[ecrea] CFP Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)

Call For Papers: /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
* 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:
http://intensitiescultmedia.com/about-intensities/submission-guidelines/
Considering the timeliness of this topic, the deadline for submissions
of full 6-8k papers accompanied by 250 word abstracts and 150 word bios
is April 30th 2015
<https://cas.brunel.ac.uk/owa/14.3.210.2/scripts/premium/UrlBlockedError.aspx> 
for
publication this year. Submissions should be emailed to assistant editor
