Call for Papers:
“Performing Stardom”: New Methods in Critical Star Studies

Friday 29th May, 2015
NoRMMA (Network of Research: Movies, Magazines, Audiences), University 
of Kent, UK


NoRMMA invites proposals for an interdisciplinary conference on 
non-traditional approaches to star studies research. The one-day event 
will be held at the University of Kent on May 29th, 2015.


                                 Confirmed keynotes:

Dr Catherine Grant, University of Sussex
    Dr Kieran Fenby-Hulse, Bath Spa University


The event will focus on ways to explore film studies research through 
non-traditional approaches. Examples include: performance, video essays, 
interpretative dance, creative fiction/non-fiction, poetry, music, and 
any kind of multimedia project. Through this symposium, we would like to 
explore the connections between scholarship and fandom, research and 
creativity, the benefits and disadvantages of exploring an (audio)visual 
art through (audio)visual means, and the development of the innovative 
and ever-emerging field of practice as research.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

- Star studies
- Film History
- Fan magazine research
- Audience reception studies
- Archival research
- Genre studies
- Aspects of film analysis


Potential contributors should submit abstracts of 300 words and a short 
biography to (normma.network /at/ gmail.com) by Friday 27th February, 2015.
