International Conference on Television, Video, Audio, New Media & Feminism April 10-12, 2014 Columbia | Missouri 140129_cov.indd 1 4/3/14 7:47 AM Co n s o l e - i n g Pa s s i o n s 2014 I n t e r n a t i o n a l Co n f e r e n c e o n Te l e v i s i o n , Au d i o, V i d e o, N ew M e d i a a n d F e m i n i s m Console-ing Passions was founded in 1989 by a group of feminist media scholars and artists looking to create a space to present work and foster scholarship on issues of television, culture, and identity, with an emphasis on gender and sexuality. The original board included Julie D’Acci, Jane Feuer, Mary Beth Haralovich, Lauren Rabinowitz, and Lynn Spigel. Console-ing Passions is not a membership organization, but is instead comprised of a board of scholars whose interests converge around the study of media. The first Console-ing Passions conference was held at the University of Iowa in 1992. Fr o m t h e U n i v e r s i t y o f M i s s o u r i O r g a n i z i n g Co m m i t t e e : Many times we have heard Console-ing Passions attendees exclaim that this conference is the highlight of their academic year, and that they take the spirit of the conference back with them to their respective institutions to help maintain their motivation and purpose. We, too, love the community Console-ing Passions has built through its twenty-two year commitment to feminist research and feminist practices. To engage and cultivate the amazing community CP has fostered, we have stitched the 2014 program with events we hope will initiate dialogues and deepen perspectives. Friday’s Mentor Luncheon, for example, endeavors to put graduate students and junior faculty in conversation with twelve innovative and prominent senior scholars. Similarly, we’ve invited feminist media scholars whom we feel push boundaries on method, agendas, and identities to Thursday’s Opening Plenary and Saturday’s Keynote Address to engage, stretch, and strengthen our notions of feminist media scholarship. This is, of course, in addition to more than fifty panels, workshops, and screenings featuring YOU! Thank you so much for coming to Console-ing Passions 2014—we are so happy you are here. Enjoy these three days of feminist community and scholarship. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to improve your experience! Melissa A.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in photojournalism and a doctorate in English from the University of Missouri. Among his writing credits, he is the author of Blue Highways, which spent 42 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in 1982–83. William Least Heat-Moon lives and writes outside Columbia, Missouri. as the epic trip itself. More than thirty years after his 14,000mile, 38-state journey, William Least Heat-Moon reflects on the four years he spent capturing the lessons of the road trip on paper—the stops and starts in his composition process, the numerous drafts and painstaking revisions, the depressing string of rejections by publishers, the strains on his personal relationships, and many other aspects of the toil that went into writing his first book. Along the way, he traces the hard lessons learned and offers guidance to aspiring and experienced writers alike. Far from being a technical manual, Writing Blue Highways: The Story of How a Book Happened is an adventure story of its own, a journey of “exploration into the myriad routes of heart and mind that led to the making of a book from the first sorry and now vanished paragraph to the last words that came not from a graphite pencil but from a letterpress in Tennessee.” UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI PRESS Hardcover | 978-0-8262-2026-4 | $24.95 eBook | 978-0-8262-7325-3 | $24.95 Preorder now at [email protected] or call (800) 621-2736 University of Missouri Press For more information, visit: http://press.umsystem.edu The UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI PRESS was founded in 1958 by William Peden, writer and dedicated member of the university’s English Department faculty.

The book series is devoted to work that critically examines video games and engages the broad range of social and cultural issues they engender. The series will offer books addressing a variety of questions, including: What values or ethics do games convey? What are the social, political, and environmental implications of the production and manufacture of videogames? How do video games intersect with other forms of public discourse and media? How are social relations mediated by video games? How do video games reform the social construction of race, gender, and sexuality?
