The University of Calgary is located on traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations).  The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III.  The traditional Blackfoot name of the place we now call Calgary is “Moh’kins’tsis” .

Console-ing Passions 2025

International Conference on Television, Video, Audio, New Media, and Feminism

Georgia State University

Atlanta, Georgia

June 27-29, 2025

Call for Papers

In the contemporary media landscape, films are remade, television shows rebooted, videogames reimagined in a seemingly endless loop of reproduction. Reproduction, in the form of AI, was also at the heart of recent media industry labor actions.  While the concept of reproduction has various meanings across media production, programming, and technology, it is foundationally about efforts to extend lineages. At Console-ing Passions 2025, we hope to initiate conversations about reproduction as a politics of agency, authorship, autonomy, and value-creation. The conference will take place on June 26-28, 2025 at Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA, a city that is home to artists, activists, and leaders who strive to live up to the legacy of the city as “the cradle of civil rights.” We invite presentations that broadly consider the concept of reproduction as it applies to texts, economic systems, and labor practices. We welcome approaches that consider the role of civil rights, political action, and labor movements in both the U.S. and a global context in relation to this topic.

The 2025 Conference Organizing Committee in the School of Film, Media, and Theatre at Georgia State University<https://fmt.gsu.edu/> invites proposals for individual papers and pre-constituted panels that consider the conference theme of Reproduction and any other aspects of television, video, audio, or new media through gender, sexuality, race, and/or other systems of inequality.

To submit your proposals please access our submission form here<https://forms.gle/H5hPNxgkRfSxJD9z9>.

Submissions Due December 10th

Notifications begin January 31st
