International Conference 
on Mermaids,Maritime Folklore, and Modernity

24-27 October 2017, Copenhagen, Denmark










This interdisciplinary conference addresses mermaid and related creatures from folklore, myth, legend, and the imagination in 19th-21st Century culture.



The past decades have seen an explosion of mermaid imagery in global popular culture, across cinema, television, literature, music, design, performance, cosplay, and web-based forms. Mermen, selkies, sirens, and newer figures such as caecelia and merlions have also come to prominence. From Hans Christian Andersen’s story ‘The Little Mermaid’ to Jennifer Donnely’s WaterFire Saga, from Curtis Harrington’s Night Tide to Stephen Chow’s The Mermaid (美人鱼), from Edvard Eriksen’s iconic ‘The Little Mermaid’ statue to Banksy’s Dismaland distortion, from the Weeki Wachi Springs mermaid show to the digital mermaids at Macau’s City of Dreams, mermaids have served as figures of romance, horror, comedy, mystery, lust, and adventure across countless media and cultural practices.


Cultural globalisation has granted mermaid associations to numerous non-western creatures and deities. Representations of aquatic spirits from around the world (West Africa’s Mami Wata, Thailand’s Suvannamaccha, Indonesia’s Nyai Loro Kidul, Russia’s rusalka, Brazil’s Iara, etc.) increasingly influence and are influenced by western mermaid culture. This process historically occurred in the West itself, as figures from Mesopotamia and Classical antiquity influenced Medieval and Early Modern European perceptions and interpretations of encounters with aquatic beings.








About the conference.

On 24-25 October, delegates will visit mermaid-related sites and engage in Copenhagen’s local culture. On the evening of 25 October, delegates will visit the enchanting Tivoli Gardens amusement park. Conference presentations will take place at VerdensKulturCentret on 26-27 October.

4th International Conference on Media and Popular Culture


13-14 January 2018
Leeds, United Kingdom
Conference venue: Queens hotel, City Square, Leeds, LS1 1PJ










RATIONALE
It is an unobjectionable fact that media participate in formation of our daily lives by creating identities, images, and by generally influencing our views. This applies not only to politics (i.e. political campaigns), but also to the formation on how we see ourselves and others, e.g. women, ethnic groups, religious groups, etc. Agenda setting research has established decades ago that media set public agendas, and tell us both what to think about (agenda setting) and how to think about a certain issue (media framing). Popular culture, on the other hand, also affects our daily lives by fostering images and ideologies, and by selling a way of life that is presented as acceptable or non-acceptable. All these influences form our daily lives and views of others, and while the media and popular culture do not influence all people, on all issues and at all times, they do have a significant influence on our views and actions. These and other issues are the subject of the conference.









Papers are invited (but not limited to) for the following panels:
Media and identity
Media and political campaigns
Media and discrimination
Women in the media
Media Bias
Media and democracy
Media and human rights
Popular culture
Media and memory
Media and history
History of media and popular culture
Media and diplomacy
Audience studies
Media and religion
Media and Business
Agenda setting and media framing theories
Prospective participants are also welcome to submit proposals for their own panels. Both researchers and practitioners are welcome to submit paper/panel proposals.







Submissions of abstracts (up to 500 words) with an email contact should be sent to Dr Martina Topić (martina@socialsciencesandhumanities.com) by 15 December 2017
Conference fee is GBP180, and it includes
The registration fee

International Conference
When the Music Takes Over.
Musical Numbers in Film and Television
University of Salzburg, 8 – 10 March 2018


Keynote Speakers:
Richard Dyer (King’s College, London)
Amy Herzog (Queens College, New York)













Call for papers
Musical numbers have served as constitutive elements of cinema since its early days in the so-called silent period. From the musical moments in silent films emerged the film musical as a specific genre. Musical numbers remain central components beyond generic categories and have succeeded from early sound film musicals to recent TV shows.

In this conference we want to focus on “musical moments” in fictional film and television. Musical numbers in fictional films have been analyzed according to their functions and their relation to the narration. Expanding these issues from numbers in (mostly) film musicals, Amy Herzog (2009, 7) defines “musical moments” as scenes or sequences that occur “when music, typically a popular song, inverts the image-sound hierarchy to occupy a dominant position in a filmic work. The movements of the image, and hence the structuring of space and time, are dictated by song.” If musical moments are not subjugated to the filmic narrative, the focus of their scholarly analysis is able to shift from narrative functions and motivations towards issues such as affect, performance, musical and filmic style and structure, visual musicality, configurations of cinematic time and space, gender construction, modes of audience address, reception, fan culture and more broader philosophical questions about the ontology of cinema. Examining “musical moments” can sharpen our view on cinema in general and can stimulate new theoretical and methodological approaches in the field.

This international conference strives to establish a dialogue between researchers from various disciplines in order to develop new directions for the analysis and interpretation of one of the most crucial elements in filmmaking and one of the pivotal issues of film music research.

We invite proposals for individual papers, pre-constituted panels and poster presentations that explore the manifold research potentials of musical moments on screen(s).

The European Conference on Arts and Humanities 2017 (ECAH2017)


The Jurys Inn Brighton Waterfront, Brighton, United Kingdom
uesday, July 11 - Wednesday, July 12, 2017

Abstract Submission Deadline: April 30, 2017
Registration Deadline for Presenters: June 1, 2017














Conference Theme: “History, Story, Narrative”



Historians are far from the only interested party in writing history. In a sense it is an interest we all share – whether we are talking politics, region, family birthright, or even personal experience. We are both spectators to the process of history while being intimately situated within its impact and formations.

How, then, best to write it? Is it always the victor’s version? Have we not begun increasingly to write “history from below,” that lived by those who are not at the top of the power hierarchy? Are accounts of history always gender-inflected, hitherto at least men rather than women? Who gets to tell history if the issue is colonialism or class? How does geography, the power of place, intersect with history? What is the status of the personal story or narrative within the larger frame of events?

This conference addresses issues of writing history from literary and other discursive perspectives. That is to say: novels, plays, poems, autobiography, memoir, diary, travel log, and a variety of styles of essay. One thinks of Shakespeare’s history plays, Tolstoy’s War and Peace, Shi Nai’an’s The Water Margin, Balzac’s La Comédie Humaine. It also addresses oral history, the spoken account or witness, Hiroshima survivor to modern Syrian migrant

Which also connects to the nexus of media and history. The great “historical” films continue to hold us, be it Eisenstein’s October: Ten Days That Shook the World (1925) or Gone with the Wind (1940). We live in an age of documentaries, whether film or TV. There is a view that we also inhabit “instant” history, the download to laptop, the app, the all-purpose mobile. How has this technology changed our perception, our lived experience, of history? What is the role of commemoration, parade, holiday, festival, or statuary, in the writing of history?

The different modes by which we see and understand history, flow and counter-flow, nevertheless come back to certain basics.

One asks whether we deceive ourselves in always asking for some grand narrative. Can there only be one narrator or is history of necessity a colloquium, contested ground? Is national history a myth? And history-writing itself: is it actually a form of fiction, an artifice which flatters to deceive? What, exactly, is a historical fact?

This conference, we hope, will address these perspectives and others which connect and arise.

For the fourth consecutive year, The European Conference on Arts & Humanities will be held alongside The European Conference on Media, Communication & Film. Registration for either of these conferences will allow participants to attend sessions in the other.

In conjunction with our global partners, we look forward to extending a warm welcome to you in Brighton.
