SCMS Translation/Publication Committee
Call for Translations
2022-2023

*DEADLINE EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 30th, 2022*

The Journal for Cinema and Media Studies publishes translations of outstanding scholarly and creative work on cinema. The originals may be in any language and come from any period or geographic region. We welcome two types of proposals: (1) a single text such as a journal article, book chapter, or self-contained section of a book that focuses on a particular topic in a unified, coherent way; and (2) a group of smaller texts that are linked thematically, geographically, or otherwise.

The GCWS conference “Liberating Temporality and Spatiality ” welcomes graduate students in all areas of study to submit their abstracts or synopses of in-progress scholarly papers, dissertation or thesis chapters, article drafts, or in-progress film/mixed media works. Proposals may come in the form of papers, films, art, performance, visual art, or alternate forms not listed above.

I am editing the Companion to Sexuality of the Medieval West with Jenny Bledsoe for Arc Humanities. The projected publication date is early 2024. This volume is intended to be an update of the classical Bullough and Brundage volume, with a more inclusive approach.

We are looking someone to write on North Africa. The deadline for submission can be somewhat negotiable, but May 2023 would be ideal. The essay should 6,000-6,500 words, and use a broad approach rather than a specific argument (e.g., handbook style). Chicago style citations as appropriate. Use of images possible as well. All essays peer reviewed.

Please contact me for further details and/or with questions.

Call for papers: XXIV Annual Graduate Student Conference, Feb. 9 & 10, 2023 

School of Cinema, San Francisco State University 

Deadline Submission: October 30th, 2022

“Requiem for Netflix? Reflections on Two Decades of Streaming”  

Keynote Speaker: Juan Llamas-Rodriguez (Assistant Professor, Annenberg School of Communication, University of Pennsylvania) 

The ability to engage with moving images without leaving the home on an increasingly dizzying number of devices and with more and more physically disparate audiences has forced a reckoning with the very nature of these images.  

This panel will discuss the significance of women telling their own stories, and how testimonial narratives are integral to recovering marginalized and forgotten histories. We are interested in papers specifically exploring women’s transnational identity concerning injustices of race, gender, class, and nationality. 

You are invited to contribute to a new SpokenWeb digital publication project: an anthology of annotated audiotexts, that you will select, frame and annotate. 

Do you research or teach using audio or video recordings of literary events? Want to share your process, collection, and insights with a broader audience in collaboration with the SpokenWeb community? We seek SpokenWeb team members to create an anthology of digitally annotated literary performances, lectures, panels, interviews, workshops, and other category-defying recorded events held in SpokenWeb collections.

Comparative Political Theory Conference

Title: “The Art of Ruling: Ancient Conceptions of Leadership in a Global Context”

Date: December 3, 2022

Location: New York University, Liberal Studies (726 Broadway, 6th Floor)

Description:

ProudFlesh: New Afrikan Journal of Culture, Politics and Consciousness is seeking contributions for a special issue entitled “Black Motion: Looking Our Way Back to Black.” This issue will examine how contemporary black people of both Africa and the African diaspora reinvent and reimagine their identities in terms that celebrate or draw attention to the body. These ways of imagining, representing the body and its various parts have historically played important roles in the lives of both Africans and peoples of African descent. Yet scholars have often neglected to study such representations and their significance in the day-to-day existence, lifestyles, hobbies, performances, and imaginations of blacks living in both the United States and abroad.
