Mon Oct 19 23:53:09 GMT 2015




*CFP: ITALY AND ITS AUDIENCES: 1945 TO THE PRESENT*

*Oxford Brookes University, 7-8 July 2016*

In recent years studies of audiences and reception in the Italian
context have flourished, both in relation to cinema (see Fanchi 2014;
Casetti and Fanchi 2006; Fanchi and Mosconi 2002; Treveri Gennari,
Hipkins and O’Rawe 2011) and television and new media (see Barra 2015;
Scaglioni 2013; Penati 2013). This work situates itself in the broader
context of analyses of the empirical spectator in Anglo-American film
history (see Allen 2006, 2007, 2011; Biltereyst, Maltby, and Meers 2012;
Maltby 2011). The conference aims to bring together for the first time
scholars working on spectators and audiences of Italian film,
television, and new media. We particularly welcome contributions in the
following areas:

  *

    Methodological approaches: oral history, ethnography, statistical
    surveys, mapping audiences

  *

    Genre and star reception by audiences

  *

    Gender, class, race and sexuality

  *

    Geographical and topographical emphases in audience work: rural and
    urban, North and South, centres and peripheries

  *

    Diaspora and mobility: audiences outside Italy/audiences within
    Italy consuming non-Italian productions

  *

    Audience behaviours and fan cultures

  *

    Memorabilia and material culture

  *

    Age and generations within spectatorship

*Submissions should be:*

250-300 word abstracts with a bibliography of 3-4 titles.

Abstracts should be submitted by 30th January 2016 to the conference
organisers at:

(italiancinemaudiences /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(italiancinemaudiences /at/ gmail.com)>

Abstracts should follow this order:

 1.

    author(s), b) affiliation, c) email address, d) title of abstract,
    e) body of abstract, f) bibliography

E-mails should be entitled: Italy and its Audiences Abstract Submission.

We will acknowledge receipt and answer to all paper proposals submitted.
If you do not receive a reply from us in two weeks, you should assume we
did not receive your proposal.

Pre-formed panels are welcome and papers can be submitted both in
Italian and in English.
