Add to Calendar 2021-05-06 11:00:00 2021-05-06 14:30:00 (Italian) Media Studies Today Symposium How might we broaden the horizons of what is usually understood as Italian media studies to ask questions Italianists might not normally ask? Is the field one, or a multiple assemblage?  What new insights can the field bring to the pressing global questions of our day through critical race theory and ecocriticism? What would it mean to cross-pollinate the study of film and television, the usual purview of Italianists, to include digital studies and the digital humanities?   The (Italian) Media Studies Today conference brings together scholars doing exciting work in these fields, who do not necessarily take (Italy) as its object.  To switch up methodologies and frameworks, the conference will be structured as a series of conversations, not rigid papers, so that we can think fluidly about where our fields are, how they converge and where they are going.   Confirmed Speakers: Luca Barra, University of Bologna Cecilia Brioni, Trinity College Dublin Nicola Camerlenghi, Dartmouth College Elisa Farinacci, University of Bologna Gaia Giuliani, University of Coimbra Shelleen Greene, University of California, Los Angeles Alan O’Leary, Aarhus University Catherine O’Rawe, University of Bristol Elena Past, Wayne State University Arielle Saiber, Bowdoin College Visit the following link to register for the event: https://osu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMlcOygpjstE9M731JNAavgknyBsSpZvABN This conference is brought to you by the Department of French and Italian and FIGSA, the graduate student association of the Department, with generous financial support from the Council of Student Affairs.   Conference Organizers: Demetrio Antolini, Jonathan Mullins, Dana Renga If you require an accommodation such as live captioning to participate in this event, please contact Dr. Dana Renga.
