[ecrea] Call for papers: 'Current Thinking on the Western II'

'Current Thinking on the Western II' is an international symposium that 
will take place on 23-24 March 2015 at the University of Leeds, UK.

Keynote speaker: Professor Cynthia J. Miller (Emerson College, USA).  
Author of 'The Encyclopedia of B Westerns' (forthcoming) and co-editor 
of 'Undead in the West' volumes I & II (Scarecrow Press, 2012; 2013) and 
'International Westerns: Re-Locating the Frontier' (Rowman & 
Littlefield, 2014).

Though relatively few Westerns are produced these days the genre in all 
of its multifarious forms continues to inspire new avenues of research.

This two-day event seeks to draw together international scholars of all 
levels (postgraduate research students, early career researchers & 
established researchers) and media practitioners whose work engages with 
the Western on film.

Proposals (around 250 words in length) are invited for 20 minute papers 
concerning any aspect of current research on Western genre films but the 
following areas are of particular interest:

Cult Westerns
Hybrid Westerns
US Civil War related Westerns
"Classic" Westerns
Western parodies
Revisionist Westerns
Political Westerns
Westerns made since 2000
Western stars
The Western on TV
Fan productions
The music of the Western
Gender in the West

Papers can relate to American/Hollywood Westerns or those produced 
beyond the USA (Italian, German, etc).

Proposals – accompanied by a brief biography – should be sent to Dr Lee 
Broughton at (L.Broughton /at/ leeds.ac.uk)

Deadline for proposals: Monday 16th February 2015.

Dr Lee Broughton, Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow, University of Leeds.
