1st Global Conference: 'Skins' and Contemporary Culture (Exploring Critical Issues)

1st Global Conference
'Skins' and Contemporary Culture

Tuesday 25th September 2012 – Thursday 27th
September 2012
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom

Call for Papers:
Now in its sixth series on E4 in the UK and first
series on MTV in the US, the brainchild of
father-son writing team Bryan Elsley and Jamie
Brittain has gained popularity and critical
acclaim for the honesty, authenticity and humour
of its no-holds-barred depiction of the teenage
experience. In a reflexive turn, Skins has become
a cultural phenomenon whose influence is
registered through its status as essential teen
viewing, the Skins party craze and the tendency
among fans to perceive their own identities and
experiences in relation to characters and
situations from the show. The richness of Skins as
a televisual text supports wide-ranging
explorations of the show's aesthetic, thematic,
ideological, social and technological implications.

We therefore invite papers and preconstituted
panels that address any aspect of Skins, such as:

* Representations of teenage life and teen culture
* Identities: gender, class, race, sexualities
(hetero-, homo-, bi-, fluid, queer, etc.)
* Death and the concept of mortality
* Mental illness/psychology/psychoanalysis
* Fandom
* Transnational reception
* Analysis of fanvids, fanfics, fanart
* Assessments of the meaning/cultural
significance of specific storylines (c.f. the
Naomily phenomenon)
* Plotline controversies and moral panics
* Adapting Skins for the American market
* Narrative and storytelling
* Creator/showrunner as author
* Genre analysis
* Modes of comedy
* Defining the 'Skins aesthetic'
* Uses of inter-textuality/pop culture allusions
* Fashion
* Music
* Space and place: Bristol on screen
* Skins novels
* Acting and performance
* Cameos and guest stars
* Fame and celebrity
* Production process studies
* Technologies of production, distribution and
reception in the post-broadcast era
* Skins and Channel 4/E4/MTV
* Comparative analyses of Skins and other
television shows

For 2012, the Skins and Contemporary Culture
project will meet alongside our project on Gender
and Love It is our intention to create cross-over
sessions between the two groups – and we welcome
proposals which deal with the relationship between
gender and love and Skins and contemporary
culture. Papers will also be considered on any
related theme. 300 word abstracts should be
submitted by Friday 16th March 2012. If an
abstract is accepted for the conference, a full
draft paper of no more than 3000 words should be
submitted by Friday 22nd June 2012. Abstracts
should be submitted simultaneously to both
Organising Chairs; abstracts may be in Word,
WordPerfect, or RTF formats with the following
information and in this order:

a) author(s), b) affiliation, c) email address, d)
title of abstract, e) body of abstract, f) up to
10 keywords
E-mails should be entitled: SKINS Abstract Submission.

Please use plain text (Times Roman 12) and abstain

challenges, including integration of social media
into an institution-wide marketing plan,
maintaining control of your institution's online
brand and demonstrating return on investment to
stakeholders. The Social Media Marketing in

current issues at hand and examine practical
strategies to overcome the barriers.
