitate its access.
This is a call for postgraduates engaging in
contemporary discourses around space to submit
papers for the JAM 2011 conference; topics may
include, but are not restricted to:
Cross-disciplinary/inter-disciplinary spaces
National/International space; Globalisation
Centrality â?? Marginality of/in space
Gendered spaces
Space and memory
Critical masses (people in space)
Space as a character
Absence/non-place
Time and Space in performance
Architecture and performance
Immersion and illusion in contemporary performance spaces
Space in Contemporary art
Ownership and accountability
Ontology of space
