>CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:

>Deadline: September 1, 2000

>A special issue of Visual Anthropology, guest edited by Jeffrey Ruoff
>
>"Travelogues and Travel Films"
>
>The cinema remains a machine for constructing relations of space and time;
>the exploration of the social world through images and sounds of travel has
>always been one of its principal functions. For generations, audiences in
>the U.S. and abroad have learned about other cultures through travelogues.
>The genre flourished during the first years of cinema and continues to this
>day. Although the travelogue is a staple of motion pictures, its
>importance
>is not reflected in the literature of film studies or visual anthropology.
>
>This special issue of Visual Anthropology will strive to address a wide
>variety of travelogue forms from the past 100 years: amateur movies, live
>lecture presentations, documentaries, ethnographic films, IMAX productions,
>and popular movies. "Travelogues and Travel Films" will explore the role of
>travel imagery in the narrative economy of the cinema while simultaneously
>considering how travel films construct cultural realities.
>
>I look forward to submissions that trace connections between travelogues,
>leisure, and tourism, that highlight the intersection of technology and
>ideology in cinematic representations of cultural difference, and that
>consider little-studied examples of the genre. While travel writing has
>lately come under intense scrutiny, very little has been written about the
>travelogue film experience. "Travelogues and Travel Films" seeks to expand
>the current agenda of visual studies to bring into analytical view a body
>of
>films overlooked by visual anthropologists and film scholars.
>
>For more information about Visual Anthropology, including instructions for
>authors, see the journal online at www.gbhap.com/journals/712. (Please do
>not send materials directly to the Editor-in-Chief of Visual Anthropology.)
>Essays should be approximately 25 pages in length and must include a
>100-word abstract and a three-sentence biography of the author(s).
