Interdisciplinary Humanities: Call for Papers "Dialogues
of Film and Literature"
Interdisciplinary
Humanities is accepting completed articles for a special issue: "Dialogues
of Film and Literature." Literary works - especially novels, short
stories, and drama - have long served as source material for adaptation
into movies, but there has always been a tension between the two media
and the artists working in each. We seek articles that examine how those
tensions (formal, aesthetic, commercial, etc.) have been explored, exploited,
resolved, or otherwise employed by writers and filmmakers.Possible topics
include:
- Writers making
movies
- Filmmakers writing literature
- Literature into film: beyond adaptation
- Film into literature: beyond novelization
- Film, literature, and narrative form
- Film and literature: beyond narrative
- Teaching film as "literature" (K-12, undergraduate, graduate
levels)
- Teaching film and literature as "art" (K-12, undergraduate,
graduate levels)
- We also welcome short creative works of fiction, poetry, or non- fiction
prose that deal with the experience of reacting to individual films, filmmakers
and actors or with the experience of watching films.
Papers should be no
longer than 6,000 words and should be submitted using any standard format
(MLA, Chicago, etc.). Submit papers and creative works no later than December
1, 2001 to
