THE VELVET LIGHT TRAP

A CRITICAL JOURNAL OF FILM AND TELEVISION STUDIES

Call for Papers: Subculture, deviance and normalcy in post 1969 film and television

Images of subcultures and deviance have become increasingly popular subjects of film and television narratives. Whether the drug addicts of Requiem for a Dream, the mobsters of The Sopranos, or the paranoid schizophrenic of A Beautiful Mind, audiences are continually confronted with a variety of depictions that can challenge or maintain hegemonic notions of these groups and their place in society. Such depictions can have consequences for what is considered "normal" or "acceptable" behavior, attitudes or beliefs in a wide variety of contexts.

Issue #53 of the Velvet Light Trap will explore the textual focus of post-1969 television and film on subcultures, deviance and any possible implications for notions of normalcy. The editors are seeking submissions that encompass many aspects of the culture industry, while emphasizing the relationship between pop culture and societal beliefs and structures. Submissions from a variety of analytical approaches are strongly encouraged, including reception, political economy, textual analysis, discourse theory, historiography, feminism, queer theory, critical race theory, psychoanalysis and any other methods in cultural studies.

Possible topics for this issue include, but are not limited to: * Shifting representations and/or reception of normalcy and deviancy in film and television
* Subcultures as interpretive communities

* Analysis of mainstream and independent depictions of specific subcultures (e.g. Showgirls and Stripshow)
* Representations of experimentation with alternate sexualities and drug use (Velvet Goldmine, Trainspotting, etc.)

* Analysis of fictional and non-fictional political, social or sexual deviance (e.g. The People vs. Larry Flynt and Frontline: American Porn) * Subculture/deviance as Other

* Radical/controversial subcultural media products or texts implicating them (S&M and other types of fetish porn, snuff)

* Narrowcasting and subcultures as target audience

* Breaks in or challenges to generic conventions in depictions of deviance

* Subcultures/deviance in spoof/comedy films * Normalizing or appropriation of social and sexual deviance, "deviantizing" the norm.

* Mainstream or normal audiences and identification with deviant subjectivities

* Mental disorder and "deviance"

* Alternate cultural practices as they intersect with other American cultures, including African American, Asian, Latino, American Indian cultural practices.

* Redefinition of social institutions, i.e. new religious beliefs, the single mom as a textual phenomenon

* Counter-cultural or subcultural social movements in film/TV (e.g. Malcolm X, American History X, etc.)

To be considered for publication, papers should be between 15 and 25 pages, double-spaced, in MLA style, with the author's name and contact information included only on the cover page. Queries regarding potential submissions also are welcome. Authors are responsible for acquiring related visual images and the associated copyrights. For more information or to submit a query, please contact Sarah Bowman ([log in to unmask]). All submissions are due January 15, 2003.

The Velvet Light Trap is an academic, refereed journal of film and television studies published semi-annually by University of Texas Press. Issues are coordinated alternately by graduate students at the University of Texas-Austin and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After a prescreening, articles are anonymously refereed by specialist readers of the journal's Editorial Advisory Board, which includes such notable scholars as Donald Crafton, Michael Curtin, Alexander Doty, Cynthia Fuchs, Herman Gray, Heather Hendershot, Barbara Klinger, Walter Metz, Charles Musser, Chon Noriega, Lynn Spigel, and Chris Straayer.

DIGITAL CULTURE by CHARLIE GERE

During the last twenty years, digital technology has begun to touch on almost every aspect of our lives. Nowadays most forms of mass media, television, recorded music and film are produced and even distributed digitally; and these media are beginning to converge with digital forms, such as the internet, the World Wide Web, and video games, to produce a seamless digital mediascape. At work we are surrounded by technology, whether in offices or in supermarkets and factories, where almost every aspect of planning, design, marketing, production and distribution is monitored or controlled digitally.

In Digital Culture Charlie Gere articulates the degree to which our everyday lives are becoming dominated by digital technology, whether in terms of leisure, work or bureaucracy. This dominance is reflected in other areas, including the worlds of finance, technology, scientific research, media and telecommunications. Out of this situation a particular set of cultural responses has emerged, for example, in art, music, design, film, literature and elsewhere.

This book offers a new perspective on digital culture by examining its development, and reveals that, despite appearances, it is neither radically new, nor ultimately technologically driven. The author traces its roots to the late 18th century, and shows how it sprang from a number of impulses, including the information needs of industrial capitalism and contemporary warfare, avant-garde artistic practice, counter-cultural experimentation, radical philosophy and sub-cultural style. It is these conditions that produced both digital technology and digital culture, and which have determined how they develop.

Charlie Gere <http://www.bbk.ac.uk/hafvm/staff_research/cgere.html> ([log in to unmask]) is Lecturer in Digital Art History in the School of History of Art, Film and Visual Media <http://www.bbk.ac.uk/hafvm/> at Birkbeck College, University of London.

Press Release - 9th January 2003

CONTROVERSIAL DOCUMENTARY RELEASED ON VIDEO

INJUSTICE - the controversial feature length documentary about the struggles for justice by the families of people who have died in police custody - continues its national and international screening programme into 2003 despite the attempts of the Police Federation and individual police officers to suppress the film through threats of legal action. Since it's first public showing in April 2001 the film has had hundreds of screenings in cinemas, film festivals, community centres and universities.

Despite the enormous critical and public acclaim that the film has received broadcasters in the UK, including Channel Four and the BBC, have refused to screen the film. A new initiative by the campaign group Index On Censorship will soon be launched to challenge the banning of INJUSTICE. Other initiatives will be announced throughout the year. As a result of public interest INJUSTICE is now also available on video.

Details of forthcoming screenings can be found on www.injusticefilm.co.uk

West Coast Premiere Exclusive Engagement "Alphaville" with live score by scanner
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard

A true renaissance artist of digital pop culture, this ingenious
British audio auteur, composer and sonic spy trawls the hidden noise
of the modern metropolis to create absorbing, multi-layered
soundscapes. Taking his name from the machine he uses to scan radio
waves, scanner (a.k.a. Robin Rimbaud) has pilfered scanned fragments
of cell phone conversations, created "Sound Polaroids" of London,
transformed works by Jean Cocteau, Sylvia Plath and Shakespeare with
his indelible soundtracks. As radical as the day it was released,
Jean-Luc Godard's futuristic film noir masterpiece Alphaville is
recast in scanner's probing ambient electronica.

As part of UCLA Live's commitment to the new and innovative, several
events will be staged in the underused historic theaters of downtown
Los Angeles. scanner will appear in a true downtown gem, the Downtown
Palace Theater. Built in 1911 the Downtown Palace Theatre, with its
Florentine architectural influences and terra-cotta facade, is the
oldest remaining original Orpheum theater in the country.

From: "Caroline Bainbridge" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: CFP: Culture and the Unconscious, London, July 2003

Culture and the Unconscious: Psychoanalysts, Artists and Academics in Dialogue

Conference to be held on July 11th and 12th 2003, at School of Oriental and African Studies, London WC1.

Jointly organised by the British Psychoanalytical Society, the Tavistock Clinic and the University of East London

Confirmed Keynote Speaker: Prof. Slavoj Zizek

Outline of Conference

Psychoanalysis has always wandered beyond the consulting room. Alongside clinical texts, Freud and his followers wrote speculatively on art and artists, politics, war and civilisation, and this cultural engagement has been fully sustained by later analytic generations. The creative arts and literature have been widely admired by psychoanalysts, many of whom believe that creative artists have conveyed the deepest of all understandings of unconscious mental life. More recently, psychoanalysis in many hues has permeated cultural criticism and the universities, influencing studies of film, television, the visual arts, biography, fiction, theatre and poetry, and other art forms. Although psychoanalysts and academics are often drawn to the same painting, film or play, their approaches commonly use psychoanalysis differently and address different audiences.

Until now, conversations between these three worlds of psychoanalysis, the academy, and the creative arts, have rarely taken place. Such conversations will form the basis of Culture and the Unconscious, an international interdisciplinary conference that will bring together psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, artists and academics to discuss such fields as film and television, literature, drama and poetry, the visual arts, and biography. Through these conversations Culture and the Unconscious will bring together the worlds of psychoanalysis, academia, and the creative arts. It will produce a lively, illuminating and thought-provoking event that should be of interest to all those interested in psychoanalysis and culture.

Conference Themes Will Include:

·        Creativity and the artist

·      Culture and emotion

·    Culture as resistance

· Psychoanalytic aesthetics

·      Genres and the unconscious

·     Morality and art.

Call for Papers and Contributions

Offers of papers or other contributions for the above Conference are invited. These may be from psychoanalysts or psychoanalytic psychotherapists, academics, critics or journalists, or creative artists. They may also be for panels involving co-operation between any of these participants. Contributions may be focused on a particular genre of work (for example film or poetry), a particular artist or writer, or a particular psychoanalytic perspective. Because the purpose of the conference is to facilitate dialogue between these different spheres of work, the organisers will be particularly pleased to receive proposals for collaborative or joint sessions between psychoanalysts, academics and artists. We will also however be very glad to receive offers of individual conference papers.

The Conference will have both plenary sessions, with speakers drawn from the different contributing fields, and smaller panel sessions. The organisers will discuss with those offering contributions what would be the most appropriate setting for the presentation and discussion of their work.

Offers should be made to the Organising Committee at the email or postal address given below, by November 30 2002. They should take the form of an abstract of not more than 500 words.

Salon Netiquette:

When hitting 'reply' please always delete the text of the message you are replying to -- namely, do not leave old posts underneath your reply (but by all means quote lines you particularly want to refer to).

Please do not use html or styled formatting when sending messages -- some members will not be able to read your post, and non-formatted texts take up less bandwidth and thus download quicker.

Styled formatting can be replaced by a simple ascii text style guide: to emphasise words *quote with asterisks*; film and book titles should be marked with underscores -- Deleuze's _Cinema_, Sokurov's _Mother and Son_; mark titles of articles and all quotations with 'single quotation marks'; and instead of tabs or indents simply separate paragraphs with a one line gap.

When sending a message please check that the subject line reflects the message content, and is not just one left over from a previous thread or digest message.
