[ecrea] Call for Book Chapter Proposals, “Would That They Had Eyes To See”: Essays on HBO’s True Detective

Call for Book Chapter Proposals, “Would That They Had Eyes To See”: 
Essays on HBO’s True Detective

In only one short season, True Detective has become as much a cultural 
phenomenon as a television show. The anthology series has generated much 
press and critical praise for its acting, writing, directing, thematic 
content, and more. This project seeks to further develop our 
understanding of this show, exploring it from diverse perspectives and 
lenses. The chapters presented in it are intended to explore a wide 
range of ideas that examine and dissect True Detective. Because isn’t it 
about time someone started asking the right f***ing questions?

The editors are already focused on exploring the show as Southern Gothic 
and the idea of “looking, seeing, and the Gaze.” Possible suggestions 
for other chapters/ideas to explore include:

- Treatment of religion
- Portrayals of masculinity
- Presentations of poverty
- The representation of sex
- Intertextuality and sources
- Depiction of gender
- True Detective and the horrific
- True Detective and noir
- True Detective and pulp
- Analysis of Carcosa


If you would like to propose a chapter for this project, please send a 
short author(s) bio as well as a 750 word abstract along with title to 
Matthew Wysocki ((mwysocki /at/ flagler.edu)) or Stephanie Graves 
((steph.graves /at/ gmail.com)). We have had a number of publishers express 
interest in this and are eager to capitalize on this interest. The 
deadline for receipt of all proposals is May 22, 2015. We will attempt 
to notify all correspondents before July 1 regarding the status of their 
submission. Completed draft manuscripts of 6500-7000 words will be due 
by December 15, 2015.
