Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media, in association with the 
Irish Audiences Research Network, announces a one-day international 
symposium on the subject of cinema and memory, which will take place at 
University College Cork on Friday November 22, 2019

We are delighted to welcome Professor Annette Kuhn, Emeritus Professor 
in Film Studies, Queen Mary, University of London, as our Keynote speaker.

We invite abstracts for papers or media/film presentations, no longer 
than 20 minutes, on the topics of memory & cinema; memory in film; or 
cinema-going memories. We are especially interested in papers that 
explore new methodologies for research/ data gathering and 
dissemination/visual capturing.

Possible topics might include:


§ Cinema and cultural memory: case studies
§ Cinema-going memories, nostalgia, ideology
§ Lacunas in memory
§ Selection and memory
§ Memory recall: pleasures and pain
§ Memory and the archive
§ Cinema memory and Digital Humanities
§ Nostalgia & affect
§ Individual vs. collective memory: theories and concepts
§ “Spontaneous memory”/ “collapse of memory”
§ Structuring of memory/social formations
§ Memory and the State in film or in memories of cinema-going

Abstracts of 200 words can be submitted on or before August 23rd 2019 to 
symposium organisers, Daniel O’Connell and Gwenda Young (Dept. of Film 
and Screen Media, University College Cork), at
