[ecrea] Call for Papers Cyfrwng Conference 2012

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

12 – 13 July 2012

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)

Cenhedloedd Bychain

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

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)
