CALL FOR PAPERS
The Film-Philosophy Conference 2018 at the University of Gothenburg invites proposals for presentations on any subject related to film, media and philosophy. *We especially encourage proposals from LGBTQI, feminist and BME scholars*. There is no single overall theme. As with last year, we are using a “track” system that will provide a number of broad headings to which a presenter may wish to attach their submission. There is, of course, an Open track if you feel that your paper does not fit within any of the other tracks. *Please note that this conference will be carer/parent & child friendly and will have open access onsite child care facilities (the cost of which is levied and shared through the conference fee of every participant).*
The tracks for 2018 are:

  * *Open Track*

  * *Authorship:
    *Feminist & Queer approaches; ontology of female cinema;
    philosophies of cinematic activism; counter-cinemas and third
    cinemas; the gaze; feminist phenomenologies*.

    *Virtual reality and interactivity; posthumanism & technology; new
    media and politics; philosophy & video games; philosophy and film
    data; media archaeology & philosophy; Television; Online and social

We are *only accepting individual proposals for presentations of 20 minutes*. There will be no pre-constituted panel proposals, since the track system will allow for papers to group organically around common themes and approaches.
