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

Fri Sep 09 21:16:32 GMT 2016



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.
