Please join us for the Fourth International Women and the Silent Screen

Conference which will be held at the University of Guadalajara in the

beautiful colonial city of Guadalajara, Mexico June 7 through June 10, 2006.

Following the first Women and the Silent Screen Conference, held in Utrecht

in 1999, the second in Santa Cruz, CA in 2001, and the third in Montreal in

2004, the Guadalajara conference will include scholarly panels and workshops

that advance research on historical and theoretical issues related to women

and silent cinema from 1898 through 1937.



The conference will feature three plenary sessions: “Feminist

Historiography;” “Gender Matters: The Politics of the Archive;” and “Women

and Cinema Across Continents.” In addition, we will screen rare examples of

silent Mexican, Latin American, European, and U.S. films.



Submit a 150-word abstract, a paper title, and a two-line biographical

statement for either a panel or a workshop by October 1, 2005 to Patricia

Torres San Martín at [log in to unmask]
