American Independent Cinema
Past, Present and Future.
An international conference co-organised by Claire Molloy (Liverpool John
Moores University) and Yannis Tzioumakis (University of Liverpool).
May 8th- 10th 2009
Liverpool
In recent years the field of American independent cinema has enjoyed
particular critical attention. The publication of a number of studies on
the subject and the development of courses that examine American
independent cinema as a separate object of study from mainstream Hollywood
cinema has demonstrated that American independent cinema is a distinct
discursive category and therefore deserves to be explored in depth.
Globalization. Neoliberalism. Planetarities. Contemporary critical
discourse attempting to address the relationship between local
cultural/sociopolitical trends and global systemic developments is
frequently marked by the use of theoretical models that (by virtue of being
employed as means of simplification rather than complication) gradually
devolve into less and less rigorous shorthand systems. Polemically
over-used and theoretically under-developed discussions of "globalization"
and "neoliberalism" that point out that there is a link between global and
local and that stop at the vague suggestion that we can "trace the global
in the local" arguably help us little in the effort to concretely

The Male Empire under the Female Gaze
Call for Papers
Annual ACLA Conference
March 26-29, 2009
Harvard University
Papers are invited for an ACLA seminar on “The Male Empire under the Female
Gazeâ€.
Imperialism is undeniably a male-oriented and male-dominated affair.
However, the ‘female’ element in the process cannot and should not be
overlooked. The womenfolk made their own contribution â"€ seemingly
insignificant, yet indispensable in reality â"€ to the construction and
consolidation of the Empire. Mary Procida rightly reminds us that the
‘empire may have been masculine, but it certainly was not exclusively male’.
This proposed panel seeks papers that will analyze the "deep dish"
of "literary snap queens" in American literature, drama, or cinema. The
term "snap queen" generally refers to effeminate queer identities, who
wield words as subversive weapons against established authority. "Deep
dish" signifies linguistic acts laced with camp appeal and witticisms.
The discourse may be specifically rooted in gossip, routine conversation,
or instances of repartee, and its practice is not confined to queer
identities. Thus, characters possesing a camp appeal or the authors and
playwrights who give them their lines and personas may serve as points of
inquiry toward analyzing the verbal art and "deep dish" of literary snap

Gilman and Visual Culture: Beyond the “Florid Arabesqueâ€
American Literature Association 20th Annual Conference
May 21-24, 2009
The Westin Copley Place - Boston, MA
In Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s corpus, “The Yellow Wall-Paper†may only be
the most obvious example of the relays between visual surfaces, politics,
décor, and words. From visual surfaces very clearly detailed (the titular
object in “The Rocking-Chair,†for instance) to visual information left
rather hazy (certain architectural details of Herland), Gilman used her
ekphrastic powers creatively and to various literary and political
effects.
