[ecrea] CfP: Children's Media and Texts in a Mediatized World, Aarhus University

*Call for Papers: Children's Media and Texts in a Mediatized World*

Conference at Aarhus University, Centre for Children's Literature

30 May – 1 June 2017

Children and young people live in a mediatized world in which 
literature, other visual and verbal texts, media and platforms converge 
and coalesce. Established notions of producers and users, target groups, 
genres and literary forms and experiences are thereby challenged. Users 
and readers are ascribed with new forms of agency, while at the same 
time children confront an increased commercialization and demands for 
standardized schooling and academic achievements. At this conference we 
wish to examine these challenges, bringing together scholars from 
children's literature studies, media studies and adjoining fields.

_Topics may include, but are not limited to:_

    ·Children’s and young people's everyday life with (digital) media

    ·Children's literature in a new media landscape

    ·Children and young people as consumers and producers of texts and 
media

    ·Children's media and texts in family life and schools

_Confirmed keynote speakers:_

    ·Rebekah Willett, University of Wisconsin-Madison

    ·Ute Dettmar, Goethe Universität, Frankfurt

    ·Björn Sjöblom, Stockholms Universitet

    ·Philip Nel, Kansas State University

_Deadline for abstracts_ (max. 300 words) and a 100-word biography: 1 
December 2016 to Sarah Mygind, (smyg /at/ cc.au.dk) <mailto:(smyg /at/ cc.au.dk)>
