Authored Cultures / Authoring Cultures Negotiating Control over Media Texts
Authored Cultures / Authoring Cultures: Negotiating Control over Media Texts is an international conference that seeks to examine the theoretical and practical transformations of the roles of authors and readers.
Suggested themes include but are not limited to:
- Authorship: contested, (re)negotiated, (re)confirmed, (de)constructed
- Author(ity), power and control
- Gendering, decolonising and queering authorship: situating marginalised authors
- Questioning normativity: authorship and disability
- Subversive strategies and techniques for contesting and re-writing media texts
- Performing, narrating, and personalizing culture
- Authorship and transmedia storytelling
- Dissemination of texts and meanings; ownership and responsibility
- New models of authorship – and readership – for new media (digimodernist, participatory or network authorship)
