With apologies for cross-posting:
The International Society for the Study of Medievalism recently convened its 26th International Conference on Medievalism at the University of New Mexico under the general theme of Medievalism, Arthuriana, and Landscapes of Enchantment from 21-22 October 2011. There were a number of sessions devoted to recent Arthurian television, including the BBC1's Merlin, Starz's Camelot, and the French series Kaamelott.
The complete program can be accessed at http://ims.unm.edu/sim/.
Sponsored by The Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Matter of Britain, the "Matter of Britain on Screen" blog is designed as an aid to explorations of the transformations undergone by the Matter of Britain as it is translated to film, television, and related electronic media, such as games and internet video.
Excalibur is not a thing, something you can hold in your hand.
Excalibur is the good in you.
The power to do good, to stand up for what's right, to slay dragons, to capture bank robbers.
You always carry Excalibur in your heart.
Robert Tinnell, Kids of the Round Table (1995)
