European Film and Media Culture
Northern Lights 2005

Editor: Ib Bondebjerg
 
 
The 2005 issue of Northern Light focus on European Film and Media Culture and invites articles that focus on European film- and media culture in a historical and contemporary perspective
European film- and media culture is often identified with art film and public service TV, and this is certainly an important, distinctive contribution to the global media culture. However in the last 10 years great changes have taken place in Europe, partly due to the European integration and the rise of new forms of co-financing and co-operation in the area of European mainstream films and due to important tendencies in low budget films and dogma films. European film culture seems to be on the move from crisis to revival. Public service television on the other hand seems threatened in many countries, although in some countries public service still has a large audience and for instance national news, documentaries and national TV-fiction are important key genres in European national broadcasting.
The articles we are looking for are broadly defined within the following areas:

• Case Studies of European  film and film genres  
• Case studies of European  tv-programs, tv-series and  tv-formats  
• Comparative European  studies of media and media audiences  
• Analysis of media  politics and  European media programmes  
• Case studies of national  media cultures in relation to European and global processes  
• Aspects of media  convergence and digitalisation for media institutions,  programming  strategies  
• Media and the European  public sphere
  

Abstracts of approximately 400 words should be sent by e-mail to editor Ib Bondebjerg ((bonde /at/ hum.ku.dk)) no later than August 5, 2004. Deadline for manuscipts will be 15/2 2005
