Call for Papers: Screening the Past: Special Issue (2010)
Cinema/Photography: Beyond Representation
Guest Editors: Des OčRawe and Sam Rohdie
The development of new digital technologies and representational forms has
revived interest in the relations between photography and cinema, an
interest that is both creative and critical. Independent film-makers are
availing themselves of alternative exhibition formats and spaces for their
work (e.g. multi-media installations, galleries, the internet, etc.), and
moving image experimentation is now commonplace in the fields of
contemporary fine art, design, music, and theatre. The writings of Bazin,
Barthes, Metz, and Deleuze are being re-read in light of the aesthetic and
institutional implications of digitalisation. A substantial body of work is
now being devoted to such topics as: the movement of stillness, and vice
versa; the expressive significance of still photographs in specific films;
films that are about photography and/or particular photographers;
photography that takes the cinema, particularly the cinematic apparatus as
its subject matter; and, the film-making of photographers, and the
photographic work of film-makers.
Screening the Past is seeking original, or substantially revised, and/or
newly translated articles on the aesthetic and institutional relations
between film, photography, and the visual arts. In particular, we are
interested in writing that is attentive to cinematic forms and their
reconfiguration within the contemporary visual arts.
Please send 500 word abstracts/outline proposals to both editors by February
15, 2010.
