CALL FOR PAPERS
The Film-Philosophy Conference 2017 at Lancaster University
invites proposals for presentations on any subject related to
film and philosophy. There is no single overall theme.
As with last year, we are using a “track” system that will
provide a number of broad headings to which a presenter may wish
to attach their submission. There is, of course, an Open track
if you feel that your paper does not fit within any of the other
tracks.
The tracks for
2017 are:
• Open Track
• Speculative Realism and Film
• Film and Ethics
• Philosophy of Video Essays / Essay Films
• Feminist Philosophy and Film
• Eco-philosophy and Film
• Temporality and Film
• Film and the other arts
• Cognitive film-philosophy
• Emotion/Affect and Film
• Cavell and film-philosophy
• Race and Film
• Philosophy and film genres
As with last
year’s conference, we are only
accepting individual proposals for presentations of 20 minutes. There will be no pre-constituted panel
proposals. We hope that the track system will allow for papers
to group organically around common themes and approaches.
We invite 300-word abstract proposals to be submitted by 6 February 2017.
All abstracts will be considered by at least two members of the
conference committee and decisions will be announced in March
2017.
