The Dickens Society is inviting short papers for this event, to be held online on June 6. For those interested, a short abstract and bio is due tomorrow (sorry I didn’t see this earlier to let you know before!). For those who can’t see the Instagram post, I will copy and paste the announcement below:
“For this Dickens on Screen virtual event, we invite short papers of no more than 10 minutes, to be recorded as a video presentation with slides, on any aspect of Dickens in relation to screen culture. Contributions on more recent, individual adaptations are very welcome, as are more wide-ranging discussions of Dickens’s varied global screen history and reconsiderations of Dickens as a cinematic novelist. Papers will be assessed on the basis of their contribution both to our understanding of Dickens and also to the study of his screen afterlives.
The event will be held in the early afternoon (Eastern Daylight Time) on Saturday June 6th. During the session, the video presentations will be shared and a live discussion with time for questions will follow. Accepted speakers will be expected to attend the live online event on June 6th, and further guidelines on recording videos will be provided in due course.
Please send abstracts of 100-200 words and a short bio to the organiser, Chris Louttit, at chris.louttit@ru.nl by May 11th. Decisions will be sent to speakers by May 13th, and video presentations should be shared with the organiser by May 31st. Any queries should be emailed to the address above.
