The congress is organized by the Department of English and German of the Universitat de València and the Inter-university Institute for Applied Modern Languages (IULMA), and its main purpose is to create a virtual space in which different academic voices of various branches of knowledge can gather together for the study and debate of English-language television series. Its aim is to offer a critical and multidisciplinary eye at television narrative in such language in order to answer to the growing interest and popularity of television fiction in recent years, increased to a great extent due by the emergence of new digital platforms for investment and distribution.

In the conference, the study of gender policy, the racial ethnic representation and even multimodal analysis will be analysed, among other issues; from script studies, marginal discourses, utopian and dystopian, ecocritics, or posthumanists discourses to the analysis of adaptations and the fandom phenomenon. The congress intends to cover a wide range of topics and perspectives that not only contribute to the study of TV series as a current popular discourse, but also echo the most prominent critical and conceptual frameworks in humanities and social sciences at present.
