History and Memory in Cinema (anthology)

Edited by Christina Lee

We are soliciting contributions for an anthology which will address the ways in
which history and memory have been (re)presented and reconstructed in cinema –
encompassing both fictional and non-fictional – narratives. The book will
explore how binaries between fact and fiction, truth and fantasy, and the
public and the private have become blurred.

Call for Papers:

I am looking for papers for a seminar called "Literary Perversions:
Reconfiguring the Limits of the Human".

The seminar is to be part of the American Comparative Literature Association
(ACLA) Conference. Princeton University, March 23-26, 2006.

Seminar Organizer: David Sigler, University of Virginia
