*TWO CALL FOR PAPERS*

**

*1) Innovations and tensions in Italian and world cinema*

Session organizer: Flavia Laviosa (Wellesley College, /Editor of the
Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies/)


The /Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies/ has published several
issues on the influence of Italian cinema on international cinema (Vol.
2: 1 & 3, 2014 on Italy-China; Vol. 4:1, 2016, and Vol. 4:3, 2016,
forthcoming September 2016, on Italy-world cinema), thus shifting the
critical paradigm outside the inwardly focused field of Italian film
studies and exploring how Italian cinema expands beyond the boundaries
of its (pen)insularity.


With this CFP, the Editor invites proposals that would identify
innovations and tensions shaping contemporary Italian cinema productions
and establishing new encounters with world cinema.

Proposals of articles should be entirely original and unpublished.

Submit a title, a 100 word professional biography, and a 250 word
proposal to Flavia Laviosa at (flaviosa /at/ wellesley.edu)
<mailto:(flaviosa /at/ wellesley.edu)> by 20 January 2016.

*2) Academic celebrations of Italian cinema anniversaries*

Panel organizer: Flavia Laviosa (Wellesley College, Editor of the
/Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies/)

The /Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies/ has published one
double themed issue celebrating the 60^th  anniversary of RAI: 1954-2014
(Vol. 3:1-2, 2015); and a second special issue historicizing the 60^th
  anniversary of the David di Donatello award: 1956-2016 (Vol. 4:2,
2016. Forthcoming January 2016).

The Editor of the journal is committed to publish new issues that will
document, historicize and critically examine other major anniversaries
celebrating the Italian film tradition. The purpose of these future
collections is to pay homage to three main institutions: the Centro
Sperimentale di Cinematografia, Cinecittà Studios and the Nastro
d’Argento award, for representing the highest expressions of the Italian
film heritage and for being symbols of collective cinematic memory.

This CFP invites critical and historical proposals on the following
anniversaries:


-80^th  anniversary of Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia: 1935-2015

-80^th  anniversary of Cinecittà Studios: 1937-2017

-70^th  anniversary of the Nastro d’Argento/Silver Ribbon award: 1946-2016


Proposals of the articles should be entirely original and unpublished.

Submit a title, a 100 word professional biography, and a 250 word
proposal to Flavia Laviosa at (flaviosa /at/ wellesley.edu)
<mailto:(flaviosa /at/ wellesley.edu)> by 20 January 2016.
