***Apologies for cross-postings*** CALL FOR PAPERS "The Changing Face of Evil in Film and Television" _Journal of Popular Film & Television_ Guest editor: Martin F. Norden, University of Massachusetts-Amherst The conflict of good and evil is the engine that has driven many a film and television program, but the nature of the depicted evil has often gone critically unexamined. Evil has assumed many guises, from the relatively passive evil of ordinary individuals to the collective evil of genocide, and its moving-image representations have often been closely tied to current socio-cultural phenomena. The _Journal of Popular Film & Television_ seeks essays for a theme issue on the representation of evil in film and television. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: *The film/TV representation of: -the evils of colonialism, the Holocaust, apartheid, the KKK -evil in the post-Soviet era (e.g., terrorism) -corporate evil -the banality of evil *Distinctions among Hollywood and other production systems with regard to the construction of evil *The intersections of evil with race, ethnicity, nationality, class, gender, sexuality, and disability *The shifting nature of evil within film/TV genres *The construction of evil in selected works by the same film/TV practitioner *Visual/aural strategies for representing evil (e.g., the combination of animated maps, archival footage, narration, and music in the "Why We Fight" films) *The changing nature of goodness in opposition to evil Philosophical essays on the nature of evil are also welcome, provided they are anchored in film/television studies. Submissions should be no longer than 20 pages and conform to the MLA style. Send three hard copies (with self-addressed, stamped envelope if return is desired) no later than 31 Jan. 2000 to: Martin F.
