SCMS 2006, Vancouver, Canada A belated CALL FOR PAPERS for a proposed panel on... Narration and Migration in Autobiographical Documentary Seeking papers addressing the autobiographical turn in documentary, as filmmakers and videographers turn the camera upon themselves, using it as a tool for exploration of the self and for situating subjectivity within a broader social context. Of particular interest are narrative techniques developed by artists exploring their bicultural heritage and the thematics of familial (im)migration. How are sound, image, and words deployed to negotiate processes of differentiation between self and family, and further, to map alterities that are simultaneously generational and cultural? What role do vectors of gender, class, and ethnicity play in shaping the narrative form of autobiography? How has digital video redefined the forms of self-reflexivity at work, conceding the epistemological limits of autobiography as a form of knowledge production about self and other?
