Apologies for cross posting


This week we have a blog post from Eliska Decka on animation communities and maintaining them beyond the studio, festival or conference setting.


Please feel free to comment.


Please contact me if you have any questions about themes or the blog in general. I have included the CFP for November below, and as stated in the email at the end of last week, the rest of this month will be an open theme, so please contact me if you have any other ideas for short posts in the next week or so.

CFP November “Alternative/Forgotten Histories"

Deadline 24th October 

We invite posts (approximately 300-500 words) on the theme of 'Alternative/ Forgotten Histories'. Topics may include, but not are not limited to:

Histories of Animation

·         Untold/ little known histories of animation, such as the development of particular styles or technologies

·         Profiles of under-appreciated animators or animation studios

·         Rethinking of the history of animation, ie. from a media archaeology perspective, reconsidering its significance in film studies/ film history

Animation as History

·         Indigenous and diasporic stories told through animation

·         The use of the animation medium to tell stories difficult to show in live-action

·         'Other' histories, for example her-story during wartime; individual experiences that critique grand historical narratives

·         Historical revisionism and animation - a critique of the medium and realism

·         The role of animation in the 'New Historicism' debate: animation as history? animation as memory?


The blog posts will be published weekly throughout November. Deadline for submission is October 24th 2014. Please send posts to Victoria Grace Walden at: [log in to unmask]


I look forward to hearing from you soon

Best Wishes

Victoria
