[ecrea] Current Thinking on the Western III conference

Thu May 05 21:15:55 GMT 2016





*Current Thinking on the Western III*

14-15 June 2016

University of Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK.

A conference convened by Dr Lee Broughton (Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow, University of Leeds) with Dr Mark Goodall (University of Bradford).
Keynote speakers:

*Professor Sir Christopher Frayling* (Professor Emeritus of Cultural History, Royal College of Art).

*Alex Cox* (filmmaker (Repo Man, Straight to Hell, Walker, Sid and Nancy) and academic practitioner, University of Colorado).

2015-16 is proving to be a significant year for the Western. The Hateful Eight, The Revenant and Bone Tomahawk have all enjoyed critical success and there is every indication that we may be about to enter a period of renewed public interest in the genre. As ever, the genre in all of its multifarious forms continues to inspire new and fruitful avenues of academic research.

This two-day event seeks to draw together international scholars of all levels (independent scholars, postgraduate research students, early career researchers & established researchers) and media practitioners whose work engages with the Western on film.

The two rates for Current Thinking on the Western III are £90 for members of academic institutions and £50 for students and members of the public.

Both rates include:

      lunch and refreshments on both days
entry into the /The Good, the Bad and the Ugly/ 50th anniversary event (evening of 14th June) entry into the 'Revisiting Cult Westerns II' seminar (teatime on 13th June)
