[ecrea] CFP Theorising the Popular Conference

*Theorising the Popular Conference 2018*

Liverpool Hope University, July 11th-12th 2018

Deadline for abstracts: March 23, 2018

The Popular Culture Research Group at Liverpool Hope University is 
delighted to announce its eighth annual international conference, 
‘Theorising the Popular’. Building on the success of previous years, the 
2018 conference aims to highlight the intellectual originality, depth 
and breadth of ‘popular’ disciplines, as well as their academic 
relationship with and within ‘traditional’ subjects. One of its chief 
goals will be to generate debate that challenges academic hierarchies 
and cuts across disciplinary barriers.

The conference invites submissions from a broad range of disciplines, 
and is particularly interested in new ways of researching ‘popular’ 
forms of communication and culture. In addition to papers from 
established and early career academics, we encourage proposals from 
postgraduate students.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

  * Film and Television
  * Media and Communications
  * Politics and Populism
  * Popular Protest
  * Literature (Fiction and Non-Fiction)
  * Music
  * Drama and Performance
  * Fan Cultures
  * Sport
  * Celebrity
  * Social Media
  * Games Studies
  * Gender:

Feminism/Femininities/Masculinities/Queering/Sexualities/Representations
    of the Body

The conference will be held at Liverpool Hope’s main campus, Hope Park. 
Situated in a pleasant suburb of Liverpool, just four miles from the 
city centre, Hope Park offers superb facilities in beautiful surroundings.

Papers should be 20 minutes in length. Please send abstracts of 300 
words to Dr Joshua Gulam and Dr Jacqui Miller ((ttpconference /at/ hope.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(ttpconference /at/ hope.ac.uk)>) by *March 23rd 2018*. The abstract 
should include your name, email address, affiliation, as well as the 
title of your paper.

Successful abstracts will be notified by April 9th 2018.
