[csaa-forum] CFP Migrant/diasporic cinema - Extended Deadline

[Daniela Berghahn]

Dear colleagues,

please note that the deadline for proposals has been extended to 27  
January 2006.


CFP: Migrant and Diasporic Cinema in Contemporary Europe
An International Conference hosted by Film Studies and the Institute  
for Historical and Cultural Research, Oxford Brookes University and  
held at  Lincoln College, Oxford, 6 – 8 July 2006

With European cinemas becoming increasingly determined by multi- 
cultural and multi-ethnic presences and themes, critical paradigms  
which examine these cinemas in terms of their national specificity do  
not adequately address the shift from the national to the  
transnational which has occurred in all areas of European cinema  
during the past twenty-five years. This conference seeks to explore  
how migrant and diasporic filmmakers have redefined our understanding  
of European cinema. By adopting a comparative perspective in our  
search for the commonalities and specificities between migrant and  
diasporic cinemas across different European countries, we endeavour  
to transcend the borders and limitations of an analytical framework  
that privileges the concept of discrete national cinemas.


Confirmed keynote speakers include:
Professor Hamid Naficy, Rice University, Texas
Professor Dina Iordanova, University of St. Andrews
Professor Robert Burns, University of Warwick
Pawel Pawlikowski, independent filmmaker (Last Resort, My Summer of  
Love)

The conference is supported by the Arts and Humanities Research  
Council. It is the first of a series of events organised by a  
Research Network which contributes to the AHRC Diasporas, Migration  
and Identities Programme.
