Call for Papers. German Screen Studies Network: Postgraduate Workshop
9th September, University of Leeds.
Following the success of the inaugural GSSN symposium at King’s
College London last July, the University of Leeds is delighted to
announce that it will be hosting this year’s event. The three-day
symposium Translating Stars and Audiences: German Cinema in
Transnational Context will take place at the University of Leeds on
9-11th September 2014, and will explore the transnational star as the
emblem of a cosmopolitan and internationalist film culture that
reached its zenith in the golden age of the Weimar silents, but that
is arguably resurfacing in the transnational productions,
international image markets, and diasporic or ‘accented’ cinemas of
the contemporary globalized age.
As part of this symposium, a postgraduate workshop is being organised,
which offers postgraduate students working on all areas of German
language film the opportunity to present their research in an informal
environment. The workshop will form the first day of the symposium,
taking place at the University of Leeds on 9th September.
If you would be interested in presenting a paper on any area of your
research relating to German-language screen studies — we encourage the
broadest possible range of subjects — please send an abstract of up to
250 words to Rachel Green or Luke Postlethwaite at [log in to unmask] by
2nd May. Presentations should be limited to 20 minutes and will be
organised into several panels, with a discussion following each.
Following the one day workshop, students are invited to participate in
the remainder of the GSSN symposium, for which there is no fee.
We hope to be able to offer a limited number of travel bursaries. We
will be able to provide more information on these nearer the time.
If you have any questions regarding the postgraduate workshop or the
event as a whole, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Rachel
Green or Luke Postlethwaite via [log in to unmask]
