European Media and Cultural Representation

Complete Details

Located in the iconic Lowry at Salford Quays—the heart of the UK's MediaCity—this conference focuses on the intersection of European television and cultural identity. In the framework of Critical Studies in Television, we examine how "national" television services are evolving into transnational platforms. The event asks: How does television represent European heritage in an era of global streaming dominance? Is there still a place for specific national cultural representations when content must appeal to a global audience?

The two-day conference features speakers from across the continent, bringing together diverse perspectives on how the medium of television serves as a tool for both cultural preservation and soft power. We will host panels on "The Representation of Conflict and Peace in European Media" and "Post-Digital Television Archives." This conference is designed to provide attendees with relevant skills and knowledge regarding current trends in media representation and upcoming technology. It provides a vibrant community where ideas thrive and innovation takes center stage, specifically looking at how the "Structure of Feeling" in Europe is broadcast to the world.

Key Event Highlights

Keynote: "The Future of European Cultural Identity on Screen." Panel on Transnational Television Co-productions. Discussion on the role of TV archives in preserving cultural heritage. Networking lunch overlooking MediaCityUK. Awards ceremony for outstanding research in European media studies.
