Hi all, We are hosting a conference that might be of interest for those of you who do your internet research through a feminist lens. See below for the CFP: Console-ing Passions 2022 will be held at the University of Central Florida in Orlando June 23-25th, 2022. The Organizing Committee invites proposals for individual papers, pre-constituted panels, and pre-constituted roundtables that consider television, video, audio, or new media through an intersectional lens including gender, sexuality, race, and/or other systems of inequality. We also welcome proposals for video, audio, or new media creative works related to intersectional approaches to modes of identity. This year’s theme is “Reinvention.” We see this theme as an opportunity for reflection on the influence of the pandemic on both media industries and our own media scholarship, but also as a call to consider the role of a feminist lens in pushing for reimaginings of our institutional structures and inequities. Submissions might also consider the ongoing process of “Reinvention” in the media landscape, from the ubiquitous reboots and revivals to the restructuring of industries. As we return to in-person conferencing, we are cognizant of questions of access, equity, and impact associated with convening in physical space. To support this process of reflection and reimagining, CP Orlando will be a hybrid event, with opportunities for virtual participation. Submissions are due October 1.
