CALL FOR PAPERS

Cinemas, Identities and Beyond:
St. Andrews-Glasgow Postgraduate Conference
University of St. Andrews, Scotland
10 November 2006

The exploration of identity is one of the most contested and thought-provoking
contemporary subjects. As a dominant and penetrating cultural form, cinema
conditions and shapes the manner in which we interpret issues of identity and
space. Our understanding of representation, narrative conventions, film form,
industry issues and a host of other socio-political factors related to cultural
production and consumption powerfully define our ever changing ideas of
identity.

This AHRC funded one-day event is run entirely by postgraduate students from the
Universities of St. Andrews and Glasgow.  We are primarily seeking to bring
together PG students from Scotland and the North of England but we will also
consider abstracts from those studying further afield. Successful applicants
will use film in their work as a means of understanding and interpreting issues
of society, culture, and identity.  We invite participants from a range of
disciplines: Film, television and cultural studies, languages, comparative
literature, anthropology, and area studies.

We will interpret the conference theme broadly. Papers exploring the following
areas are particularly welcome:

National, regional, and transnational cinemas and identity
Aesthetics and cinematic identification
Time, space and signification
Early cinema and modernity
Non-mainstream cinema practices and identity
New media and digital cinemas
Cinema and gender
Western film theories and cross-cultural paradigms
Globalisation, transnationalism and cinemas
Cinemas and stardom
Media imperialism
Linguistics and cinematic formalities
Cinemas and cultural politics
Sound and music
Soap operas and reception
Genres and interpretations
Migrant and diasporic cinemas
Media synergies

Panels will be moderated by leading academics who will respond to the papers. 
Confirmed convenors include:

Professor Pam Cook (University of Southampton)
Dr. Dimitris Eleftheriotis (University of Glasgow)
Professor Christine Geraghty (University of Glasgow)
Professor Andrew Higson (University of East Anglia)
Professor Dina Iordanova (University of St. Andrews)

Professor John Caughie (University of Glasgow), who will open the conference,
will be our Guest of Honour.

Please send an abstract of 200 words for a paper of approximately 20 minutes,
together with your contact details and a brief biographical note to Ruby Cheung
at
[log in to unmask]

Please indicate “Abstract Submission” in the subject line of your email.

Ten bursaries of £50 will be given away to selected participants (please
indicate you would like to be considered for a bursary at the time you send in
your abstract).

The papers will be selected by an inter-University PhD student committee: Ruby
Cheung and David Fleming (St. Andrews) and Philippa Smith and Katharina Lindner
(Glasgow). Selected participants and bursary recipients will be notified in
early September.

Closing date of abstract submission: 18 August 2006
