The SCMS Caucus on Class ( http://terri1.home.mindspring.com ) is sponsoring
the following call for papers.  Please send 150-word proposal, plus brief
bibliography and bio statement, by August 20, 2005.

"Materialism and Cinema"
The popularity of Deleuze in cinema studies is coincident with a philosophical
return in the field to phenomenology, especially as inspired by Heidegger.
Papers are sought which instead examine the application of materialist
philosophy to the screen. What might a materialist theory of film look like and
signify in the age of transnational capitalism? How would it differ from the
cognitivist approaches of Bordwell and of Anderson, the analytic approaches of
Allen, Smith, and Wartenberg, and the aestheticist approaches of Carroll and of
Plantinga? How might it negotiate the Althusserian approaches of the 1960s-70s?
