[ecrea] CFP: #Resist: Protest and Resistance Media in Brexit Britain and Trump-era USA

Fri Dec 01 15:11:18 GMT 2017





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

Date of Event: 8th March 2018 (Belfast)

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: 16th December 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?
