Society for Cinema Studies

I am seeking papers for a 2003 SCS conference panel on relationships
between features/shorts/serials, produced by the majors or independents,
and governmental, civic, historical, or cultural organizations promoting
-- or potentially contesting -- "Americanization" initiatives during the
teens and 1920s. Papers might address texts, stars, genres,
publicity/marketing, production or distribution strategies, reception
and audienceship; exhibition practices in small towns or urban
centers; links between cinema and public art or modes of civic
performance during the first decades of the century, including
historical pageantry, expositions, and fairs.

Email queries welcome: hkenaga@memphis.edu

By 8/15/02, send one-page abstract and brief c.v. to H. Kenaga, Dept. of
Communication, 143 Theatre/Comm Bldg., Univ. of Memphis, Memphis, TN
38152; or to FAX 901 678-4331; or to email address above.
