Hi all, I didn't realize the panel was on both race and sexuality. Here's the updated info (including the official blurb). Wen BULLETIN BOARD PROPOSALS SCS 2000 CONFERENCE The following panels and workshops are being developed for the March 9-12, 2000 conference in Chicago. http://www.cinemastudies.org. DISCOURSES OF RACE AND SEXUALITY IN RECENT FILM NOIR The 1990s have witnessed a renaissance of American film noir that complicates our understanding of the genre. This panel seeks papers that address how representations of race and sexuality in recent film noir challenge or replicate the tropes of classic black and white film noir or film noir of the more recent past (i.e., the 1970s). In particular, how do these representations of race and sexuality mediate and critique a nostalgia for the genre? How does the construction of violence in noir also rely upon specific kinds of racial or sexual identities?
