Mon Jan 23 16:17:11 GMT 2017






*Theorising the Popular Conference 2017*


Liverpool Hope University, June 21^st -22^nd 2017

The Popular Culture Research Group at Liverpool Hope University is delighted to announce its seventh annual international conference, ‘Theorising the Popular’. Building on the success of previous years, the 2017 conference aims to highlight the intellectual originality, depth and breadth of ‘popular’ disciplines, as well as their academic relationship with and within ‘traditional’ subjects. One of its chief goals will be to generate debate that challenges academic hierarchies and cuts across disciplinary barriers.


The conference invites submissions from a broad range of disciplines, and is particularly interested in new ways of researching ‘popular’ forms of communication and culture. In addition to papers from established and early career academics, we encourage proposals from postgraduate taught and research students.


Possible topics include, but are not limited to:


  * Film and Television
  * Media and Communication
  * Politics and Populism
  * Literature (Fiction and Non-Fiction)
  * Music
  * Drama and Performance
  * Fan Cultures and Audience Research
  * Sport
  * Celebrity
  * Social Media
  * Gender:

Feminism/Femininities/Masculinities/Queering/Sexualities/Representations
    of the Body
  * Language/Linguistics

The conference will be held at Liverpool Hope’s main campus, Hope Park. Situated in a pleasant suburb of Liverpool, just four miles from the city centre, Hope Park offers superb facilities in beautiful surroundings.


Papers should be 20 minutes in length. Please send abstracts of 300 words to Dr Jacqui Miller and Dr Joshua Gulam ((ttpconference /at/ hope.ac.uk) <mailto:(ttpconference /at/ hope.ac.uk)>) by March 17^th 2017. The abstract should include your name, email address, affiliation, as well as the title of your paper.


Successful abstracts will be notified by April 3^rd 2017.


Conference fees: £100 for both days, including lunch and all refreshments (£80 for students).
