Call for Papers-Transgressive/Exploitation/Trash/Horror/Experimental Cinema Extended Deadline

Southwest/Texas Popular & American Culture Associations 28th Annual
Conference

The Area chair is seeking paper submissions and presentations on ANY aspect of Transgressive/Exploitation/Trash/Horror Cinema All proposals considered.

According to one critic, Transgressive cinema is film that pushes the envelope to the point of tearing it. Films, which are sometimes disturbing in tone, but still may have significant value. A Transgressive film may also just be exploitive trash as well. Certain horror films can also be considered “Transgressive.” One could also put some experimental films in this category.

I am seeking 2-3 additional chapters (approximately 20 double-spaced pages

which art for art's sake can be viewed as an attempt to re-humanize (rather
than merely de-humanize) art, the artist, and the artistic receptor.
