The aim is to facilitate further discussion, propose research topics and develop methodologies. The emphasis will be placed upon process rather than completed projects.
Proposals are invited for short 10 minute presentations, identifying a research question and proposed methodology, problems and solutions.
Papers will be welcomed on any aspect of the following:
1.Crossover between film/theatre/literature/art/TV (how stories get told – adaptation/translation/circulation of fictions and seriality).
2.Translations and transitions:
o national to local/regional to local (reception and reactions),
o nation to nation (performance traditions, cultural myths, storytelling forms--reception and reactions). Imported series on domestic TV, and French visions of foreign fictions,
o language adaptation (dubbing, subtitling; linguistic, technological, aesthetic, institutional and media problems).Travelling narratives - importations/exportations, translating cultures.
3.Representations of professions/professionals (law, medicine).
