[Commlist] CFP - Screening Sex: The Sex Scene Vol 2

Darren Kerr and Donna Peberdy are looking for proposals for the second 
volume of Screening Sex: The Sex Scene.

The Sex Scene: Representation, Performance, Aesthetics is the second of 
two volumes that will launch the Screening Sex book series with 
Edinburgh University Press (the first: The Sex Scene: Space, Place, 
Industry). We are open to essays that will interrogate the form, 
function, politics and significance of the sex scene in film, television 
and beyond. Taking the ‘sex scene’ as a critical starting point for the 
book series, the two edited collections offer a critical exploration of 
the significance of sex on screen and in sexual cultures, combining 
original research with a review of existing and current literature and 
debates.

We are looking for, but not limited to, proposals that consider:****

·histories and controversies (screen, legal, censorial, critical)

·industrial contexts and labour (writing, directing, performing, editing)

·the mise-en-scène of the sex scene (content, aesthetics, representation)

·temporality and approach (in genres, form and style)

·space and place (physical, digital, geographical)

·visibility, visuality and concealment

·intimacy, desire and pleasure

·language, subjectivity and self

·explicit bodies, erotics and risk

·historical and cultural moments

·collective and cultural practice

While the volumes broadly sit under ‘film/television/screen studies’, 
they are decidedly interdisciplinary in scope and fit into media and 
communication studies, cultural studies, gender and sexuality studies. 
Both volumes of The Sex Scene will follow the remit of the wider series 
in encouraging a broad range of critical, contextual and cultural 
methodologies relating to sex on screen, drawing on cross-disciplinary 
and inter-disciplinary research as well as encouraging intersectional 
observations and approaches.

Please send a 250 word abstract plus short bio by Oct 31^st  2022 to: 
Darren Kerr and Dr Donna Peberdy -**(screeningsex /at/ gmail.com). Accepted 
articles will be due Feb 2023. Any Qs - do get in touch.
