RAPE IN ART CINEMA: CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

(Essay Collection)

Deadline for proposals: March 15th, 2007



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). Despite new theoretical explorations and increasingly graphic
depictions of rape onscreen, however, rape has remained under explored
critically in Film Studies. The few book-length studies that exist focus
on rape revenge films and Hollywood. This collection seeks to redress
that balance by looking at the representation of rape in international
art cinema. How does rape function narratively and stylistically within
this "high culture" context? What does its prevalence reveal about
cultural practices? How do these representations intersect with pop
culture representations? How does the theme of rape play out in the work
of different national cinemas' privileged auteurs?

Papers can focus on rape and sexual violence within the mode of art
cinema; across national cinemas; in a director=92s oeuvre; in a specific
film or group of films. Innovative, theoretically sophisticated
explorations from a range of perspectives and disciplines are sought.
