Conference Call for Papers “Rethinking Film and Cinema History through Global and Digital Approaches (early 20th century – 1970s)”
The ERC Starting Grant project “Social Networks of the Past. Mapping Hispanic and Lusophone Literary Modernity (1898-1959)” and the Global Literary Studies Research Lab, with colaboration of Prof. Malte Hagener from the Philipps-Universität Marburg, has opened the call for papers for the International Conference “Rethinking Cinema and Film History Through Global and Digital Approaches (early 20th century-1970s)”, which will take place between 5th and 7th of October 2022 at IN3-UOC, Seu Poblenou, Barcelona, Spain.
The Conference aims at contributing to analyse and push further the following issues:
1) global perspectives in film studies and, more specifically, in relation to how global and digital approaches can help rethink film history and grapple with hegemonic discourses; 2) and case studies that may reflect on these issues through the analysis of less-studied geographical scales and less well-known cinematic projects and spaces of sociability, such as film clubs and film criticism. The congress welcome proposals that may contribute to highlighting women’s relevance in film history and redefine measuring tools to approach historical events from a gender perspective.
The keynote speakers are Valeria Camporesi (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid), Michael Cowan (Iowa University), Rielle Navitski (University of Georgia), Julia Noordegraaf (University of Amsterdam), Masha Salazkina (Concordia University), Georgina Torello (Universidad de la República, Uruguay), Daniela Treveri Gennari (Oxford Brookes University).
Authors should submit an abstract (300 words), filiation, bio-note and a short reference list to the conference organizers Diana Roig-Sanz, Ainamar Clariana, Pablo Suárez-Mansilla, and Malte Hagener via the email address globalcinemahistoryconference@gmail.com before May 1st, 2022.
