*May, 31 and June, 1, 2018 *

Universidad de Oviedo, Spain – University Historical Building

Musical discourses and images of popular dances were essential for the 
conformation of cinema in the first half of the 20th century, as well as 
for the configuration of national cultural identities in the incipient 
mass markets. These representations were part of a fluid and dynamic 
traffic of signs, sounds and images within the framework of a transmedia 
model, in constant dialogue with the stereotypes configured by most 
consolidated cinemas, such as Hollywood.

The division of the world between ‘Americans’ and the ‘others’, the most 
representative image and music flow exchange, resulted in a policy that 
eclipsed ethnic and cultural differences in a particular world view that 
crossed national borders. This homogenizing exoticism opened the debate 
around what was national authenticity, as well as realism and ‘for 
export’. Thus, images of the national were conformed as frontier spaces 
where there was an important traffic of signs and elements that, 
according to the case, merged, agglutinated or were put in tension.

This conference promotes the study and research of cultural identities 
articulated in cinema, in which music plays a prominent role. It also 
establishes an interdisciplinary framework that bridges musicology, film 
studies, cultural studies, sociology and audiovisual communication. 
Among the main topics of study are:

-National, border and ‘for export’ cinemas

-Cinema, stars and cultural industries

-Cultural identities

-Performance, corporality and gender studies

-Subgenres and author cinema

-Promotion, advertising and reception of cinemas in the margins

-Animation film

-Music in new cinema consumption devices

All proposals dealing with any of the topics mentioned above or any 
other contribution on related topics will be welcomed. The results of 
the conference will be published in a renowned publication.
