CALL FOR PAPERS
Poetic Visions of America: The Cinema of
Terrence Malick
Edited by Hannah Patterson
Commissioned by Wallflower Press, this edited collection on the cinema of
Terrence Malick will be an addition to their DirectorsΉ Cuts series, which
includes forthcoming titles on Emir Kusturica, Ken Loach, Robert Lepage,
Kathryn Bigelow, Krzystof Kieslowski, Wes Craven, Ang Lee and John Sayles.
It will include 10 -12 essays, which should be approximately 6,000 words in
length, and an introduction written by the editor.
Although many articles have been written on Terrence Malick, to date there
have been no publications that focus solely on his work. Despite the brevity
of his output, Badlands, Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line have been much
discussed by critics, cited by directors as influential on their work, and
hold a canonical place in cinema. This collection will enable his films to
be more thoroughly explored by a range of specialist writers from different
disciplines.
Suggested subject-matter areas include:
Thematics and generics
Issues of identity
Man and nature
Philosophy and Heidegger
Social codes/authority/breaking the law/outsiders
Elegy and myth
The American Dream
Representation of femininity/masculinity
Aesthetics and stylistics
Use of music
Use of voice-over
Performance and star persona
Elliptical narrative
European aesthetic/modernism
Cinematography
The man, the myth and his influence
Artistic effects on subsequent directors
The public and private
Critical reception
Suggested topics for individual films:
Badlands
Road-movie
Serial killer
Lovers on the run
American Dream
Days of Heaven
Art and the painterly
Class
The land
The Thin Red Line
Adaptation
Place within the War genre
Please send a 500-word proposal by 1st July to the editor, Hannah Patterson.
The book is then scheduled be published 12 -18 months thereafter.
