Black and White - Representing the Other in Early Cinema
This conference grows out of the growing interest in questions of representation
in Early (Silent) cinema. We wish to explore the filmic construction of
'Otherness' in the films of the period (1895-1927), that is the manner in which
challenges to the dominant social order or subjectivity are represented. Papers
may deal with thematic, social or technical approaches to the topic and might
include, for instance, discussion of immigrant audiences and early film, the use
of music, stereotypes and the evolution of specific genres, questions of
modernity, explorations of gender, setting, race and ethnicity. We particularly
welcome proposals which deal with representations of Ireland and the Irish.
The conference will take place on October 7th and 8th 2004 in the Huston School of
Film at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
(*This immediately precedes the opening weekend of the Pordenone Silent Film
Festival 2004)
Please forward (250-300 word) proposals - stating 'Early Cinema Conference' in the
subject line - before May 16th 2004 to:
