*/Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies/***

*CALL FOR PAPERS *

*Intersections between Italian and Latin American Cinemas*

*Themed Issue *

*DEADLINE: 31 May 2015 *

Italian cinema is translational, transnational and rhizomatic. It is
imported and exported, transferred, translated, adopted, adapted and
re-interpreted. It is also both European and Mediterranean, moves in
many directions constantly intersects with other cinemas and in
particular with cinema in Latin America. Within such transnational
framework, scholars are invited to engage in a methodological tension
between studying national cinema and transnational critical approaches
to Italian cinema, thus recovering these overlooked connections and
re-composing them in a historic and aesthetic map, marked by
cross-national dialogues and trans-generational exchanges.

/JICMS/intends to focus on the rising role that Italian cinema plays in
the Latin American arena, as well as on cooperation opportunities
between Italian and foreign film industries. With this CFP, the Editor
aims to shift the critical paradigm outside the inwardly focused field
of Italian film studies and invites contributions that would further (1)
explore the influence of Italian cinema in Latin America; and (2)
investigate how it reaches beyond the imagined boundaries of its
(pen)insularity.

Abstracts submitted to /JICMS/ should be entirely original and
unpublished, should not be under consideration by any other publisher,
and should not have been published previously even in part by any other
publication.

Interviews, events’ reports, independent and experimental artists’
biographies are considered.

Proposals of English translations or edited versions of previously
published works will not be considered.

Abstracts should be sent to the Editor, Flavia Laviosa

and should include the following information:

1)      A 500-word abstract outlining:

3)      200-word biographical notes followed by a detailed list of
