CALL FOR PAPERS
THE DOUBLE IN MOVIES
Categories of the double are numerous and multiform.
They figure in myths, religion, literature, and
psychology and are used to reveal or sublime
personality traits. Freud defines the double as the
narcissistic expression of a split psyche or persona,
or its projection. Filmmakers, however, explore any
aspects of the double to convey a message, which is
not necessarily psychopathological. Given the freedom
that the camera, film editing, and modern technology
offer, the double in movies only has as its limits the
filmmakers' imagination.
Post Script: Essays in Film and the Humanities is
calling for contributors to a special issue on "The
Double in Movies." Possible topics include, but are
not limited to: the similarity of appearances between
two distinct actors who play one single role or who
represent opposite aspects of a persona, a split or
dual personality played by one actor who resorts to
make-up techniques to change appearances, repetition
of scenes, superposition of images taken from other
movies, reflections in mirrors, flashbacks,
re-creation of characters' past lives or events.
Papers on applicable U.S. or international films will
be considered. Also encouraged are substantive
interviews with filmmakers, a substantive bibliography
of films dealing with doubles, and book reviews up to
1000 words in length. Submissions should be original
articles that have not appeared in books or journals,
no longer than 24 pages, double-spaced, plus
documentation (MLA, with internal citations and Works
Cited, preferred), and written in English. Submit
three hard copies of your manuscript with author
identification on separate sheets. Include a SASE for
return of manuscripts, should that be necessary.
