La Valle dell’Eden / East of Eden

Film and Media Studies Journal of the University of Turin, Italy

Issue 28, January-June 2014
Special issue: Marilyn – Body and Icon

The issue will address the case of Marilyn Monroe, both as a phenomenon pertaining to cinema – in relation to its relevance within the studies of acting and stardom – and as one of the most persistent and multi-faceted icons of the XX Century. An icon often standing at the crossroad of historical and social dynamics, whose relevance can still be found today in discourses, images, narrations and phenomena of fandom, between high culture and popular imagery.

- Marilyn and cultural studies: gender, stardom, fandom

- Marilyn and American cinema, between genres and /auteurs/

- Marilyn star/actress: production, style, acting, performance

- The imaginary Marilyn, between art and photography

- Marilyn's tale: biographies, the autobiography, poetry and literature

- Marilyn's history: the historical and political context.

Proposals due: March 15, 2014.

Essays due: June 30, 2014.
