Call for Papers 2010 Film & History Conference: Representations of Love in Film and Television November 11-14, 2010 Hyatt Regency Milwaukee www.uwosh.edu/filmandhistory Deadline Extended!! New Third Round Deadline: June 1, 2010 Keynote Speaker: Director and Film Theorist Dr. Laura Mulvey Film & History invites proposals for individual papers, panels, and roundtables for our upcoming conference, "Representations of Love in Film and Television," to be held November 11-14, 2010, in Milwaukee, WI. Please see the categories of active topic areas, below. The conference will look at how love as psychology, as dramatic principle, as historical agent, as cultural stage, as ethical standard has been represented in film and television. Questions about the nature of love define not just couples or parents and their children but whole communities and nations, shaping their religions, their economic policies, their media programming, their social values, their most powerful fears and ambitions. Love in each era defines the struggles worth enduring and the stories worth telling, from Gone With the Wind and Casablanca to Hamlet and Cleopatra, from The Jazz Singer and The Sound of Music to The Graduate and Boogie Nights, from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and The Ten Commandments to Easy Rider and The Right Stuff, from The 400 Blows and Life Is Beautiful to Amelie and Muriel's Wedding. This conference will examine the aesthetic representations of love on screen and will assess their historical, cultural, and philosophical implications. Areas currently open for paper and panel submissions include the following categories and topics.
