CFP: Style and Response: Minds, Media, Methods
The CFP for an upcoming conference, Style and Response: Minds, Media, Methods, has been extended until Friday 27th May 2016.
Style and Response aims to share and debate reader-response methods and thus investigate how real readers, players, audiences, and viewers respond to, experience, and interpret texts. In particular, this interdisciplinary symposium will focus on topics such as: the style in which readers respond to a variety of narrative forms (e.g. fiction, poetry, theatre, digital narratives, computer games, film and TV, news broadcasts, political discourse, and other non-fiction including health publications); the methods that we can use to capture and analyse those responses; the ways in which those responses can be used in the analyses of texts across a variety of media.
The conference will take place on Friday 11th and Saturday 12th November 2016 at Sheffield Hallam University (UK) with the following keynote speakers:
Dr. Ranjana Das, University of Leicester.
Prof. Melanie Green, University of Buffalo.
Dr. David Peplow, Sheffield Hallam University and Dr. Sara Whiteley, University of Sheffield.
Dr. Bronwen Thomas, Bournemouth University.
