Call for Papers:
Film: Poetics versus Theory 
Northeast Modern Language Association (NEMLA)
Montreal, Quebec
April 7-11, 2010
Deadline: Sept. 20, 2009

This panel invites papers on film and film theory or cultural theory addressing Richard Allen's objection, in Hitchcock's Romantic Irony (2007), to theory-driven criticism. Allen favors "discovering" rather than "making" meaning through what David Bordwell calls "poetics." Or is all meaning "made" as Bordwell attests? Can an "ideological agenda" likewise prove uniquely qualified to "discover" meaning? Can theory and poetics learn to play well together for film's sake? For cultural studies' sake? Please send papers or abstracts of 250-500 words to Randall Spinks, [log in to unmask]
