Flickering Landscapes: Cinematic Representations of the West

This conference will be focused on the question of how landscape, place,
and location become a rich, problematic, contradictory subject in the
cinematic Western, both in the "golden age" of the Western and since.
The Western landscape has both iconic significance and daily meaning for
many people, and has come to represent America as strongly as any set of
images can. Our task will be to both identify and explore the existing
narratives and meanings that the landscape in the cinematic Western has,
and also to ask how those narratives and meanings might be altered or
even subverted while the Western is retained as a genre.
