Wed Mar 11 21:29:37 GMT 2015





Call for chapters:  The Films of Aki Kaurismäki

Despite creating an extensive and innovative body of work over the last 30 years, Aki Kaurismäki remains relatively neglected in Anglophone scholarship. This collection of original essays and selected translations aims to redress such neglect by offering a range of critical inquiries into Kaurismäki's politically and aesthetically compelling cinema.

Possible topics include:
-visual aesthetics
-realism / fantasy
-representations of Finland / Europe
-class relations
-gender
-nostalgia
-use of music
-performance style
-humour
-generic hybridity / pastiche
-as art cinema
-as cult cinema

Proposals on these or any other facets of Kaurismäki's oeuvre are invited.
Please send a 300 word proposal and brief biography by 1 June 2015 <x-apple-data-detectors://0> to: (t.r.austin /at/ sussex.ac.uk) <mailto:(t.r.austin /at/ sussex.ac.uk)>

Thanks.
Kind regards,
Thomas Austin
