Call for Papers Odd Man Out (Carol Reed, 1947): Film, History, Politics a symposium hosted by Huston School of Film & Digital Media, NUI Galway Saturday 25 May 2019* Papers are invited for a one-day symposium on Carol Reed’s 1947 film starring James Mason as a wounded IRA man on the run, scuttling through the dark streets of Belfast in a bid to evade capture by the British authorities. The symposium (and screening of the film) is organised by Breandán Mac Suibhne (The End of Outrage: Post-Famine Adjustment in Rural Ireland, Oxford 2018) and Tony Tracy (Huston School of Film & Digital Media, NUI Galway) and seeks to develop upon existing scholarship across a variety of themes and approaches. To date we have a number of eminent speakers confirmed but are keen to promote as multidimensional approach as possible. Among the themes we would wish to consider are: Odd Man Out as adaptation; its status as an Anglo-Irish literary/cinematic narrative from historical, gendered and political perspectives; its imagining of [Northern-Irish] space; its place within the post-war oeuvre of director Reed; its contemporary reception and ongoing legacy. It is envisaged that proceedings will be published in a Journal special issue Please forward proposals (Up to 250 words) before April 1st to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> * The symposium is planned as an ancillary event to the "Violence, Space and Archives" conference at NUI Galway and is free of charge https://www.wildatlanticway.com/home Dr Tony Tracy Acting Director Huston School of Film and Digital Media NUI Galway www.filmschool.ie<http://www.filmschool.ie> -------------------------------------------------------- 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.
