--CALL FOR PAPERS--
Re-viewing REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE
I am seeking papers that take a fresh look at Nicholas Ray's 1955 film.
Possible topics include re-evaluation of the film and:
--Hollywood melodrama
--Ray's oeuvre
--Star discourse of James Dean (as well as that of Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo,
and Dennis Hopper)
--Teen market and youth culture
--Cold War concerns about families, suburbs, and juvenile delinquency
--Depictions and reception of violence
--The context of the shifting institutional and social status of Hollywood
in the mid-1950s
--Its status as both canonical and popular text
For those planning to attend the Society for Cinema Studies annual
conference in Washington, D.C. next May 24-27, I am assembling a panel at
which papers about the film could be presented.
As well, proposals for 20-25pp papers will also be considered for
publication in a handbook being prepared on the film.
Send 250-300 word proposals by September 15 to: David Slocum at
[log in to unmask], or by fax to 212.995.4557; inquiries are also welcome
by phone at 212.998.3970.
