Northeast Modern Language Association: 2-5 March 2006 in Philadelphia

I am now seeking papers for the following panel; please note the deadline has now changed to 23 September 2005.

Call for papers: Crossings: A Counter-Disciplinary Journal
Issue # 9: The "Work" of Art
DEADLINE: December 1, 2005

The ninth issue of Crossings aims at addressing the ambiguous
relationship between the aesthetic and the ethical. The binary between
ethicism (the notion of art as a guide to morality) and aestheticism
(the notion that art and morality are autonomous spheres) has
historically framed the thinking about art and ethics, but what is at
stake in limiting our thinking to this framework? We invite people to
think beyond and across this gulf and to imagine other possibilities
of art's power.

Papers of 5-8000 words are requested for a volume on any of the many varied
uses of the voice-over in the cinema. From 'The Voice of God' to an actor's
internal monologue, papers that draw upon established theorists and/or refer
to particular films or practitioners are encouraged. Some provision will be
made for accompanying film stills photography provided permission is
obtained. All contributions will be fully refereed and peer reviewed. Please
send manuscripts to;
