The Department of English Philology of the University of Zaragoza, SERCIA
and the Iberian Association of Cultural Studies (IBACS) announce their
call for paper and panel proposals for the XIII SERCIA Conference, the X
Jornadas de Literatura y Cine en Lengua Inglesa and the XIII Culture and
Power Conference, ‘Genre, Ideology and Culture in the Cinema’, September
18-20 2008, at the Palacio de Congresos de Jaca.
Deadline for proposals: 31 March, 2007.
The ‘Genre, Ideology and Culture in the Cinema’ Conference will bring
together specialists and scholars with an interest in the theory and
analysis of Film Genre in order to study the phenomenon of Film Genre from
a multiplicity of perspectives and discuss the most recent approaches to
it. Specifically, the organisers hope that the intersection between Film
Studies and Cultural Studies will offer interesting avenues for future
research in this area. Keynote speakers include Barry Keith Grant,
Elizabeth Ezra, Vicente J. Benet and Raphaëlle Moine.
We welcome pre-constituted panels or individual papers on the following or
related topics: the theory of film genre; theories of individual classical
or contemporary genres; the genre industry; genre aesthetics; generic
hybridity; genre and ideology; the history of film genres; genres and
society; cultural dimensions of film genre; genre, gender and sex; the
globalisation of film genres; film, literature and the other arts from a
generic perspective; the limits of film genre; the theory and practice of
genre analysis. Panel and paper proposals should be sent electronically to
the organisers and to the President of Sercia, Gilles Menegaldo
[log in to unmask], and should include a title, a 300-
400 word summary, a brief bibliography and author bio.
Updates on the conference will be regularly posted on the following
