[ecrea] Call for Papers - Dance and Film Conference

Sun Jan 30 11:02:30 GMT 2011



NOT JUST FRED AND GINGER:
CAMARADERIE, COLLUSION AND COLLISIONS BETWEEN DANCE AND FILM

The Annual Conference of the European Association of Dance Historians in
collaboration with Film Studies at London Metropolitan University.

14-16 October 2011
London, United Kingdom

The relationship between dance and film has produced some of the most
respected and popular stars, directors, films and genres in screen
history. At the same time, these well-established links have frequently
revealed essential tensions between two distinct art forms and their often
contrasting approaches and perspectives. The aim of the conference is to
investigate the histories, processes, techniques, values and discourses
inherent in the complex interactions between dance and film and to cast a
renewed historical, critical and analytical light on the same.

Proposals for both individual twenty-minute papers and panels of three
speakers are invited on any topic related to dance and film, including but
not limited to the following:

?       Choreography and film
?       Film and dance history
?       Dance as cinematic narrative
?       Cinema as choreographic narrative
?       Transnational exchanges between dance and cinema
?       Music, dance and film
?       Genre boundaries and transgressions
?       The dancing body on film
?       Dance stars on and of the screen
?       Representations of national identity
?       Images of gender and sexuality
?       Ethnic and racial interventions
?       Directors of the film musical

Deadline for the submissions of proposals: Friday, 29 April 2011.
Presenters will be notified of acceptance by Monday, 16 May 2011.
Please e-mail a proposal of no more than 300 words in either MsWord or PDF
