This is a call for papers for issue #56 of cineAction, an international film journal published 3 times a year from Toronto Canada. "Shifting Narratives", the theme for issue#56 , is intended to provoke a closer look at what actually counts as 'storytelling' in films today. We are particularly interested in investigations into the ways in which (and reasons why) classical narrative conventions seem to have been manipulated, transformed or discarded altogether . Some aspects that may be explored include the technological (e.g. impact of videotape recorders and dvd players on filmwatching and analysing ), formal/structural (e.g. television editing practices of Sesame Street , MTV and commercials), and ideological (e.g. independent film and non-classical, non-American, non-western films and filmmaking practices). Papers are to be submitted by July 1, 2001 with a mailed hard copy and emailed file attachment (saved as text only). It would be appreciated if a 50-100 word proposal be submitted/emailed by March15 directly to Susan Morrison , the editor of this issue. All correspondence should be similarly directed to: Susan Morrison 314 Spadina Road Toronto On M5R 2V6 Canada Email: [log in to unmask] ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.tcf.ua.edu/ScreenSite
