Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media, Inaugural
Conference 2012
University College Cork, Ireland
7 - 8 September 2012
Deadline for abstracts: 6 April 2012
Rather than forming a continuum, film and film history are
composed of a series of transitions, gaps and junctures: points where a ceding
or progression to a different way of thinking or being occurs. This holds true
from the era of early cinema up to the advent of digital technologies. Whether
extratextualor, increasingly, intertextual and intermedial, these interstices
represent areas of exchange where ideas and expression can be freed from formal
concerns to yield exciting and unexpected outcomes.
The conference organisers/journal editors are interested in
exploring these interstitial spaces to provoke dialogues on transition and
difference. As an online journal, dedicated to innovative thinking in the area
of film and screen media, they feel that this topic will provide an excellent
forum for exploring fertile areas of research. They welcome proposals for
papers that consider the idea of the interstice as a means of addressing
junctures in a broad range of film-related areas.
A selection of the conference papers will be included in a
peer-reviewed Alphaville issue on the same topic to be published in 2013.
