The 5th Annual MA in Film and Media Studies Conference presents papers by the class of 2023 that address questions about sending and receiving, whether messages or cultures, signals or signs, from “here to there” or the over time “from…to” one historical time to another. And considers the transmissibility of some things but not others; the translatability or untranslatability of cultural works as well as representational taboos; the circulation of or inculcation into something else. Modes of dissemination, whether distribution, broadcasting, or streaming.
