Dear colleagues,

Gregg Redner has issued the following Call for Papers, for a panel in the Film & History area at the 2010 PCAs, which will be held in St. Louis, March 31-April 3. Please respond directly to Gregg ([log in to unmask]) with your abstracts and inquiries.


CFP: The Film Score as Delineator of Historic Space and Place.
Film & History at the PCAs (3/31-4/3/10)

Throughout its history, film music has been employed to compliment and
confirm the emotional construction of narrative space. Yet whether a
particular score has been understood to parallel or counterpoint a given
film, little attention has been paid to the way in which film scores
construct space and place in the broadest sense. This panel will consider
the way in which film music is employed to construct/ establish/ reinforce a
sense of place/ space within a given filmic context. Papers are sought which
engage the concepts of space and place either individually or together.
Those proposing papers that deal with space are invited to interpret the
term freely and may choose to think of the term from a more concrete
historical position or merely as an establisher of period.  The term space
can be interpreted in a broader sense as psychological, emotional or
physical space. Papers which approach the topic through a philosophical
methodology are particularly welcome.

Please send your 200-300 word proposal by e-mail to the Panel Chair:
Gregg Redner, Ph.D
Lecturer
Department of FIim Studies\University of Western Ontario
