I am looking for two chapters to complete this anthology, to be published by Continuum in
2009: one on Italian cinema, and the second on male rape, looking more specifically at Bruno
Dumont's 29 Palms.

Please send a proposal asap and no later than June 20th, 2008 to:
dominique_at_dominiquerussell.ca

Proposals should include:
- Provisional title,
- 500-word abstract

Below is the original cfp:

In her 2001 book Watching Rape, Sarah Projansky, argues that rape is
a key force throughout the history of film, and that "one cannot
fully understand cinema itself without addressing rape and its
representation" (26).
