Call for papers

*Landscapes in Television Drama Series*
International research colloquium.
Aarhus University, 28-29 September 2017

In contrast to film and literature, cinematic geography and landscapes 
in television drama series is a fairly new and emerging research field. 
Many recent television drama series include a significant use of places 
and landscapes including panorama aesthetics, cityscapes, snowscapes and 
seascapes. This tendency is related to new aesthetic standards for 
television drama series in general, new screen technologies, location as 
production value, and a general fascination and commodification of 
places and landscapes in global consumer cultures. Furthermore, to 
understand the aesthetic, cultural, political and economic aspects of 
cinematic landscapes in television drama, we need to develop 
perspectives across disciplines such as geography, art history, media 
and creative industries.

We are happy to invite researchers to join us for this event where we 
gather international leading scholars within the field. And - Thursday 
night we will have (terroir) beer tasting :-).
