Call for Papers: The IFVCR Network Conference ‘You Talkin’ to Me?’:
Dialogue and Communication in Film
(Extended Deadline)
We have extended the deadline to 31st March 2017 to submit a proposal to
the conference ‘You Talkin’ to Me?’: Dialogue and Communication in Film,
organized by the Interdisciplinary Film and Visual Culture Research (IFVCR)
Network. The conference will take place at Cardiff University in the School
of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies on 5th–6th June 2017.
The aim of the conference is to provide a platform for researchers and
practitioners to present new research and developments relating to the
comparatively underrepresented areas of dialogue and communication in film.
We are interested in language-centered readings of films and we encourage
novel theoretical perspectives and methodologies for the analysis of film
dialogue.
All are welcome to submit proposals, but we are particularly keen to
receive submissions from PhD students.
Topics may include but are not limited to:
Tools for film dialogue analysis
Functions of dialogue in film
Characterization through dialogue
Film dialogue and gender stereotypes
Film dialogue economy
Improvisation
Dialogue as a means to increase realism
