We seek proposals for presentations taking diverse approaches to the
cosmopolitan novel--its definitions, narratives, and changing
cartographies in the past/present/future.
Proposals focused on individual authors/novels as well as
historical/theoretical approaches are welcome. We especially invite
approaches that challenge/interrogate dominant paradigms(e.g.
postnational, metropolitan, or neoliberal cosmopolitanisms).

This is an update to a call for papers I sent out last year, with regard to
a new anthology tentatively titled Renegade Visions: Films and filmmakers
that defy popular cinema. The anthology's aim is to examine independent,
experimental, cult, or maligned cinema, across the globe that has gone
against the grain of commercial and popular
cinema.
I have collected over 18 articles for the anthology, though there are a
some key filmmakers which have yet to be covered which I feel is essential
to the book.
These filmmakers include:
Guy Maddin
Gus Van Sant
Carlos Reygades (Japon)
Wisit Sasanatieng (Tears of the Black Tiger)
