CFP: Workshop on Theories of Affect and Affectivity in Film Studies
Conference for the Society for Cinema and Media Studies
Atlanta, GA, March 4-7, 2003

Critical interest in cinema's capacity to evoke emotion, thought, and
feeling has fueled a growing discourse of affect and affectivity in film
studies. As conceptual frameworks for thinking about feeling continue to
emerge, new approaches become available to us across a range of research
areas: perception, reception, cognition, truama, spectacle, neuronal
aesthetics, sound, pedagogy. This workshop invites participants to share
theoretical frameworks-under-construction and the questions participants
hope to address through them. This workshop will also consider how notions
of affect/affectivity are informed by the historiography of film
perception.

Please send inquiries, 250-word proposals, and contact information to
Rebecca Gordon, regordon@indiana.edu by August 31.
