CFP- Exploring British Film and Television Stardom

updated: 
Thursday, February 28, 2013 - 7:57am

Exploring British Film and Television Stardom Conference
Saturday, 2 November 2013 at Queen Mary, University of London
Supported by Living British Cinema

Keynote speakers: Dr. Melanie Bell (Newcastle University) and Dr. Andrew Spicer (University of the West of England)

While British cinema and television history are thriving fields of scholarship, the issue of stardom has been insufficiently explored in national terms, and most British star images suggest that the dominant Hollywood model, associated with individualism, glamour, and consumption, sits uneasily in a British cultural context.

"Utopia as Literary Cartography; or, the Other Spaces of the World System"

Special Session Call for Papers
Deadline April 15, 2013

Raising questions about what it means to "live" in a state of 'always

Writers have also regularly intoxicated themselves to aid the creative process, or to escape the pressure of artistic creation and the monotony of humdrum reality.
