Hello:

I sent a CFP about a week ago and haven't seen it come through yet.  I
have included another copy of the call with this message in the hopes
that you will post it.

Thank you,
Heather Addison


Call for Papers

Hollywood Motherhood
(a collection)

As E. Ann Kaplan has said, the mother has traditionally been a
paradoxical figure:  present but absent, everywhere but nowhere,
necessary but existing on the margins of discourse.  In recent years,
excellent scholarship on motherhood in film has been produced--work
that examines motherhood from historical, psychoanalytic, and/or
generic perspectives.  Nonetheless, further work needs to consider more
fully the context(s) within which cinematic representations of
motherhood are created.  This is a particularly important question for
Hollywood films, which are produced within a cultural institution that
privileges consumerism, physical culture, and youth.  We are accepting
submissions for a collection that will investigate Hollywood's paradigm
of motherhood in all of its forms.  Essays may be close readings and/or
historical analyses.  They may use any theoretically informed method
and treat any stage of motherhood and any period, genre, or style of
film.  (Comparative approaches that treat motherhood in independent,
avant-garde, or international films are also welcomed.)

If interested, please send a 300-500 word proposal, brief bibliography,
and vita by April 1, 2004.  Completed papers will be due October 1,
2004.

All proposals and correspondence can be sent via e-mail to Elaine Roth
at Indiana University South Bend ([log in to unmask]).  Other co-editors
are Heather Addison (Western Michigan University) and Mary Kate
Goodwin-Kelly (Saint Mary's College).
