ITEM 2

Studies in European Cinema
Special Issue: Women and Contemporary European Cinema

CALL FOR PAPERS


Articles are now being sought for a special issue of Studies in European Cinema that will focus on the theme 'Women and Contemporary European Cinema', to be published as the Winter 2006 issue of the journal.

In an era which has often been described as post-feminist, is the question of women and film still one that needs posing, or has the 'woman problem' now been adequately resolved? Film studies continues to debate the interaction of women and cinema, but have the representations and the involvement of women in film changed so very much? While some commentators might argue (or simply wish) that the question of women and cinema is no longer relevant, this appears to be an opportune time to take stock and review where we have got to now that the dust has supposedly settled. The specific focus for this special issue of Studies in European Cinema is contemporary European cinema, that which can be considered to have been produced in an arguably post-feminist era. The issue as a whole seeks to shed some light on the extent to which women as subject and object interact with European cinema today, and the degree to which this interaction has negotiated not only the social, political and cultural transformations affecting women in the past but also our perceptions of women and film after the extensive development of feminist film studies.

We are therefore seeking papers from female scholars in the field, in the first instance, on the premise that women's own approach to European film is prioritised and that women should be the leading movers in any ongoing debate. Papers may address any aspects of women in contemporary European cinema. The notion of 'contemporary' in this instance refers primarily to the cinema of the past twenty years, and those submitting papers should confine themselves to this frame. Submissions should be sent to the guest editor, Dr. Ann Davies (electronic format in Word preferred). Style guidelines for submissions can be found at www.intellectbooks.com. The deadline for submissions is 1 April 2006.
