*Collected Essays Cinema and the State-Tortured Body*

	

	

	

Call for Abstracts

Drawing from Foucault's notion of the 'political technology of the body' 
and 'the spectacle of the scaffold', the collection looks to explore the 
Sovereign's power and control over the body through the cinema's 
arguable co-option of the state's political-military-corporate aims and 
goals.

Possible topics include, but not limited to: politicised cinema; body as 
socially constructed by corporate/military factions; political 
ramifications of torture; body under stress from state-sanctioned 
torture; hegemony, grotesque image of the body, state/corporate/military 
notions of identity and space, political technology of state punishment; 
Grosz's notion of 're-inscribing the body' as a means to challenge the 
Sovereign's control and construction of gender.

Film examples: L'aveu, Interrogation, The Road to Guantanamo, Le Petit 
Soldat, The Battle for Haditha, Hunger, Rendition, Punishment Park, JFK, 
The Manchurian Candidate, Executive Action, Winter Kills, Standing 
Operating Procedure, Taxi to the Dark Side, Z, I Saw Ben Barka Get 
Killed, The Official Story, State of Siege, The Hurt Locker, Salo, Death 
and the Maiden.

Will also consider any topics related to the subject matter.
