Call for Submission

Interpreting the multiple cultural histories of a region and their respective intersections are vital for understanding the ways people perceive new geographies. This edited volume seeks to explore the intersections of history and theories concerning environmental memory, inclusive of cultural memory and notions of space. Collectively, they are important aspects of these interpretations.

Abstract. The goal of this essay is to provide an understanding of Teresa Brennan's theories in The Transmission of Affect by interweaving its concept of the self with the narrative of Marian Engel's novel Bear. Queer theory, as posited by Timothy Morton, points out that "heterosexist gender performance produces a metaphysical manifold that separates 'inside' from 'outside'." Brennan's book offers a concept of the self that challenges many heteronormative binaries that dichotomize the individual as possessing stable inner/outer, subjective/objective, internal/external sides.

University West of England

This is a call for papers, for a new anthology tentatively titled Wrath of God: The films of Klaus Kinski.

The collection looks to bring together a series of essays (interviews with filmmakers, will be welcome) on one of cinema's truly volatile sons. Particular emphasis on Kinski's more exploitive roles and obscure gems. Essays on Kinski/Herzog will be welcome, though only one essay per film will be included in the collection.

I'm looking for critical and scholarly essays that discuss individual Kinski films or the man himself.

I have currently received essays on the following films:

Fitzcarraldo
Nosferatu
Paganini
Timestalker
Creature
Venus in Furs
