International Conference "Representation of Diversity in Mediated Popular Culture in the Twenty-First Century"
Monday, June 10 - Tuesday, June 11, 2024
Erasmus University Rotterdam
Campus Woudestein, Burgemeester Oudlaan 50, 3062 PA Rotterdam, Netherlands
By inviting presentations from academics, students, and practitioners from a variety of backgrounds and specialisms, this International conference understands that discussions on diversity cannot be reduced to calculating on-screen presence but should rather aim to take a more holistic perspective and interrogate how diversity on screen materializes through production processes and audience discourse. This two-day conference seeks to foster a transdisciplinary and international dialogue on how diversity is depicted, received, and produced in contemporary visual popular culture, from its traditional forms (TV series, films) to the latest evolutions (global social media platforms), thereby embracing Hall’s concept of culture as a continual process of deconstruction and construction of meaning (1997).
