>Cinemas, Identities and Beyond:
>St. Andrews-Glasgow Postgraduate Conference
>University of St. Andrews, Scotland
>10 November 2006
>
>The exploration of identity is one of the most contested and thought-provoking
>contemporary subjects. As a dominant and penetrating cultural form, cinema
>conditions and shapes the manner in which we interpret issues of identity and
>space. Our understanding of representation, narrative conventions, film form,
>industry issues and a host of other 
>socio-political factors related to cultural
>production and consumption powerfully define our ever changing ideas of
>identity.
>
>This AHRC funded one-day event is run entirely 
>by postgraduate students from the
>Universities of St. Andrews and Glasgow.  We are primarily seeking to bring
>together PG students from Scotland and the North of England but we will also
>consider abstracts from those studying further afield. Successful applicants
>will use film in their work as a means of 
>understanding and interpreting issues
>of society, culture, and identity.  We invite participants from a range of
>disciplines: Film, television and cultural studies, languages, comparative
>literature, anthropology, and area studies.
>
>We will interpret the conference theme broadly. Papers exploring the following
>areas are particularly welcome:
