Justification and interest of the proposal

Cinema has been part of our lives in such immediate, close and enveloping a manner that it eventually turned into a dominant component of our landscape, mixed with our daily lives and, likewise, not thought about but perceived as one of its pressumptions.

Yet cinema’s appearance was to radically change the landscape prior to its arrival. This new form of spectacle, surprising and unexpected, completely disrupted previous leisure activities. And, perhaps at the same time —or not much later— something else came with it which, in a way, was the exact opposite: a new ceremony, a new rite and new temples where a new —and extraordinarily meaningful— way to access stories was born.

The age of the cultural hegemony of cinema has come to its end and for that reason we have been able to distance ourselves from it in order to start acknowledging the novelty it meant and the way that novelty affected the History of Culture. On the other hand, the ways in which it has survived in a number of various phenomena which are distinct from it but have followed suit justify the topicality of this reflection.

Hence, the Cultural Association Trama y Fondo is organising its 9th International Conference on Textual Analysis in the city of Valladolid, from 18th to 21st October 2017, with the main topic ‘What is cinema?’

All the different disciplines within the social sciences and the humanities have something to say in this regard. Consequently, all scholars are summoned to participate in the conference, provided that they abide by its main rule: that the different proposals rely on and are justified by the analysis of a text or a group of texts. They do not need to be film texts, but they do have to be concerned with the essence of cinema and of its age that give sense to the heading of this call for papers.

IMPORTANT

Proposals, papers and full texts in English are all welcome.
