I'm forwarding the following call for papers on behalf of Vivian Sobchack and Rhona Berenstein. -------------------------Text-of-forwarded-mail-------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS: "SCARY WOMEN" This is a call for contributions to SCARY WOMEN: FEMALE MONSTERS AND FIENDS IN AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE, an anthology coedited by Vivian Sobchack (UCLA) and Rhona J. Berenstein (UC, Irvine). The editors are seeking a few additional 25-30 page manuscripts (in nearly final or completed drafts)for a scholarly anthology that is near completion. Ccurrent contributors include Sobchack, Berenstein, Linda Williams, B. Ruby Rich, Lynn Spigel,Barbara Creed, and Janet Staiger. Although we are looking for work in these areas from established scholars, we would be glad to consider relevant submissions from doctoral students. We are specifically interested in submissions that focus on the following two areas which are now underrepresented in the volume: (1) "scary women" in American television (past or present) and/or; (2) "scary women" of color in American cinema or television. (What constitutes the "scary" is open to broad interpretation. Current topics range from middle-aged women in low-budget horror/SF to Barbie to "bad girls" and "psychofemmes.") Please send three copies of submissions to Sobchack and Berenstein by October 1, 1995 c/o Andrea Kalas Manager Archive Research and Study Center 46 Powell Library UCLA 405 Hilgard Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90024 For further information regarding this anthology and this call for submissions, please call Andrea Kalas at (310) 206-5390, or email Vivian Sobchack at: [log in to unmask] or Rhona Berenstein at [log in to unmask] Work Address: Program in Film Studies HH340C University of California Irvine, CA 92717-2435 (714) 824-6279 (714) 824-2464 FAX ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
