Call for Papers FOR EVER GODARD An International Conference on the Work of Jean-Luc Godard TATE MODERN London, 21-24 June 2001 For the last fifty years, Jean-Luc Godard's work in cinema and video has innovated, provoked, and inspired. Since the completion of HISTOIRE(S) DU CINEMA in 1998, Godard's name has returned to the centre of debates about audio-visual art and culture, especially regarding questions of history, technology, and the future of cinema. This return provides the perfect opportunity for a critical reassessment of Godard's entire corpus and its key role in the history of cinema. Following on from the major retrospective of the work of Godard and Anne-Marie Mieville at the National Film Theatre in January-March 2001, this interdisciplinary conference aims to reconsider and reevaluate Godard's unique artistic achievement. We would welcome contributions that deal primarily with Godard and Godard/Mieville's later works, or that propose new ways of thinking about the earlier writings, films, and videos. Proposals are invited both from well-established scholars and the younger generation of critics, whether they are working in film and television studies, art history, cultural studies, philosophy, music, literature, or any other discipline. We would also like to see contributions from practising artists and film-makers and would therefore actively encourage forms of presentation other than the traditional academic paper. All questions are open and ready for debate. The following list of possible topics is suggestive rather than exhaustive: Autobiography The Sacred History Love Art Sound Science Technology Performance Collaboration Please send 400-word proposals BY MONDAY 18th SEPTEMBER 2000 to Dr Michael Witt, Department of Modern Languages, University of Surrey Roehampton, Roehampton Lane, London SW15 5PH, UK.

Depuis la sortie d'HISTOIRE(S) DU CINEMA en 1998, le nom de Godard revient au centre du debat sur l'art audiovisuel et sa culture, surtout en ce qui concerne les questions de l'histoire, de la technologie, et de l'avenir du cinema. Ce retour en force nous semble etre le moment propice pour reconsiderer son oeuvre entiere et sa presence incontournable dans la creation contemporaine. Suite a la grande retrospective du travail de Jean-Luc Godard et d'Anne-Marie Mieville qui aura lieu au National Film Theatre a Londres en janvier-mars 2001, ce colloque interdisciplinaire cherche a repenser et a reevaluer ce corpus unique et pourtant exemplaire. Nous cherchons de preference des interventions traitant du travail recent de Godard et de Godard- Mieville et/ou proposant de nouvelles perspectives sur les oeuvres diverses (ecrits, films, videos) des annees 50-80. Nous desirons tout autant recevoir la participation de jeunes inconnus que de specialistes renommes, toutes generations confondues, quelle que soit la tendance intellectuelle: film et television, histoire de l'art, cultural studies, philosophie, musique, litterature, etc. Nous aimerions egalement qu'artistes et cineastes influences par Godard nous proposent des interventions en format non-conventionnel (photographique, audio-visuel, ou autre). Toutes les questions sont bonnes a debattre, tous les debats sont a refaire. Les intervenants non-anglophones seront les bienvenus. Voici quelques themes possibles (purement a titre d'exemple): Autoportrait Le Sacre Histoire Amour Art Son Science Technique Performance Collaboration Envoyez votre projet de communication (d'environ 400 mots) AVANT LE 18 SEPTEMBRE 2000 a Dr Michael Witt, Department of Modern Languages, University of Surrey Roehampton, Roehampton Lane, London SW15 5PH, Royaume-Uni.
