Please send a brief abstract (200-300 words) and biographical statement (50-100 words) to [email protected] or [email protected] by December 1, 2009. Full papers will be due in fall 2010. This collection of essays responds to the recent surge of interest in popular television in Eastern Europe, including both contemporary and historical studies. This increased attention follows the New Europes transition from state-controlled, relatively isolated national media systems to an increasingly integrated European media sphere thoroughly permeated by processes of globalization and media convergence. Televisions transformation has been especially spectacular, evolving from a state-controlled broadcast system delivering national, regional, and heavily filtered Western programming to an increasingly deregulated, multi-platform, transnational system delivering predominantly American and Western European entertainment programming. Consequently, the nations of Eastern Europe provide opportunities to examine the complex interactions among economic and funding systems, regulatory policies, globalization, imperialism, popular culture, and cultural identity. We intend this collection as the first serious effort to establish critical television studies in relation to Eastern Europe. Essays may address any aspect of popular television in Eastern Europe, including the following: the histories of socialist and postsocialist television; national and regional program flows during socialism and today; the socialist satellite system; television program trade; censorship; East-West connections during socialism and today; cross-border television, convergence and globalization; Europeanization, television and national identity; gender and television in Eastern Europe; quality TV; educational television; childrens television; popular television genres (e.g. soap operas, serial dramas) and television formats (e.g. reality shows, game shows); fandom and stardom; nostalgia; advertising; television and new media; television and film; socialism, consumerism, and consumption.
