[ecrea] CFP The Poetics of Asian Cinemas conference

*REMINDER: Call for Papers*

*
The Poetics of Asian Cinemas Conference, July 10-12, 2017*


Participants are invited to present papers on any aspect of Asian 
cinema, though proposals engaging with the conference theme are 
encouraged. The conference theme may be summarized by the term “poetics” 
– chiefly, a concern with Asian films as aesthetic objects, their 
artistic functions and effects, and their techniques of staging, 
composition, editing, sound design, and storytelling. This emphasis 
marks a departure from the so-called Grand Theories of Asian cinema, and 
encourages “bottom-up” approaches and “piecemeal theorizing” of films 
from within and across Asian territories.

Papers and panel proposals are invited for the 12th Asian Cinema Studies 
Society Conference: The Poetics of Asian Cinemas. With the support of 
the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts (LICA) at Lancaster 
University, in conjunction with the Asian Cinema Studies Society, the 
conference is planned for July 10-12, 2017, at Lancaster University, UK.
