Podcasting Poetics
11-12 October 2019
Alyn Euritt (Leipzig)
Patrick Gill (Mainz)
The past fifteen years have seen podcasting emerge as a form
increasingly confident of its own virtues and the constructive affordances it
can bring to bear on storytelling. As Dario Llinares, Neil Fox, and Richard
Berry suggest in Podcasting: New Aural Cultures and Digital Media, “podcasting
has transitioned into a new phase, a ‘new aural culture’, with its applications
and effects requiring wider interdisciplinary conceptual approaches” (4). To
this end, our conference sets out to investigate the history of this new
medium’s development as well as the present state of podcasting poetics.
Participants are invited to present papers from a variety of
perspectives, which may include, but are by no means limited to, the following:
- narratology, seriality, and form
- audiences and listening publics
- interactivity and fan culture
- monetisation
- affect and intimacy
- relation to other media (including radio drama, audiobooks, smart speakers)
- position within convergence culture
- aurality
We are pleased to announce that Richard Berry will be the keynote
speaker.
Please send suggestions for 20-minute conference presentations to
patrick.gill@uni-mainz.de by April 30, 2019. Abstracts should extend to no more
than 300 words and be accompanied by a short biographical note.
