Conference Theme

Over the past decade, Cyfrwng has worked to build bridges between the 
scholarly community and the creative industries in Wales. The aim of 
this conference is to examine the relationship between theoretical and 
practical approaches to the media, film, performance, writing, music and 
the creative industries more generally. Proposals are invited from 
academics, practitioners and those who seek to combine both roles.

Areas of interested may include, but are not limited to

    *
      The development of the creative industries in Wales and beyond
    *
      Practice-led approaches to research and scholarship
    *
      Production studies as an academic discipline
    *
      The theory and practice of cultural work
    *
      Media education and training
    *
      Partnerships between industry and academia


Proposals which focus on Wales, the Celtic nations, minority and 
lesser-used languages and smaller nations will be prioritised when 
selecting participants. However, proposals that examine the conference 
themes from all nations and regions will be considered.

Galwad am Bapurau - Cynhadledd Dengmlwyddiant Cyfrwng

Diwydiant creadigol: Pontio theori ac ymarfer

24 a 25 Gorffennaf, 2014

Bangor, Cymru, DU


Thema’r Gynhadledd

Ers degawd, mae Cyfrwng wedi gweithio i godi pontydd rhwng y gymuned 
ysgolheigaidd a’r diwydiannau creadigol yng Nghymru. Nod y gynhadledd 
hon yw archwilio’r berthynas rhwng ymdriniaethau theoretig ac ymarferol 
o’r cyfryngau, ffilm, perfformiad, ysgrifennu, cerddoriaeth a’r 
diwydiannau creadigol yn fwy cyffredinol. Gwahoddir cynigion oddi wrth 
academyddion, ymarferwyr a’r rheiny sy’n ceisio cyfuno’r ddwy rôl.

Gall meysydd o ddiddordeb gynnwys y canlynol, ond nid ydynt yn 
gyfyngedig iddynt:

    *
      Datblygiad y diwydiannau creadigol yng Nghymru a’r tu hwnt.
    *
      Dulliau â phwyslais ar ymarfer o ymdrin ag ymchwil ac ysgolheictod.
    *
      Astudiaethau cynhyrchu fel disgyblaeth academaidd.
    *
      Theori ac ymarfer gwaith diwylliannol.
    *
      Addysg a hyfforddiant ym maes y Cyfryngau.
    *
      Partneriaethau rhwng diwydiant a’r byd academaidd.


Pan ddewisir cyfranogwyr, cynigion sy’n canolbwyntio ar Gymru, y 
gwledydd Celtaidd, ieithoedd lleiafrifol ac â defnydd llai a 
chenhedloedd llai a gaiff flaenoriaeth. Fodd bynnag, ystyrir cynigion 
sy’n archwilio themâu’r gynhadledd o’r holl genhedloedd a rhanbarthau.

Dengmlwyddiant Cyfrwng

Cyfrwng yw’r gymdeithas yng Nghymru ar gyfer astudiaethau’r cyfryngau a 
disgyblaethau cysylltiedig. Sefydlwyd Cyfrwng ym Mangor yn 2004 ac, ers 
degawd, mae wedi gweithio gydag academyddion a gweithwyr proffesiynol yn 
y cyfryngau, yng Nghymru a’r tu hwnt. Wrth i Cyfrwng gychwyn ar ei ail 
ddegawd, mae’n awyddus i ehangu ar rychwant ei weithgareddau, ac i 
gynyddu ei gysylltiad ag academyddion ac ymarferwyr ar draws y byd.
