[ecrea] CFP: Women in Animation

Call for Papers: Women in Animation
Society for Animation Studies Conference
July 3-7 2017 - University of Padova, Italy

20-minute papers are sought for a pre-constituted panel that will be 
proposed for the 2017 Society for Animation Studies conference. The 
panel is interested in exploring the research being done on the history 
of women in animation and the relationship between the historical 
perspective and the contemporary context. As such, we are open to 
proposals that fall under any of these broad areas:

  * The history of women in animation (including case studies of
    specific animators or contexts)
  * Doing historical research into women in animation (e.g. availability
    of and access to archives; unwritten and hidden histories, etc)
  * Analyses of the extant research, scholarship and material on the
    history of women in animation and female animators
  * Examinations and critiques of the concept of gendered aesthetics and
    style
  * The relationship between the history of women in animation and the
    contemporary context for female animators.
  * Case studies of contemporary female animators
  * Industry studies perspectives on the contemporary film and media
    industries and female animators
  * The process of doing research into the contemporary industry or
    contemporary female animators
  * Presentations from current (or past) practitioners who take any of
    the above analytical perspectives on their own work/ practice.

(Note, that we are open to interpreting the terms ‘animator’ and 
‘animation’ broadly to include things such as V/FX, etc)

Please submit a proposal (approx. 350 words) and short bio (approx. 150 
words) to Bella Honess Roe ((a.honessroe /at/ surrey.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(a.honessroe /at/ surrey.ac.uk)>) by 18th December.
