Calls for Papers Caucus on Class Society for Cinema Studies Conference Denver, Colorado -- May 23-26, 2002 Deadline: September 20, 2001 http://terri1.home.mindspring.com 1) Workshop: "Sexual Politics and Radical Film Criticism" DESCRIPTION: Participants in this workshop are asked to focus on the intersections of sexual politics (queer studies, feminism, sexual liberation) with Marxism and similar radical methods challenging the dominant political-economic order and looking to class struggle. An ambition is to renew radical critical strategy that reinvigorates the association of Marxism with psychoanalysis and puts both in service of both radical readings of media and political activism.

Proposals should focus on radical classroom practices, including syllabus construction, pedagogical strategies, film selections, and other concerns that might give media education a class-based, labor-based critical perspective at a time of overwhelming control of film/media by capital.
