[Commlist] CFP: Global Women's Film Heritage

This is a call for short and diverse pieces of creative and academic 
work for an online open access publication of the RSE-funded 
projectWomen’s Film Heritage: Expanding the World’s Film Archives.


Abstracts / proposals are invited from international scholars and 
practitioners with a specialism in the history of global film cultures, 
for a publication that will map out the neglect of women’s film heritage 
throughout the world, and beyond the usual focus on the Western 
archives. We are looking for short (maximum 4,000 words) pieces, 
including essays, self-reflexive pieces, poems or other creative work, 
interviews, video essays, photographic essays, etc… We encourage 
submissions in your mother tongue, and we will provide English 
translations or subtitles of these pieces. It is hoped this will result 
in an inclusive, multi-lingual and imaginative publication that reflects 
the wide selection of approaches to the topic of global women’s film 
heritage.


You could also consider the abstract submission as a proposal for the 
international conference in January 2023 in Cluj, Romania. Please 
indicate in your abstract if this is of interest.


With this publication we hope to give shape to fuller configurations of 
the internationalist feminist film movements, as we look at the films of 
the Non-Aligned Movement, highlight historically transnational networks 
and reactivate those past alliances. Pieces discussing a variety of 
methodological approaches to the topic of a women’s global film heritage 
are especially welcome, but we are also looking for pieces that 
deconstruct the popularity of dominant historiographies. In particular, 
we are interested in pieces that engage with the terminology of 
heritage, legacy, feminism, and the meaning of the local and the global 
in terms of an ethics of care as a radical methodology.
