"The purpose of the November conference is to share current research and to develop a series of monographs on
the 19th century press, the Civil War and the press, the Civil War in fiction and history, 19th century concepts
of free expression, images of race and gender in the 19th century press, presidents and the 19th century press,
and sensationalism and crime in 19th century newspapers. Papers from the first five conferences were published
by Transaction Publishers in 2000 as a book of readings called The Civil War and the Press. Purdue University
Press is publishing papers from past conferences in three distinctly different books titled Memory and Myth: The
Civil War in Fiction and Film from Uncle Tom’s Cabin to Cold Mountain, Words at War: The Civil War and American
Journalism, and Seeking a Voice: Images of Race and Gender in the 19th Century Press. "The symposium is sponsored by the George R. West, Jr. Chair of Excellence in Communication and Public Affairs, the Frank McDonald Chair of Communication, the UT-Chattanooga Department of Communication, the UT-Chattanooga Department of History, the Chattanooga Times Free Press, WRCB-TV Channel 3, and the Hazel Dicken-Garcia Fund for the Symposium." - Symposium Website Please visit the Symposium's all new website: Check here for details on the call for papers for the upcoming 2008 symposium: |
