Please forgive any cross posting. Transnational Chinese Cinemas, Embodiment, Corporeality, and Desire Call for Papers Editors: Brian Bergen-Aurand, Nanyang Technological University Mary Mazzilli, Nanyang Technological University Hee Wai Siam, Nanyang Technological University This collection invites essays considering the evolving relation among National, Transnational Chinese, and Sinophone Cinemas and conceptualizations and deployments of embodiment and the body. It seeks to consider multiple aspects of Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinematic production, distribution, exhibition, and reception (critical and theoretical). And, it strives to consider bodies located in different times, places, and situations. The editors seek perspectives on Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas in terms of representation and function, identification and recognition, as phenomenological encounter, material process, “lived experience,” “sensation,” where cognitive, emotional, and corporeal processes meet. These essays will engage with Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas in the light of new approaches to the traditional mind/body divide. This volume on Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas calls for examinations of these issues in all forms. The editors invite essays that consider these (and other related) topics: Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas and affect Transnational Chinese and Sinophone and Sinophone Cinemas and the senses Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas and the body Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas and cognition Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas, Sensation, Sensuality, and Sentiment Transnational Chinese and Sinophone Cinemas as materially-embodied structure Desire and Disgust Bodies in cinema and bodies at the cinema Audio-visual-haptic Reception Questions of Gender, Sex, Sexuality Questions of Race, Class, Ethnicity Questions of Religion and the body in Transnational Chinese Cinemas Questions of the body politic and Transnational Chinese Cinemas (Dis)ability and Crip Theory Kinship, Age, and Attunement Norms and Ideals Cyborgs, Avatars, and Virtuality Embodiment and disembodiment New media and new cinematic experiences New media and the Posthuman body The submission deadline is 1 April 2013 (for 500-word abstracts).
