Apologies for cross-posting *************************** Sent on behalf of Catherine Leen ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>): Call for Papers: Conference at National University of Ireland Maynooth, November 8-9, 2016 Cine americano: The Cinema of Latin America and the United States. Whether working against it or within it, Latin American and Latina/o cineastes and actors have had a long and complex relationship with Hollywood. The apparent contradiction between the criticism of the Oscars in 2016 for excluding people of colour when, for the second consecutive year, the Best Director Award was presented to a Mexican, makes this a timely moment to consider the relationship between the cinemas of Latin America and North America. Papers do not necessarily have to compare North American and Latin American cinemas, but in the interest of establishing a dialogue between the two, presenters are asked to relate their papers to the following topics: * Music and Cinema * Transnational Cinema * Conflict and Violence * Marginalised Voices * Race and Ethnicity * Independent and 'arthouse' cinema * Gender and Sexuality * Star Studies * Picturing Politics * Documentary Cinema The conference will feature a retrospective of the work of renowned Chicano director Jesús Treviño, who will screen his work and discuss his films and TV career as the director of internationally renowned series including Law and Order Criminal Intent, Star Trek: Voyager and ER. We will also host a screening and discussion of the Paraguayan documentary Feliciano Centurión: Abrazo Íntimo al natural (2016), followed by a discussion with its producer Fabián Bozzolo. Abstracts for papers of no more than 20 minutes in length should be sent to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> no later than October 20, 2016. __________ Dr Niamh Thornton | Reader in Latin American Studies Head of Iberian and Latin American Studies [1] http://www.liv.ac.uk/cultures-languages-and-area-studies/staff/niamh-thornton/ Rm 416 | Department of Modern Languages and Cultures | Cypress Bldg | Chatham Street | University of Liverpool | Liverpool | L69 7ZR Phone: +0044 (0)151 794 2753 | Twitter: @enortee | Website: www.niamhthornton.net<http://www.niamhthornton.net/> Modern Languages Open: Writing Sprint https://modernlangdigital.wordpress.com/ Specular Ghosts Project http://specularghosts.wordpress.com/ [Description: Description: http://ukisres01.bloomsburylan.com/getimage.aspx?id=166233&class=books&cat=default&size=web&type=web&dpi=72&bibliologin=1&s=3794b5c7-878f-44c3-a7b5-f0452e9ca632]<http://bloomsburycp3.codemantra.com/widgets/9781441128683/RevolutionAndRe.html> -------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA mailing list -------------------------------------------------------- To manage your subscription or unsubscribe from the MECCSA list, please visit: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=MECCSA&A=1 ------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA is the subject association for the field of media, communication and cultural studies in UK Higher Education.
