Foreign Language Film Conference

Cultural Correspondences and the Camera

Call For Papers : Interested scholars are invited to submit
papers on aspects of film from traditions other than English, for
the first-annual Foreign Language Film Conference of Southern
Illinois University, Carbondale.  The conference will take place
October 11-13 2007, in the scenic region of southern Illinois.

The FLFC will focus on the idea of _correspondances_.  How are
cultural transactions portrayed in cinema?  How does the camera
participate in creating a cultural dialogue? How are national
cinemas transformed by their interactions with transnational
audiences?  Abstracts are invited in the following categories:

	*Correspondences on camera*
	Cultural interactions among national cinemas
	Migrations, borders, vernaculars

	*Correspondences off camera*
	Dubbing, synchronization, production
	Remakes, adaptations, translations
	Genre-crossing

	*Correspondences in the classroom*
	Film as a pedagogical tool
	Film as cultural/historical document for teaching language/literature

Other panel suggestions are also invited; please see website
(http://www.siu.edu/~flfc) for details.  Selected proceedings
will be considered for publication after the conference.

Send abstract of not more than 250 words as an email attachment
in Microsoft Word format.  Abstract should include presenter’s
name, contact address and telephone number, and professional
affiliation and status.  Presentations should be 15-20 minutes
long.  Deadline for submission of abstracts (papers and panels):
28 February 2007.
