Meeting Description: 

To address the ever-increasing interest in the study of film and television series, the Department of English and the Department of American Studies will co-host a conference mainly addressed to students and young researchers. The conference will explore narrative film and TV series from two vantage points: the perspective of pragmatics and the perspective of narratology.

Sessions will be devoted to student- and young researcher-paper presentations  (PhD and, MA, relevant seminars to be offered in both departments), as well as external contributors.

Please note that there is no conference fee for this event.
