UCD's Innovation Dublin 2009 Events on October 17

The following UCD events will take place on October 17 as part of Innovation Dublin 2009.  

Title Television Cities Conference
Dates 16 to18 October
Summary This international conference will examine the multiple ways in which cities are embedded in processes of televisual representation, production and consumption. Television is a privileged medium of urban (post) modernity. It works to render ‘the city’ legible, providing sensory and cognitive maps of social spaces and relations; it both mirrors and shapes perceptions of the time and space, the rhythms and settings, of urban existence; and it mediates fears and desires about the city as a space of human encounter.
Plenary Speakers Anna McCarthy, New York University and Allison McCracken, DePaul University.
Location UCD William Jefferson Clinton Institute and the UCD William Jefferson Clinton Auditorium, UCD, Belfield, Dublin 4
