Matthew Sorrento

Identity Theory (IdentityTheory.com), a literary/cultural web journal, is
developing a film section and is now seeking reviewers to cover theatrical
releases and new DVDs. IDT also plans to include reviews of older titles, as
long as some context (historical or genre-related) is provided and the
overdone classics are avoided. Reviews of older films newly appearing on
DVD, as well as literary-related films and rediscovered classics, are highly
desired. Send a pitch of your idea, your resume, and a writing sample to
Matthew Sorrento at film_at_identitytheory.com.

<BODY>"Post-Millennial Queer Pop Culture and the Construction of Community"<BR>A Panel at the 2007 NEMLA Convention in Baltimore Maryland, March 1-4 2007<BR><BR>This panel seeks papers that explore recent queer pop culture (including tv, film, art, comics, porn, music, theater, the internet) and how this pop culture cultivates and/or constructs community. To what extent do these pop culture products make and/or perpetuate assumptions about queer community? To what extent do they reflect the evolution of a queer community? Papers may examine representations of queer life in mainstream popular culture as long as the papers focus on the depiction of queer community.
