Professor Chitty:

Here is the final program for the NEQTAR/MMR joint session.  Sorry for 
the delay in getting it to you.


                        Program

 Network for Qualitative Television Audience Research
                          and
        Working Group on Media, Myth and Ritual

     Working Roundtable on Theory and Methodology
   in Current Reception Research: Studies of Meaning
                     and Ontology

Papers and presentations to this program will come from
reception research in progress.  They represent three
large-scale efforts to map new conceptual and
theoretical territory.  Media theory has long sought
empirical contexts within which to explore emerging
ideas about the construction of meaning.  These studies
contemplate this problem from the perspective of
audiencing practices in the private sphere.  In so
doing, they propose a radical approach which
problematizes received method and received theory.
Drawing on emerging methodological discourses in the
fields of media studies, anthropology, geography,
semiotics, and ritual studies, they each propose a
unique methodological approach.  IAMCR will provide a
valuable opportunity for these research teams to share
methodological and theoretical reflections and--most
importantly--initial findings.  The program is intended
to allow ample time for interchange and dialog as well
as general discussion of themes and issues raised.
