[ecrea] Call for Papers - International Conference on the relationship between literature and the media in Small Nations

Mon Jan 09 20:23:01 GMT 2012


*International Conference on the relationship between literature and the media in Small Nations*

*12 -- 13 July 2011*

* *

*Academi Hywel Teifi, Swansea University*

*CALL FOR PAPERS*

*Deadline for proposals: 1 March 2012*

Cyfrwng is currently seeking presentations for its annual conference to be held at Academi Hywel Teifi, College of Arts and Humanities, Swansea University, Wales. We are seeking submissions from academics, arts and media practitioners, and policy makers in the following fields of study: Film, Television, Radio, Journalism, New Media and Theatre and Performance.

Cyfrwng 2012 aims to discuss the relationship which exists between literature and the media within Small Nations. Here in Wales, and especially in the Welsh language, a close relationship has developed between our literary canon and the dramatic productions which are seen on our screens. We hope through this conference to share experiences and ideas about that relationship, its influence and the reaction to it.

Proposals for papers, complete discussion panels, workshops, screenings and performances discussing any aspect of the conference theme are welcomed, including, but not limited to:

    * The means by which literary texts are adapted for a variety of
      platforms
    * Audience responses and reactions to literature on various platforms
    * The role of the media as a means of developing new audiences for
      literary works
    * The relationship between a minority language and literature on
      the stage and screen
    * The effect of dependency on literary adaptations on the
      development of new creative ideas
    * The work of key creative individuals via a variety of platforms,
      e.g. poets and the radio; dramatists on stage/screen; novelists
      on the screen.

We invite those engaged in intellectual work within existing institutions, such as Universities, but also those engaged in the arts and media professionally to share their ongoing work.

Papers should be no more than 20 minutes in length, but we will consider other timescales for short performances, screenings etc. We would also consider proposals for small-scale exhibitions. Proposals for complete panels will also be welcome. Please send proposals of around 300 words (for individual papers) together with a short biography to the following address: (e.price /at/ abertawe.ac.uk) <mailto:(sblandfo /at/ glam.ac.uk)>

*Cynhadledd Ryngwladol ar berthynas llenyddiaeth â'r cyfryngau mewn Cenhedloedd Bychain*

*12 - 13 Gorffennaf 2011*

*Academi Hywel Teifi, Prifysgol Abertawe*

*GALWAD AM BAPURAU*

*Dyddiad cau ar gyfer cynigion: 1 Mawrth 2012*

Gwahoddir cyflwyniadau ar gyfer cynhadledd flynyddol Cyfrwng a gynhelir gan Academi Hywel Teifi, Coleg y Celfyddydau a'r Dyniaethau, Prifysgol Abertawe, Cymru. Gwahoddwn gyflwyniadau gan academyddion, ymarferwyr y celfyddydau a'r cyfryngau, a gwneuthurwyr polisi, yn y meysydd astudiaeth canlynol: Ffilm, Teledu, Radio, Newyddiaduraeth, Cyfryngau Newydd, Theatr a Pherfformio.

Bwriad Cyfrwng 2012 yw trafod y berthynas a geir rhwng llenyddiaeth a'r cyfryngau a hynny mewn Cenhedloedd Bychain. Yma yng Nghymru, ac yn enwedig yn y Gymraeg, fe geir perthynas agos rhwng ein canon llenyddol a'r cynyrchiadau dramatig a welir ar ein sgriniau a'n llwyfannau. Gobeithir yn y gynhadledd hon rannu profiadau a syniadau am y berthynas honno, ei dylanwad a'r ymateb iddi.

Croesewir cynigion ar gyfer papurau, paneli trafod cyflawn, gweithdai, dangosiadau a pherfformiadau yn trafod unrhyw agwedd ar thema'r gynhadledd, gan gynnwys, er na chyfyngir ceisiadau i'r pynciau canlynol:

    * Y modd yr addasir testunau llenyddol ar gyfer llwyfannau amrywiol
    * Ymateb y gynulleidfa i lenyddiaeth ar amrywiol lwyfannau
    * Rôl y cyfryngau wrth fagu cynulleidfaoedd newydd ar gyfer
      gweithiau llenyddol
    * Y berthynas rhwng ieithoedd lleiafrifol a llenyddiaeth ar y
      llwyfan a'r sgrin
    * Effaith dibyniaeth ar addasu llenyddiaeth ar feithrin syniadau
      creadigol newydd

Gwahoddwn y sawl sy'n ymwneud â gwaith deallusol mewn sefydliadau fel prifysgolion, a hefyd y sawl sy'n ymwneud â'r celfyddydau a'r cyfryngau yn broffesiynol, i rannu eu gwaith.

Ni ddylai papurau fod yn fwy nag 20 munud o hyd, ond byddwn yn ystyried amrywiol amseroedd ar gyfer perfformiadau byr, dangosiadau a.y.b. Byddwn hefyd yn ystyried cynigion ar gyfer arddangosfeydd bychain. Croesewir hefyd gynigion ar gyfer paneli trafod cyflawn. Danfonwch gynigion o oddeutu 300 o eiriau (ar gyfer papurau unigol) ynghyd â bywgraffiad byr i'r cyfeiriad canlynol os gwelwch yn dda: (e.price /at/ abertawe.ac.uk) <mailto:(sblandfo /at/ glam.ac.uk)>
