This symposium explores the staging of intimacy on and off-screen in the wake of #MeToo. For the past two years, as part of a British Academy funded study into intimacy coordination in the UK, Professor Tanya Horeck (ARU) and Dr Susan Berridge (University of Stirling) have interviewed intimacy coordinators and those they collaborate with, to investigate how the profession of intimacy coordination is influencing television production cultures and helping to engender new ways of depicting sex, intimacy, and consent. In this symposium Horeck and Berridge will discuss the project’s findings with a particular focus on how notions of intimacy are being expanded and redefined. Themes of consent, community, gender, sex education, and activism will be discussed as we consider what is at stake in the attempt to restructure television cultures according to an ethos of care and collaboration.

Professor Helen Wheatley will present on research from her forthcoming book on TV Death, ‘Television Auto/Pathographies: Caring for the documentary subject before, during and after death’ and Professor Helen Wood will present on the outline for new AHRC funded research (with Dr Jilly Boyce Kay and Dr Jack Newsinger) on Reality Television, Working Practices and Duties of Care: ‘From ‘duties’ of care to caring practices of production: a framework for the analysis of the labour processes of unscripted TV’. **

These academic talks will be followed by a panel discussion with intimacy coordinators, Adelaide Waldrop, Robbie Taylor Hunt, and Pia Rickman.
