CALL FOR PAPERS

Abstracts are invited for a film studies symposium on aspects of

certain identities, to domestic and international audiences?

Areas of investigation might include:
- Representations of masculinity/femininity
- Body and gender
- Liminal identities
- Race and ethnicity; regional, national, trans-national identities
- Philosophy in, and of film – philosophical reflections on the medium &
aspects of the medium
