[ecrea] cfp - Call for Papers: /Women in Irish Film: Stories and Storytellers

Subject: Call for Papers: /Women in Irish Film: Stories and Storytellers/

Extended deadline.

I am currently seeking abstracts for a proposed edited collection on 
women in film in Ireland. The book will explore the contribution and 
impact of women in Irish film and the Irish film industry – historical 
and contemporary perspectives. Areas of inquiry could include, but are 
not limited to:  the work of specific female writer/directors; 
‘authorship’; Irish female film crew in a male dominated workforce; 
aesthetics; questions of ‘voice’; representations in the work of Irish 
female writer/directors; industrial practices; the film production 
context; the cultural milieu.

Importantly, the focus here is on the Irish film industry and Irish 
women practitioners. There has been a dearth of published research in 
this area, a gap that this book aims to address. It is anticipated that 
it will make a valuable contribution to ongoing national and 
international debates on women’s contribution to filmmaking and the 
challenges, obstacles and exclusions women practitioners can face in a 
male dominated industry.

Please get in touch if you need any further information.

Submission of 300 word abstracts for consideration (with a short bio): 
Friday 11 November 2016.

Estimated timeframe for completed first draft: Mid 2017. 6, 000 – 7,000 
words.

Abstracts and queries to:  Susan Liddy, Department Media and 
Communications, Mary Immaculate College, Limerick. (Susan.liddy /at/ mic.ul.ie)
