[Commlist] Publication of Comparative Cinema 13: Notes for a historical study of corpses as cinematographic figures

We are glad to announce the publication of the issue N13 of Comparative 
Cinema: https://raco.cat/index.php/Comparativecinema

This is issue is edited by Fran Benavente, Santiago Fillol and Glòria 
Salvadó Corretger and is focused on the representation of corpses in 
film. It includes articles about the cases of Argentina (Eva Perón, the 
"desaparecidos", among others), Spain (from popular comedies to 
Francisco Franco) and Italy (the specific cases of Aldo Moro and Pier 
Paolo Pasolini), as well as an interview with late Colombian director 
Luis Ospina and fellow filmmaker Camilo Restrepo. The dossier is 
completed with a comparison between "Sunset Blvd." and "Twin Peaks". The 
texts are published in English but most of them have their original 
versions in Spanish as well. You can see the full summary below.

Comparative Cinema is a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year by 
Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). Call for Papers for Issue 15 is 
open until the end of January.
