This conference builds on the Television Studies conference (University
of Queensland, Brisbane 2000) and the Television History Conference
(Powerhouse, Sydney 2005). It aims to bring researchers together to
discuss a broad range of topics in the following strands:

 

********** television history and historiography

********** television and the national

********** television and the transnational

********** television and genre

********** television comedy

 

Issues to be addressed include but are not limited to: new approaches to
television historiography; the extent to which television history is
bound up with the national (in terms of audiences, ratings, formats,
critical reception, popular memory, policy, regulation); the proposition
that some television genres, such as comedy, variety, sport and current
affairs, are less likely to join the global flow of television  than
others; the extent to which international trade in television formats is
underpinned by ideas of the trans/national.
