This call for papers is for a panel on Ang Lee's film "Brokeback Mountain,"
based on the short story by Annie Proulx. Some topics suggested, but not
limited to, include:

-The character Enis' violent acts when confronted by his emotional
investment with the character Jack
-The struggle to label the movie gay or not along with the trailers about
the movie that purposefully show the two male characters in loving moments
with their wives and violent moments with each other
-How is humor used in the movie and reaction to the movie
-Different reactions from the audience (for example, laughing during serious
moments)
-What is lost in translation from the short story to the big screen
