[Commlist] COSME PGR Symposium

Call for papers - Centre for Converged Screen Media and Entertainment 
(COSME) – 1st Annual COSME PGR Conference - University of Liverpool – 
Wednesday 1st of May

Keynote speaker: Dr. Becky Bartlett from the University of Edinburgh

The 1st Annual COSME PGR conference, “Screen Convergences: Pasts, 
Presents, and Futures”, addresses the profound and complicated ways 
screen media have been shaped by cultures of convergence. The Centre for 
Converged Screen Media and Entertainment (COSME) is an interdisciplinary 
research centre based at The University of Liverpool that aims to 
examine the often radical ways in which media convergence has impacted 
screen entertainment. Focusing on technological, industrial, cultural 
and economic dimensions of this process, COSME interrogates the ways 
that industry practices are influenced by cultures of convergence and 
seeks to understand the rapid transformations that permeate screen media 
and the entertainment they produce.

For our inaugural conference, we invite abstracts from Postgraduate 
Researchers exploring any aspect of screen media convergence, whether 
focusing on screen industries, cultures, aesthetics, technologies, or 
histories. The scope of this event is intentionally broad in the hopes 
of facilitating new networks of communication and collaboration.

To that end we welcome any papers that examine screen convergence – 
possible topics could be:
Screen Convergence and Streaming and VOD (YouTube, Netflix, and IMDB)
Screen Convergence and Social Media (Tik Tok, X, and Instagram)
Screen Convergence and Hollywood Current Trends in TV, Film, and Media
Screen Convergence and the Past – (Cable Television, Music Videos, and 
Network TV)
Screen Convergence and Music
Screen Convergence and Technology
Screen Convergence and Disability, Race, Gender, and Sexuality
Screen Convergence outside Hollywood (The Global South, Emerging 
Markets, Historically Neglected Markets)
Screen Convergence and above-the-line and below-the-line labour – 
precarity, unemployment, and power
Screen Convergence and the Future

This conference will be held across one day at the University of 
Liverpool’s main campus on Wednesday 1st of May -exact venue TBD.
 Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words. Please include a 50 word
