[ecrea] CFP: Women in Contemporary World Cinema

Wed Nov 18 20:15:42 GMT 2009



Women and Contemporary World Cinema



We seek papers for an edited collection that will illuminate the representations and agency of women in the global age of world cinema. In focusing on the nature and implications of the representation of women constructed in and by world cinema this collection addresses questions of politics, gender and national identities that are key to understanding the status of women in the contemporary world. Similarly, the discussion of women as active agents be it as writers, cinematographers, directors, editors or performers enables an engagement with the continued, growing visibility of women in the global film industry. The collection will strive to evaluate the continuities and contradictions that may exist within different national, transnational and global contexts.



Papers are sought that use a range of critical perspectives including but not limited to:



Ageing

Celebrity Studies

Class

Community

Culture

Domesticity

Female audiences

Female authorship

Female gaze

Female subjectivity

Feminist film theory

Friendship

Genre Theory

Independent filmmaking

Notions of national identity
