Black and White - Representing the 'Other' in Silent 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, nationality, 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 'Silent Cinema
Conference' in the subject line - before May 16th 2004 to:
