of television, culture, and identity. Since its first conference at the University of Iowa in 1992, Console-ing Passions has expanded to become not only the most important conference for scholars studying gender in television but also among the top conferences
for feminist scholars of media more broadly.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In 2027, Console-ing Passions comes to Amsterdam under the theme
<b>Provocations</b>. Our motto takes inspiration from Amsterdam’s Provo movement and Roel van Duyn’s proposition that provocations are
<i>aanleidingen</i>: they serve as catalysts to create occasions (or the Provos’ favorite word, “happenings”) in which pre-existing as well as emergent conflicts and contradictions become visible. Amsterdam offers a resonant history for thinking about provocation
in these terms, from the Provos’ playful interventions in public life to feminist and queer actions that used disruption and media visibility to challenge established norms and inequalities. In line with this genealogy, we envision CP 2027 becoming such an
occasion: a provocative space for feminist media scholarship to encounter, question, and rework its objects, histories, methods, and futures. </span></p>

of power and inequality. Proposals need not address the conference theme, but we particularly welcome reflections on what provocation might mean for feminist media studies. How have media and media practices been provocative, and how do understandings of what
is “provocative” change and collide? Who gets to provoke, and who is presumed to be provocative by speaking, appearing, desiring, refusing, embracing or making media? What happens when boundaries between media, disciplines, generations, publics, or forms of
knowledge are disturbed? How might provocation operate epistemologically or methodologically, making different objects, archives, relations, pleasures, or ways of knowing perceptible? And what might such questions provoke us to reconsider about the histories,
boundaries, and futures of feminist media scholarship itself?</span></p>
