CFP: "Quo Vadis, European Cinema?" SPECTATOR, USC Cinema Journal,
Spring-Summer 2003, Submission deadline: December 25, 2002.

Historical, social, and psychological events have been redrawing the map
of Europe since 1989 in unprecedented ways. The new cartography is one
of costant mobility and shifting borders. It is nevertheless time to
pause to reflect upon and assess the directions the "new" Europe and
European cinema are taking. Cinema is the priviledged site of this
inquiry in its capacity to engage with the construction and
dissemination of identities, as well as its distinctive mode of
production and consumption in a new global order. The subject of Europe
has grown increasingly complex, and as the focus of interest shifts to
emerging cinbemas, European cinema seems to be less visible,
internationally and as a discipline of study. This issue aims to examine
and rearticulate the status and stakes of Europeancinema/s in the
post-Cold War era.
Possible topics to explore may include but are not limited to: the
notion of European cinema/s, contestation of national cinema,
supranationalism, the role of the eU, the issue of coproductions,
postcolonialism in Europe, redefinition of East, Central, and Western
Europe, reception, new audiences, cinema and the new media.

Submissions should not be more than 5,000 words and adhere to Chicago
Manual of Style format. Direct contributions and inquiries to: Luisa
Rivi, Editor; rivi@usc.edu.

Many thanks

Luisa Rivi
