[ecrea] CFP - Cine americano: The Cinema of Latin America and the United States

Sent on behalf of Catherine Leen ((Catherine.m.leen /at/ nuim.ie) 
<mailto:(Catherine.m.leen /at/ nuim.ie)>): Call for Papers: Conference at 
National University of Ireland Maynooth, November 8-9, 2016

*Cine americano: The Cinema of Latin America and the United States.*

Whether working against it or within it, Latin American and Latina/o 
cineastes and actors have had a long and complex relationship with 
Hollywood. The apparent contradiction between the criticism of the 
Oscars in 2016 for excluding people of colour when, for the second 
consecutive year, the Best Director Award was presented to a Mexican, 
makes this a timely moment to consider the relationship between the 
cinemas of Latin America and North America. Papers do not necessarily 
have to compare North American and Latin American cinemas, but in the 
interest of establishing a dialogue between the two, presenters are 
asked to relate their papers to the following topics:

•           Music and Cinema

•           Transnational Cinema

•           Conflict and Violence

•           Marginalised Voices

•           Race and Ethnicity

•           Independent and ‘arthouse’ cinema

•           Gender and Sexuality

•           Star Studies

•           Picturing Politics

•           Documentary Cinema

The conference will feature a retrospective of the work of renowned 
Chicano director Jesús Treviño, who will screen his work and discuss his 
films and TV career as the director of internationally renowned series 
including /Law and Order Criminal Intent, Star Trek: Voyager/ and /ER/. 
We will also host a screening and discussion of the Paraguayan 
documentary Feliciano /Centurión: Abrazo Íntimo al natural/ (2016), 
followed by a discussion with its producer Fabián Bozzolo.

Abstracts for papers of no more than 20 minutes in length should be sent 
to (Catherine.m.leen /at/ nuim.ie) <mailto:(Catherine.m.leen /at/ nuim.ie)> no later 
than October 20, 2016.
