Skal > > > >Call for Submissions: A proposed collection on filmic >representations of Dracula that transcend genre and identity > >Submission Deadline: January 15, 2007 > >This collection of essays seeks to investigate and explore the >impulse by which global communities continue to reinvent Dracula in >film, whether in an attempt to confront oppression or repression, or >to embody social ills and taboos. Thus, theoretical analyses of the >transnational generation of Dracula's cinematic offspring are highly >sought. Contributions to this collection of essays should examine >Dracula films and the ways in which Dracula's movement across >borders of nationality, sexuality, ethnicity, gender, and film genre >since the 1920s has engendered conflicting conceptualizations about >the formation of the "other," identity, and ideology that oscillate >between conservative and liberal spheres of normalcy. While this >collection is concerned with the complex web of interrelationships >between the historical, cultural, and literary counterparts that >make up the conventional body of cinematic work from mainstream >studios like Universal, Metro, Hammer, Columbia, AIP, equ! > ally important is the significantly larger, yet predominantly >under-appreciated body of cinematic work that has poured out of >other global markets. We are searching for essays that address these >concerns by using single-film or period-based analysis. > >With the focus of this collection targeting Dracula and Dracula-type >characters in films from not only the United States and England but >from other global markets, this collection welcomes submissions that >seek to ground Dracula depictions and experiences within a larger >political, historical and cultural framework, seeking to identify >how different ethnic groups represent themselves and their distinct >movements across borders in the Dracula cinema myth. Chapters may >focus on isolating new, developing tendencies toward transnational >modes of cultural production, or may instead excavate and trace past >tendencies from older depictions. > >We seek perspectives engaged in the fields of literature, media >studies, cultural studies, history, anthropology, philosophy, >psychology, sociology, health, medicine, criminology, and theology. >As payment, each contributor will receive 1 copy of the completed >book. > > > >Please submit your manuscript electronically as an email attachment to: > > > >John Edgar Browning > >Adjunct Lecturer of English > >First-year Writing Program > >Southern Methodist University > >E-Mail: [log in to unmask] > > > >or > > > >Dr. Caroline Joan (Kay) Picart >Associate Professor of English >Courtesy Associate Professor of Law >Florida State University >E-Mail: [log in to unmask] > > >MANUSCRIPTS should be prepared in accordance with the 15th edition >of the Chicago Manual of Style.
