CALL FOR PAPERS for Film Volume

ReFocus: The Films of Ida Lupino

From Outrage (1950) to The Trouble with Angels (1966), among many other titles, few filmmakers created as unique a body of work in the United States as Ida Lupino (1918-1995), but few directors have been as critically overlooked in existing scholarly literature. Lupino also directed a significant number of television episodes.

We are currently soliciting abstracts of approximately 100 words for essays to be included in a book-length anthology on Ida Lupino to appear in 2015. Essays may focus on individual films or on themes and topics that pervade her films. These essays may also focus in work in other media, such as television.

Anaphora Literary Press

I plan on submitting a panel proposal to the Rhetoric Society conference coming up in May 2014. I would like to find 2-3 other presenters for my panel. You should be an assistant+ professor at a college or university in the US. I am currently finishing a book for McFarland called "Formulaic Writing within Genres" on currently popular literary genres. I would like to create a panel on the generic structure of currently popular fiction genres (primarily in the novel). Please familiarize yourself with the Rhetoric Society prior to sending a query - they are interested in close rhetorical textual studies (genre, tone, characters, etc.).
