Hi, All: I've been asked to organize a group of short papers for ELN. If anyone is interested, here are some details: "As the special issue editor of the inaugural volume of the new English Language Notes (March 2006), "Literary History and the Religious Turn," I am writing to invite you to organize a cluster on Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ." We are hoping that you might solicit contributions from perhaps 5-6 scholars interested in taking on this film and its implications for the study of cinema at a moment of heightened religiosity in the American public sphere. Given our dedication to returning ELN to its traditional strength as a forum for shorter, note-length interventions in various subfields of literary and cultural study, we'd be happy to receive contributions that are quite brief: no more than 4-6 double-spaced manuscript pages for each contribution would be just fine."
