[Commlist] Eat/Play/Tweet: An Interdisciplinary Conference on Storytelling and Identity in Popular Culture

*Eat/Play/Tweet*

*An Interdisciplinary Conference on Storytelling and Identity in Popular 
Culture*

https://www.popculturecentre.org/cfp**

*The Popular Culture Research Centre (Auckland University of Technology) 
welcomes papers for its upcoming interdisciplinary conference on the 
theme of ‘storytelling and identity’ in popular culture. The conference 
will be held in Auckland on 7-9 July 2020.*

*The conference aims to bring together researchers in the field, and 
foster important interdisciplinary scholarly conversations in popular 
culture. Practices of storytelling are at the centre of the ways in 
which popular culture disseminates information. *

*From film to television, from Twitter accounts to the latest fandom 
trend, popular culture provides us with an arena where our narratives of 
the everyday can transform from immaterial notions to very material and 
tangible objects of consumption. Popular culture is privileged in its 
ability to both reflect and influence our identities, and the way we 
live, in our twenty-first century context.*
