Dear colleagues,
There is just over a week left to register for ‘What is Cinema History’ – a HoMER Network conference in collaboration with the Early Cinema in Scotland Project (http://earlycinema.gla.ac.uk), which will take place in Glasgow, 22-24 June 2015. You will find the programme draft and registration link on the HoMER Network website, http://homernetwork.org/
I would like to draw your attention to some of the panels and papers that may be of particular interest for members of this Network:
WHAT IS FEMINIST FILM HISTORY? Panel:
Hilary A. Hallett - Elinor Glyn’s ‘It:’ Rethinking Glamour in Early Hollywood
Shelley Stamp - Noir’s Phantom Ladies: Tracking Female Audiences in the 1940s
Melanie Bell - Creating Archives, Creating Histories: Questions of Evidence, Knowledge and Power
INDIVIDUAL PAPERS
Alison Loader - Obscured And Uncovered: Women and the Splendid Camera Obscuras of Nineteenth-Century Edinburgh
Michele Leigh - Theorizing the Reluctant Subject: (Re)Writing Women into Cinema History
Susanne Ellis and Phylls Smith - Chocolate Sellers, Clerks and Movie Palaces in a Subordinate Industry: Women’s work and descriptions of cinema in the 1911 census
There are many other papers that propose a critical historiography and a challenge, alternative, or nuance to established narratives. Furthermore, methodological and archival questions are also foregrounded, so we hope the discussions will be stimulating and open to new perspectives.
An exciting addition to the programme has just been announced, as the DICIS Network (http://digitalcinemastudies.com) is sponsoring a workshop on data sharing and linkage for historians, led by Dr Sharon Howard (University of Sheffield) on the Monday afternoon before the opening plenary. The workshop is free to attend but places are limited. For more information please go to https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/connecting-histories-data-sharing-and-linkage-for-historians-tickets-16802598023

We look forward to welcoming you in Glasgow,
Best regards,
