Area CFP: The Family in/and the War Film

While many war films address the experiences of those individuals actively
involved in armed conflict, there is a corresponding number of films dealing
with the lives of the parents, siblings, and spouses who remain at home
during wartime. This area of the 2004 Film & History Conference seeks to
explore these representations and perceptions of the family in war films.
Presentations may include but are not limited to filmic images of:

*biological as well as non-traditional families in war films
*the political importance of the family in war time
*the changing roles of family members in war films (providers, nurturers,
leaders, etc.)
*conflict within the family in war time
*images of children in war films

etc.

The Film & History League, with the Literature/Film Association, will be
holding its conference on "War in Film, Television, and History" during
November 11-14, 2004, near Dallas, TX. Full details on the location,
registration procedures, and additional area topics can be found on the web
site www.filmandhistory.org. Deadline for proposals is July 30, 2004.
