[ecrea] Call for Papers: MEDIA IN THEATRE – THEATRE IN MEDIA

The University of the Arts Târgu-Mureș announces :

*/MEDIA IN THEATRE – THEATRE IN MEDIA /*

*XIII. INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THEATRE STUDIES *

* *

*Târgu Mures (Romania) , 16-17 November  2012*


The media universe of the 20^th and 21^st centuries has changed not only 
our daily lives and our conception about reality, but the modes of 
artistic expression as well. The aim of our conference is to reveal 
firstly the process of mediatization taking place in theatre (and 
related arts), and secondly the theatricality of contemporary media 
(both in everyday life and on stage). One question refers to the impact 
of our media-rooted world on performances that do not actively use new 
media. What is the role of new media and their influence on the actor’s 
work? How does the use of media transform concepts such as text, image, 
gaze or performativity? The question of theatrical memory needs to be 
reformulated as well. New data come with advantages and new problems due 
to the possibility of recording and recycling stage performances in 
other media, on film, in analog and later in digital format.

We welcome papers from university scholars, researchers, doctoral 
students. Languages of the conference are English, French, Romanian and 
Hungarian. The length of a presentation is 15 minutes.

We offer assistance for booking accommodation.

Deadline for application and submission of abstracts is *29 October 
2012*. Abstracts of maximum 200 words, in Romanian, Hungarian, English 
or French should be sent to: (csep_zoltan /at/ yahoo.com) 
<mailto:(csep_zoltan /at/ yahoo.com)>. Following peer review, papers are to be 
published in SYMBOLON, the theatre studies periodical of the university.
