[ecrea] Phd Seminar: Genre and the Media

The Department of Media and Communication (University of Oslo) is 
organising a PhD-seminar on 'Genre and the Media' led by Prof. Anne 
Jerslev (University of Copenhagen) and Prof. Annette Hill (Lund 
University), 20-21 November 2018.

The aim of this PhD seminar is to discuss the concept of genre and the 
broader transformations of genres in a digital era in which the blurring 
of boundaries challenge our conceptual understandings of media culture 
on many levels. In a time of cross media production, audience 
participation and the appearance of new ways of communicating on social 
media, the question arises: How should we understand genre today?

Presentation of a short paper is mandatory. We welcome papers covering 
all aspects of genre and all media related to PhD students’ 
dissertations. Papers may be about questions of cross media and genre; 
questions of audience participation and genre; discussions of genre 
innovation and blurring of boundaries between genre and other concepts 
trying to differentiate levels and forms of communication. It is 
required that all participants read all short papers and there will be a 
reading list as well. Finally, the PhD course includes a session about 
the writing of a PhD dissertation.

Deadline for registration: 1 September 2018
