CALL FOR PAPERS
RENE GIRARD AND FILM
2005 National Meeting of the Popular Culture/American Culture Associations,
San Diego, CA
March 23-26, 2005
20-25 minute papers discussing a film, a set of films, or the film
industry as a whole in the context of Mimetic Theory as outlined by Rene
Girard or others utilizing the Girardian insight are being sought to fill
a panel at the next PCACA national meeting. Presentations that
demonstrate the way in which Girard’s observations on desire, rivalry,
doubles, violence, the scapegoat mechanism or a combination of these
concepts have been represented on film are of particular interest, but
papers using any of Girard’s insights will be considered. The most
promising papers will move beyond introducing Girard’s ideas and will use
Girard’s concepts in appealing ways.
For consideration, please submit electronically as a word attachment a 250
word abstract to aredmon@etbu.edu or by mail to Allen Redmon, English
Department, East Texas Baptist University, 1209 N. Grove Street, Marshall,
TX, 75670 by 27 August 2005. Feel free to offer a brief bio in the text
of the email message or on a cover page of a mailing if so inclined.
Panelists will need to be members of either the Popular Culture or the
American Culture Association at the time of presentation.
