Culture-Media-Text Research Centre Symposium 'The Defining Moment' 23 April 25: Call for Papers
The Culture-Media-Text Research Centre invites proposals for papers for its annual symposium. The 2025 symposium will take place on 23 April; the theme is loosely based on time/temporality, or, more specifically, a ‘defining moment'.
As an open and collaborative centre, CMT welcomes proposals from e.g. artists/authors/film makers and other creative individuals alongside researchers at all levels. The theme is intended to be as open and inclusive as possible, stimulating discussion on temporality as it intersects with culture, media and/or texts.
Papers can address the concept of time generally or reflect on a defining moment as an inspirational turning point, or they could prompt us to consider how a defining moment is represented in, or relevant to, our conception of the world. The theme extends to include theoretical views of time, such as time and history, changing times, threads or ‘seeds of time’, a moment in time and moments/events that have defined us, or might do.
