History of Critical Reception: "Media and Reception"
Abstract deadline: April 15

This session will explore media interventions in readers' reception of
literature. How has mass communication (radio, print journalism, 
television, or film) historically and more recently shaped meaning 
making? How do new media (electronic/post-digital communication) affect 
conditions for construction, reception, or rejection of texts? In what 
ways do readers use media to form interpretive or literacy communities 
across gender, age, education, culture, and geography, among other 
boundaries?

We welcome papers that examine:

Virtual, textual, and cinematic audiences
The reception of e-books and blooks
The cultural translation of literature into film, performance art, or 
other genres
Historical or current serialized fiction
The formation of book clubs and other reading communities as facilitated 
by electronic or other media
