Seeking papers for a panel proposal for the Society for Cinema Studies
conference in Denver, CO, May 23-26, 2002.

Sound Theory/Sound Technology

We invite proposals assessing the role of the sound track in the cinema and
engaging such theorists as Michel Chion, Rick Altman, et al. Possible
approaches to include but by no means limited to:

* the imbrication of sound technology and diegetic image in constituting
Œaudiovision¹
* the semiotics of electronic or mechanical special effects
* the function of popular or classical music as a common language
translating culturally specific meanings within international cinema.
