[ecrea] CFP #Resist

*CFP: #Resist: Protest and Resistance Media in Brexit Britain and 
Trump-era USA*


Date of Event: 8th March  2018

Name of Organization: Centre for Media Research, and the Arts and 
Humanities Research Institute Ulster University, Northern Ireland

Contact Email: (hashtagresist2018 /at/ gmail.com)

Organisers: Dr Giuliana Monteverde and Dr Victoria McCollum (Ulster 
University)

Deadline for Abstracts: *30th November 2017*

We invite papers that explore protest and resistance in relation to 
Brexit Britain and the Trump-era United States. We are interested in 
media created /in response/ to these seismic periods of political 
change, media created in the period/ leading up to/ them, and media that 
more broadly deals with themes related to populism, politics, and power. 
As well as discussing media that can be seen as protest or resistance, 
this event will consider media forms that fail to resist, or those that 
merely hint at protest. In doing this we can also consider the 
responsibility of media creators to engage in and respond to political 
shifts and crises.

As well as focusing on media texts themselves, the discourses around 
them, and the political potentials within them, we wish to consider the 
broader ramifications and responsibilities of living through periods of 
extreme political turmoil. Do we bring these texts and conversations 
into our classrooms? Do we discuss them with family and friends? What is 
the role of popular media in creating and facilitating conversations 
about social injustice, political participation, and critical literacy?
