"Elusive faces of the feminine. Writing and photography, face to face"

3-5 May 2007

This conference is about the relationship between photography and
writing, and the places where they meet, dialogue, cross and flee
each other. In this relationship between the photographic and the
literary, we are interested in the importance of the female face, an
alterity that neither medium can capture.

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.
