The theme of this series, women, ageing and media, stems from an absence of sustained investigation into proliferating print and screen representations of older women. One of its innovative features is its aim to link academics from different cultural and intellectual backgrounds and to position emerging research on 'older women' in media and cultural studies alongside established research in healthcare policy, gerontology, economics, social care and sociology that dominates existing knowledge (Rosenthal, 1990, Hepworth 2000, Bernard et al 2000, Arber et al 2003).A second valuable and timely feature of the series is its development of theoretical understandings. Some recent attempts at developing frameworks to explore ageing and media have usually been constitutive of broader approaches to ageing and/or gender (Blaikie, 1999; Feldman and Poole, 1999; Woodward 1999; Featherstone and Wernick 1995) and only partly attend to the unique position that women occupy in relation to media representations of ageing and old age. A tradition of feminist research on ageing (e.g. de Beauvoir 1970; MacDonald and Rich, 1983) has recently been updated and drawn together (Cruikshank 2002, 2006), but only some aspects of this address media specifically and generally little attention is paid to non-Western images. The seminars we propose represent an opportunity for academics to interrogate this theory and to assess it in relation to contemporary media images, existing knowledge produced in health and social care, economics and the social sciences, and through trans-cultural and international dialogue.Thus, a third strength of this proposal is in its commitment to engaging with scholars, established and emerging, from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Drawing on research in the China and South Asia regions is of particular importance for generating understandings of women and ageing in our global media context. This means that our proposed international conference will be embedded in questions of globalization as the global flow of media images and texts generates a media ecology of competing and conflicting representations of older women.Each seminar/workshop event is designed to have a mix of newer and more established scholars. The final element is an international conference which brings together the participants of the workshops/seminars with a selection of international scholars. Below, we set out the thematic focus of each seminar/workshop together with a list of indicative speakers.Seminar one: Visibility and Invisibility Co-ordinator Dr Josephine Dolan, University of the West of EnglandProf. Tara Brabazon, Brighton University, UKEstella Tincknell, UWE, Bristol UKAb Gardner, University of Gloucestershire, UKSeminar two: Emotion and Affect Co-ordinator, Dr Kristyn Gorton, University of YorkProf. Sara Ahmed, Goldsmiths College, University of London, UKProf. Denise Riley, University of East Anglia, UKMary Eagleton, Leeds Metropolitan University, UKSeminar three: Monstrous Body and Scary Femininity Co-ordinator: Dr Jo Garde-Hansen, University of GloucestershireDr Julie Doyle, Brighton University, UKIrmi Karl, Brighton University, UKRina Rossleson, University of the Third Age, UKSeminar four: Commodification and Consumerism / Co-ordinator Dr Sherryl Wilson, University of GloucestershireProf. Karen Ross, Liverpool University, UKSadie Wearing, London School of Economics, UK Dr. Julia Hallam, Liverpool University, UKInternational Conference: Crossing Cultures: Women, Ageing and Media / Co-ordinator Dr Ros Jennings, University of GloucestershireDr. Kate Omenugha, Awka University, Awka, NigeriaProf. Stella Chinyere Okunna, Awka University, Awka, NigeriaProf. Kathleen Woodward, University of Washington, USADr. Leung, Lai Ching, City University of Hong KongDr. Chan, Shun-hing, Lingnan University, Hong Kong Prof. Vivian Sobchack, UCLA, USA.

本系列的主题“女性、老龄化和媒体”源于缺乏对老年妇女的印刷和屏幕表现形式的持续调查。其创新特征之一是旨在将来自不同文化和知识背景的学者联系起来，并将媒体和文化研究中关于“老年妇女”的新兴研究与主导现有知识的医疗保健政策、老年学、经济学、社会护理和社会学方面的既有研究放在一起（Rosenthal, 1990, Hepworth 2000, Bernard et al 2000, Arber et al 2003）。第二个有价值和及时的特点是它的理论认识的发展。最近一些发展框架来探索老龄化和媒体的尝试通常构成了更广泛的老龄化和/或性别方法（Blaikie, 1999； Feldman和Poole, 1999; Woodward 1999； Featherstone和Wernick 1995），并且只是部分地关注妇女在老龄化和老年的媒体表现中所占据的独特地位。关于老龄化的女性主义研究传统（例如de Beauvoir 1970； MacDonald and Rich, 1983）最近得到了更新并汇集在一起（Cruikshank 2002, 2006），但只有这些研究的某些方面专门针对媒体，一般很少关注非西方形象。我们提议的研讨会为学者们提供了一个机会，可以对这一理论进行质疑，并根据当代媒体形象、卫生和社会保健、经济和社会科学方面产生的现有知识，以及通过跨文化和国际对话，对其进行评估。因此，该提案的第三个优势在于它致力于与来自不同文化和种族背景的知名和新兴学者进行接触。借鉴中国和南亚地区的研究成果，对于在全球媒体背景下加深对妇女和老龄化问题的理解尤为重要。这意味着我们提议的国际会议将嵌入全球化问题，因为媒体图像和文本的全球流动产生了老年妇女代表相互竞争和冲突的媒体生态。每个研讨会/工作坊活动的目的是让新学者和更成熟的学者混合在一起。最后一个要素是国际会议，将讲习班/研讨会的参与者与精选的国际学者聚集在一起。下面，我们列出了每个研讨会/工作坊的主题重点以及指示性发言人名单。研讨会一：可见性和不可见性协调员Josephine Dolan博士，西英格兰大学教授。Tara Brabazon，英国布莱顿大学；stella tinknell，英国布里斯托尔大学；ab Gardner，英国格洛斯特郡大学；研讨会二：情绪和情感协调员，krisstyn Gorton博士，约克大学教授。萨拉·艾哈迈德，英国伦敦大学金史密斯学院教授丹尼斯·莱利，英国东安格利亚大学玛丽·伊格尔顿，英国利兹城市大学研讨会三：畸形的身体和可怕的女性气质协调员：英国格洛斯特大学乔·加德-汉森博士、英国布莱顿大学朱莉·道尔博士、英国布莱顿大学朱莉·多伊尔博士、英国布莱顿大学伊尔米·卡尔博士、英国第三时代大学里娜·罗斯里森博士、英国研讨会四：商品化和消费主义/协调员、格洛斯特大学谢丽尔·威尔逊博士、教授。Karen Ross，英国利物浦大学sadie Wearing，英国伦敦经济学院Julia Hallam博士，英国利物浦大学国际会议：跨文化：女性，老龄化和媒体/协调员Ros Jennings博士，格洛斯特大学Kate Omenugha，尼日利亚奥卡大学教授Stella Chinyere Okunna，尼日利亚奥卡大学教授凯瑟琳·伍德沃德，美国华盛顿大学。香港城市大学梁丽清博士香港岭南大学陈顺兴教授美国加州大学洛杉矶分校Vivian Sobchack教授
