"Class Theory/Theoretical Class"

Society for Cinema and Media Studies
March 31-April 3, 2005
London, England

Position papers are sought for a workshop that focuses on the recent,
simultaneous turn in cinema studies toward renewed class-conscious analysis
but away from those Marxist theoretical paradigms which historically have
supplied powerful models for critiquing cultures and structures of class in
capitalist society. Papers might consider the prevalence of this
contradiction in recent critical (re)turns in the field to genre studies,
authorship studies, neoformalism, aesthetic phenomenology, analytic
philosophy, and cognitive-behaviorist pedagogy. Has the turn toward media
studies affected or determined this contradiction in any way?
