CALL FOR PAPERS
The Film-Philosophy Conference 2018 at the University of Gothenburg invites
proposals for presentations on any subject related to film, media and
philosophy. We especially encourage proposals from LGBTQI, feminist and BME
scholars. There is no single overall theme. As with last year, we are using
a “track” system that will provide a number of broad headings to which a
presenter may wish to attach their submission. There is, of course, an Open
track if you feel that your paper does not fit within any of the other
tracks.
Please note that this conference will be carer/parent & child friendly and
will have open access onsite child care facilities (the cost of which is
levied and shared through the conference fee of every participant).
The tracks for 2018 are:
Open Track
Authorship
Feminist & Queer approaches; ontology of female cinema; philosophies of
cinematic activism; counter-cinemas and third cinemas; the gaze; feminist
phenomenologies.
Media
Virtual reality and interactivity; posthumanism & technology; new media and
politics; philosophy & video games; philosophy and film data; media
archaeology & philosophy; Television; Online and social media.
Narrative
Complex narratives; counter-narratives; postcolonial narratives; feminist &
LGBTQI narratives; serial narratives; subversive use of genre; soundscape
as narrative.
Pop Culture
Television; Music videos; online media; advertising; fashion.
Ethics
Taboo; ethics of exhibition, curation and programming; representation;
censorship and speech.
Video Essays
Thinking through images.
Workshops
Topics should be presented either by short papers and discussion or group
discussion based on an issue or text.
How to do film-philosophy? How to teach film-philosophy? Ethical teaching
practices. Activism and intersectionality. Creative scholarship.
We are *only accepting individual proposals for presentations of 20
minutes*. There will be no pre-constituted panel proposals, since the track
system will allow for papers to group organically around common themes and
approaches.
We invite 300-word abstract proposals to be submitted by *31st January
2018.*
All abstracts will be considered by at least two members of the conference
committee and decisions will be announced in March 2018.
