YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND TOMORROW ARE ALL ONE: Historical Conflation in Film and 
Television




26 Feb. to 1 March 2009 North East Modern Languages Conference (NEMLA) in Boston, MA. "Film and television 
often use historical time periods to tell their stories while incorporating unacknowledged 21st century attitudes or 
ideas within those stories. Equally as often, they use the present day for setting, but draw plots from the ideologies 
or social norms of earlier time periods. This panel proposes to examine films or television series / episodes that 
synthesize multiple time periods within them to explore how modern popular culture complicates modern audiences' 
perception of history, or perpetuates cultural stereotypes, or both. As much of young America now ÒlearnsÓ of 
history through television and film, rather than from scholarly sources, it is imperative to understand how and 
why history is being conflated with the modern day in popular culture. The films and television shows do not have 
to be current. Papers that explore any examples combining multiple historical periods without acknowledgement are 
welcome. Examples: The recent BBC version of Jane AustenÕs Persuasion had the main character, Anne Elliot, chasing 
through the streets of Bath like she was running with the bulls at Pamplona. The film "Married Life" ostensibly 
took place just after World War II, but focused on two women who behaved with very modern, feminist approaches to 
the world around them." Abstracts apparently due 1 Sept, 2008.
