Eighhteenth Ohio University Film Conference;  November 6-8, 1997.
 
Call for Papers and Pre-constituted Panels
 
Commencing in 1997, the Ohio University Film Conference will be
convened on a biannual basis. The Eighteenth Conference will take
place November 6-8, 1997 with the theme "state of the Fantastic:
Horror Films, New Interactive Media, and the Contemporary
Imagination."
 
Traditionally speaking, the fantastic as an articulation of
non-rationality or superrationality constitutes one of the most
heavily interpreted genres by film scholars, especially because of
its"natural" connection to psychoanalytic and sociological readings.
This conference, however, will seek to:
 1. Readdress problems related to the psychoanalytic and the
     socio-political reading of films of fantastic.
  2. Reassess how the realm of the fantastic related to the
      imagination of different groups of people.
  3. Explore the different forms of horror films in different cinemas
      such as that in the Latin American, the East Asian and the African
      cinemas.
  4. Exproe the possible impact of current technology on both the
      film production and reception process.
  5. Reappropriate different paradigms for the understanding of the
new interactive forms of the fantastic, including those that are used
outside of the setting of traditional cinema such as video games and
others.
