ANNOUNCING A NEW JOURNAL, AND A CALL FOR PAPERS.

The journal is to be published two times a year, one issue themed, and the other open. The editor, Warren Buckland, welcomes contributions to the open issues (up to 7,000 words) that broadly support the journal's editorial policy (see below), and for the following themed issue: FILM AND TELEVISION STUDIES PEDAGOGY. Submissions are invited on any aspect of teaching film and television studies. Papers examining the history of film and television studies teaching, the role of the electronic classroom, the value of textbooks, or teaching film and television studies to production students are particularly welcome. Deadline for submissions: September 1 2004. Please email paper abstracts in the first instance to Warren Buckland at [log in to unmask], or mail to: Warren Buckland, School of Film and Television, Chapman University, One University Drive, Orange, California, 92866, USA.

 

Editorial Policy

The New Review of Film and Television Studies promotes current research making a central contribution to film and television studies. Rather than endorse a particular doctrine or fixed agenda, the journal publishes research dedicated to clearly formulated, reliable methods of analysis, well posed questions examining resolvable problems, and focused deliberation on those problems. The journal is driven by the belief that intellectually rigorous research in the humanities is both possible and necessary. In-depth stand alone essays, detailed review essays focused around recent publications, or extracts from major research projects in progress are particularly welcome.

 

For more information about the journal, please see: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/17400309.asp

Our publisher is away on vacation, so the rest of the Metaphilm crew is making the most of it (well, working away, anyway).

Tommy Viola, Metaphilmís theologian in virtual residence, has taken another crack at decoding Reloaded after the, ahem, somewhat unenthusiastic response to our first interpretation. ìThe Matrix: Reloaded, Re-Decodedî is now live, and itís got plenty for you to chew on. Consider it an FDA nutrition label for a movie that may be the narrative equivalent of Olestra. Beware the side-effects of metaphysical gluttony.

And if you havenít visited us recently, donít miss our non-Matrix stuff. Chuck Katz, author of *Manhattan on Film* has a piece on New York and the geography of the movies.

We have an exclusive excerpt from the forthcoming *Lord of the Rings and Philosophy* on the greenness of Tolkien.

Patton Dodd has a very cool interpretation of 28 Days Later.

James Rovira says Finding Nemo is an underwater version of The Hulk.

And the metaphlog continues to highlight the best interpretations on the web.

Come and see.

Cheers!

Subject: visual materials



I am currently completing work with Michael Temple and James Williams on a

collective volume on Godard's work inspired by the For Ever Godard
conference that took place at Tate Modern, London, in 2001. This book is
due to appear towards the end of this year with Black Dog Publishing. It
includes an illustrated filmography that will ideally represent each of
Godard's works visually using materials such as stills, production photos,
source novels, press books, lobby cards, posters, etc.. We have had
difficultly locating such materials for the following, even in the Cahiers
du cinema picture library:

Operation beton (1954)
Une femme coquette (1955)
Cine-tracts (1968)
Changer d'image / Lettre a la bien-aimee (1982)
Petites notes a propos du film Je vous salue Marie (1983)
JLG meets WA / Meetin WA (1986)
Le dernier mot (1988)
Le rapport darty (1988-9)
L'enfance de l'art (1990)
Contre l'oubli / Pour Thomas Wainggai (1991)
Je vous salue Sarajevo (1994)
2 x 50 ans de cinema francais (1995) (we have POL book cover)
Les Enfants jouent a la Russie (1993) (we have POL book cover)
Plus Oh! (1996)
Adieu au TNS (1996)
The Old Place (1999)
De l'origine du 21e siecle (2000)
Liberte et patrie (2002)
Dans le noir du temps (2002)

If anyone is able to help with materials relating to any of these titles,
or with suggestions of where we might look (apart from the various
production companies or Godard himself), we'd be very grateful indeed. Many
thanks in advance.

Best wishes,

Michael Witt

CALL FOR ARTICLES

Cinema and the Swastika: The International Expansion of Third Reich cinema (1933-1945)

Before and during the Second World War, the German film industry pursued an expansionist policy that was intended to make Berlin the new Hollywood. Apart from 'reorganising' the cinema of Nazi-occupied countries, the German film industry also tried to increase its influence over friendly or neutral states, like Italy, Spain or Sweden. This process, stimulated by propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, not only represented an economic takeover, but also had important cultural and political implications.

In many countries, scholars have already conducted groundbreaking research on the German influence over their national film industries (1933-1945). Unfortunately, access to most of these publications is restricted to scholars who read the local language. Cinema and the Swastika, a volume edited jointly by Roel Vande Winkel and David Welch, aims to bring together comparative research in this field. The book aims to launch new research on the influence Nazi Germany had on the international film industry, as well as to give less well-known scholarship a broader audience.

This call for articles invites film historians and other experts to contribute a chapter on their area of specialisation, whether a country or a region such as the Balkans. The articles may offer new research, but summaries of works that have already been published are also welcome. There are no geographical boundaries: assessments of German film policy in the USA or South America as well as occupied Europe could yield interesting results. The editors will compose a preface and a conclusion in order to frame all chapters in a broader perspective and to evaluate international Nazi film policies. To stimulate further research the volume will also include a general bibliography and an inventory of important archive collections.

Send all inquiries and proposals to Roel Vande Winkel at [log in to unmask]

You can reread this call (and updates) on
http://www.psw.ugent.be/comwet/wgfilmtv/Cinema_and_the_Swastika.htm

Dr. Roel Vande Winkel is the head scientific researcher for a joint research project developed by the Ghent University and the Belgian Royal Film Archive. He wrote a dissertation on Nazi newsreels and foreign propaganda in German-occupied territories and published about his research in the Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television and other international journals.

Prof. Dr. David Welch is Head of the School of History and Director of the Centre for the Study of Propaganda at the University of Kent at Canterbury. His books include Propaganda and the German Cinema 1933-1945 (IB Tauris, 2nd ed. 2001) and The Third Reich: Politics and Propaganda (Routledge, 2nd ed. 2002). He is also General Editor of the Routledge Sources in History series.

Call for Papers: THE VELVET LIGHT TRAP
A CRITICAL JOURNAL OF FILM AND TELEVISION STUDIES
Defining the Americas: Media Within/Across Borders


The history of the American continents has long been one of establishing and
crossing borders.  From pre-colonial times to the present, people and
cultures define and redefine themselves and their borders, especially in
response to perceived conquest opportunities or threats.  As cultural
discourse, media interrogates the construction of identity within and beyond
national or other boundaries.

Issue #55 of the Velvet Light Trap will explore media as it relates to and
is a product of citizenship in the Americas.  In contemporary discourse,
"American" film and the "American" experience are often conceptually limited
to Hollywood and the United States.  While the editors are open to this
conceptualization of the Americas for inclusion in this issue, we are
particularly interested in articles that highlight film and television
throughout the far northern, central and southern regions of the Americas.
The editors are also seeking submissions that address the impact of
post-crisis nationalism on the cultural industry's film and video
production.  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:
* Impacts and representations of nationalism or provincialism in film and
television
* NAFTA/FTAA and other globalization efforts impact on identity
formation/representation and production
* Crisis and national identity formation/representation in film and
television
* Regional cinema or television
* Minority and women's involvement in all levels of production
* Identity within or across regional/national borders
* Analysis of mainstream and independent depictions of culture
* Reactionary or propagandist film/TV
* The "local" or the "other" as subject matter and/or target audience
* Media and its relationship to the State
* Regional generic conventions
* Innovation, experimentation, and imitation in form and narrative
* American cultural practices as they intersect with each other, including
African American, Asian American, Jewish diaspora, Latino/a, American Indian
and other Indigenous cultural practices ("American" referring to the
continents)
* The works and issues involved in the Caribbean and other islands of the
American Hemisphere
* Hybridization or notions of racial purity
* Redefinitions of social institutions
* Dominant, counter-cultural or subcultural social movements in film/TV
* National/international media law
* New media and culture, including the Digital Divide

To be considered for publication papers should include a 100-200 word
abstract, be between 15 and 25 pages, double-spaced, in MLA style, with the
author's name and contact information included only on the title 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
Afsheen Nomai at [log in to unmask]  All submissions are due January
16, 2004. Submit five copies of the paper to:

The Velvet Light Trap
C/o The Department of Radio-Television-Film
University of Texas at Austin
CMA 6.118, Mail Code A0800
Austin, TX, 78712

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.

Invisible Culture, Issue 6: Please Post
(apologies for cross postings)

The editors of _Invisible Culture_ are pleased to announce the release of

ISSUE 6: VISUAL PUBLICS, VISIBLE PUBLICS

Edited by Catherine Zuromskis

Available online at
<http://www.rochester.edu/in_visible_culture/ivchome.html>


This issue of _Invisible Culture_ is a modest attempt to explore some of
the many issues raised by the growing field of public sphere theory.
Taking a cue from Michael Warner, the articles presented consider an
understanding of publics as social, spatial, and ideological entities
formed in discursive relation with a variety of cultural texts and
practices, particularly, for the purposes of this issue, visual texts. In
the essays included in this issue, publics are elaborated through

discussions of art, mass media, notions of citizenship, history, and
urban identity. Their authors show how the concept of public
participation can be both hegemonic and resistant (and sometimes a
combination of the two). And by drawing attention to such thorny issues
as the often-indistinct distinction between public and private, the
interdependence of public practice and urban history or identity, the
sometimes-fleeting agency of the public citizen, and the difficulties in
addressing a particular public, the essays in this issue endeavor to
bring to life, and into view, the fragmentary, problematic nature of
defining the public sphere.

The articles included in this issue are:

of Cultural Studies" (Issue 1).

_Invisible Culture_ has been in operation since 1998, in association with
the Visual and Cultural Studies Program at the University of Rochester.
The present editors, Margot Bouman, Lucy Curzon, T'ai Smith, and
Catherine Zuromskis, have revised the journal's original mission
statement, with the goal of reaching a broader range of disciplines.

The journal is dedicated to explorations of the material and political
dimensions of cultural practices: the means by which cultural objects and
communities are produced, the historical contexts in which they emerge,
and the regimes of knowledge or modes of social interaction to which they
contribute.

As the title suggests, Invisible Culture problematizes the unquestioned
alliance between culture and visibility, specifically visual culture and
vision. Cultural practices and materials emerge not solely in the visible
world, but also in the social, temporal, and theoretical relations that
define the invisible. Our understanding of Cultural Studies, finally,
maintains that culture is fugitive and is constantly renegotiated.

_Invisible Culture_ accepts book, film, media, and art review submissions
of 600 to 800 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.

If you have problems unsubscribing, or sending messages generally, then do not ask for help via the salon, but simply email the owner at: [log in to unmask]
or
