Nicholas Ray

Papers are invited for a collection of essays on Shawn Ryan's award-winning and controversial TV series The Shield. We are seeking critically sophisticated but accessible essays, written from a variety of perspectives, which will stimulate serious debate around this remarkable show.

 

Contributions may seek to address (but are certainly not limited to) the following topics:

 

--Racial identity and racial conflict

--Testimony and confession

--Masculinities

--Homosociality and homosexuality

--Familial and symbolic paternities

--Collective identity (gangs, teams, mobs etc) and collective violence

--Bodily inscriptions of violence (wounds, brandings, tattoos etc)

Seminar papers are invited that explore ways in which Christian scholars can participate in the "turn to religion" by strengthening a critical sensibility that weighs the delicate registers of belief and unbelief; by developing more vigorous theoretical paradigms that take religion seriously; and by demonstrating that Christian commitments can lead to greater interpretive clarity.

500 word abstracts to Susan M. Felch (felch_at_calvin.edu) by March 15, 2007.
