Call for Papers 'Comparative Cinema' N15 (Fall 2020): Feminine desires 
in film. Theories, methods, case studies.

http://www.ocec.eu/cinemacomparativecinema

 From the 1980s, with what is known as the “feminist conscience turn”, 
the essentialist ways to define female subjectivity entered a crisis, 
and so did the monolithic conception of feminine desire as an 
unchangeable entity. An open conception of the desiring female subject 
as a locus for a set of multiple, complex and potentially contradictory 
experiences began to be upheld. In this new paradigm, the oeuvre of 
Teresa de Lauretis, Judith Butler or, in another direction, Rosi 
Braidotti, have offered new philosophical roads to talk about subjects 
and their desires. Film theory has not been foreign to this 
metamorphosis, and it has generated works of reference from authors such 
as Tania Modleski, Jackie Stacey, Gaylyn Studlar or Linda Williams. This 
Call For Papers invites authors to present texts that, following these 
new directions, help to rethink the representation of feminine desires 
in film, both from a historical perspective as well as attending to the 
vitality of contemporary creation. The journal will take into account 
the articles that propose an in-depth study of the different theoretical 
and methodological basis related to this study field, and those that 
analyze, from a comparative perspective, gestures, gazes and images that 
are selected as analytical subjects for advancing research on the 
audiovisual representation of feminine desires in films. It is 
suggested, in the case studies, that authors begin their articles with a 
comparison between two images or sequences from different films as a 
starting point, before expanding upon their research.

Languages: 'Comparative Cinema' edits all its articles in English, but 
also accepts originals to be evaluated and published in Catalan or 
Spanish. If an article is accepted, its authors must assume the costs of 
translating it to English.

Length of the articles: from 5.000 to 6.000 words, including footnotes. 
The texts (in Word) and the accompanying images must be sent through the 
OJS platform of RACO.

Submission dates: from September 15th to December 15th, 2019.

* From September 15th onwards, Comparative Cinema will start receiving 
texts for a new miscellaneous section, in which the journal will include 
articles that have no thematic bond to the proposed monographic issues. 
From this date on, the reception of these submissions will be carried 
out continuously throughout the year, but the articles will be published 
in subsequent issues of the journal, prior coordination with the editors.
