We invite papers across diverse interpretations of the topic,

* Relationships between new media, convergence culture, period
films/dramas, historical narratives and adaptation, including Web 2.0,
case studies in cross-media promotion, convergence relationships with
online archives, and ?new? remediation strategies in the
heritage/museum/cultural sectors
* Historical narratives, period genres, reception, audiences and fandom
* Retro nostalgia
* Contemporary history on screen
* Developments in heritage and post-heritage cinema(s)
* Historical documentaries and docudramas
* Biopics
* Constructions of national histories and historical nationalisms
