CFP: From “Other” to Us: Reclaiming the Eco-Cinematic Space (ASLE 2013 ecomedia panel)

Deadline for submission: October 15, 2012.

As ecocinema studies establishes itself as a vibrant interdisciplinary extension of literary ecocriticism, it makes room for more incisive discussions of films produced by and with communities who have been historically marginalized and “Othered” by mainstream Hollywood and/or other national cinemas. This call invites proposals for papers that direct our attention to such films and their contexts. We are keen to see papers that speak to the conference themes of migrations, energies, and limits and that engage and extend current ecocinema studies scholarship.

Submission guidelines: Please send a 300 word abstract with your name and affiliation to Alexa Weik von Mossner at Alexa.WeikvonMossner@aau.at and Salma Monani at smonani@gettysburg.edu by October 15, 2012.
