[ecrea] Intensities CFP: Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)

Intensities CFP: /Fifty Shades of Grey/ (2015)

The cinematic release of Sam Taylor-Johnson's /Fifty Shades of 
Grey/ (2015) has already garnered speculation, derision and debate equal 
to its highly controversial source text, E. L. James' homonymous 
trilogy. Its alignment with mass media, a predominantly female audience 
and mainstream cinema make it a concurrently anticipated and abhorred 
rich contemporary text. /Intensities: The Journal of Cult Media/ thus 
invites papers which will interrogate this adaptation from a plethora of 
new perspectives including industry, text and reception analysis.
Focuses may include, but are not limited to:

* Adaptation Studies
* Audience Studies
* Comparative film analyses
* Criticism analyses
* Genre and Formalism
* Fans and Fan-Fiction
* Kink, BDSM and Sexual Politics
* Pornography Studies
* Publicity, promotion and paratexts
* Psychoanalytic textual analysis
* Queer Theory
* Social Networking and the Blogosphere
* Star Studies

Authors are expected to familiarise themselves both with the 
pre-existing literature on Fifty Shades, and with the submission 
guidelines available at:

Considering the timeliness of this topic, the deadline for submissions 
of 6-8k papers accompanied by 250 word abstracts and 150 word bios is
