Call for Papers
Deadline: May 30th  2011
Conference:
The conference „Screening Gender“ looks at the construction of gender via moving pictures / moving images as we defines screen. We know screen can be defined in various contexts, but we will look at screens in the technical definition. Screens can be all technical devices that show moving images, such as the traditional media television and cinema, but also the new media, such as internet /You-Tube or other channels), mobile media (cell phones or subway TV) or computer games.
We want to know, how visual representations on various screens lead to new gender constructions and norms. Possible questions are: How has the audience reacted to the diversification of screens, is there a cross-media gender reception? Has the presentation of gender changed? Can we find a new discourse of doing and undoing gender? Do new production limitations and situations lead to new constructions and deconstructions of gender?
To discuss these aspects we welcome papers to the following topics from all communication and media studies perspectives:
1.	Production
Here we want to look at the production side of moving images. What role do gender constructions play on the side of the (female) producers, artists or journalists – how have these constructions changes through new media and have the production context changed?
2.	The moving images: Content and Aesthetics
Has the presentation of gender changed through new screens?
3.	Audiences and Reception
How have audiences changed and their reception. Can we see gender specific changes and differences through new screens?
We welcome papers or panels to one of these topics. The conference language will be mainly in German, with English sections.
