*CALL FOR PAPERS*

/Non-Fiction Animation: Narrative Imagination and the Translation of 
Reality/

University of York – The Interdisciplinary Centre for Narrative Studies

*Thursday 19th to Friday 20^th April 2018*

*
ABSTRACT DEADLINE: March 20, 2018*

From/The Sinking of the Lusitania/(McCay, 1918) to/Tower/(Maitland, 
2016), non-fiction animation continues to be instrumental to the 
mediation of reality in cinema and television.  Animation offers a range 
of structural and narrative possibilities grounded in the flexibility of 
technique and stylistic choice that is the legacy of this creative 
form’s evolution. Today the convergence of animation and documentary is 
receiving much attention in academia, as several recent publications 
testify; for example,/Animated Documentary/(Roe, 2013), and/Animating 
Film Theory/(Beckman, ed. 2014).

This symposium invites proposals for papers investigating the way we 
work animation into non-fiction narratives; the way animation supports 
the translation of the real world into moving images, and the power of 
animation in evoking, challenging, questioning our society in the 
documentary form.

Possible topics include:

·Animation on the written page

·Narrative and layers of signification

·Narrative impossibilities translated through animation

·Animation’s function in narrating reality

·Animation and the news

·Animation and the biopic

·Animation and the sciences

·Little known historical precedents of value

·International examples of animation screenplays

·Animation and information industries

*Application formats (Deadline: March 20th, 2018)*

Please send a 20-minute paper abstract (350 words) and a 100-word bio 
(tort748 /at/ york.ac.uk) <mailto:(rt748 /at/ york.ac.uk)>- notification of acceptance 
within one week.
