[Commlist] Call for Chapters. Silver Screens: Ageing Masculinities in Contemporary [European and Anglophone] Screen Cultures

Screen Cultures {film, tv drama} are instrumental not only in reflecting 
but in constructing and reinforcing popular images and narratives of 
ageing. In recent years such narratives have gained special pertinence 
with the demographic shift to older populations across European and 
western nations.

Following a successful recent conference we are proceeding with an 
edited collection on the theme of “Silver Screens: Ageing Masculinities 
in Contemporary [European and Anglophone] Screen Cultures”

We have a strong line up of scholars and topics and welcome further 
expressions of interest. We are open to any approach but are especially 
interested in: constructions of Ageing Masculinities in American and 
Scandinavian screen cultures, auteur studies and constructions of Queer 
ageing.

For consideration and/or further discussion, please forward a 300-word 
proposal and a short bio to Dr Tony Tracy (Huston School of Film and 
Digital Media) and Dr Michaela Schrage-Frueh (NUI Galway) at: 
(Irishmascage /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(Irishmascage /at/ gmail.com)> *before April 30th*

/Silver Screens/form part of a wider consortium project “Gendering Age: 
Representations of Masculinities and Ageing in Contemporary European 
Literatures and Cinemas” [MascAge] at NUI Galway, Ireland funded under 
ERA Gender-Net + Project under the auspices of the Irish Research Council.
