ECREA Film Studies section FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
!Deadline: 28 February 2010!
ECREA 2010 -- 3rd European Communication Conference
Transcultural Communication -- Intercultural Comparisons
Hamburg, Germany, 12-15 October 2010 www.ecrea2010hamburg.eu.
The Film Studies section of the European Communication Research and
Education Association (ECREA) invites paper, panel and poster proposals
within the broad area of film studies for the forthcoming conference in
collaboration with the Hans Bredow Institute, and the University of
Hamburg and the Hamburg Media School in Hamburg, Germany from 12 to 15
October 2010. The general theme of the conference is 'Transcultural
Communication -- Intercultural Comparisons'.
Ranging from early cinema experiences in European metropolis, to the
contemporary blockbuster multiplexes, film has always been at the
forefront of European popular culture. The film studies section invites
contributions that deal with film in a broad variety of aspects: film as
content, as cultural artefact, as commercial product, as lived
experience, as cultural and economic institution, as symbolic field of
cultural production, as media technology, etc. We strive towards
methodological openness and multilevel approaches on the study of
historical and contemporary cinema: film text, context, production,
representation and reception. Cultural studies perspectives, historical
approaches, political economy, textual analysis, audience research all
find its place within the section.
We hope to see you in Hamburg!
