Please excuse any cross postings. CALL FOR PAPERS We are seeking essays for an anthology to be entitled Youth/Culture/Shock: Adolescents in International Cinema, to be published by a major academic press in the field. As "youth" and "adolescence" can be vague and contested terms, we recommend analyses of films about characters between the ages of 12 and 20. We intend to be pluralistic in approach and nationality, working from a variety of critical methods and examining a diverse range of cinemas over time. To give an example of our scope, we would welcome essays on such films as The 400 Blows (France, 1959) and Mon Oncle Antoine (Canada, 1971) to more recent entries like My Sassy Girl (South Korea, 2001) and City of God (Brazil, 2002). We need abstracts (50-100 words) and proposals (no more than 1,000 words) by December 15, 2003. Proposals should mention the films to be examined and include a tentative bibliography. For accepted proposals, we will need completed articles by June 1, 2004. For more information or to submit a proposal, please contact Timothy Shary (author of Generation Multiplex: The Image of Youth in American Cinema, 2002) by email at [log in to unmask], or Alexandra Seibel (NYU film studies) by email at [log in to unmask] ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
