UPDATE
CALL FOR PAPERS
RENE GIRARD AND FILM
2005 National Meeting of the Popular Culture/American Culture Associations,
San Diego, CA
March 23-26, 2005
PCACA has set a later date for chairs to report information on panelists meaning that we can extend the deadline for proposals for the Rene Girard and Film panel. A number of strong proposals have already been submitted but we do have room for others.
20-25 minute papers discussing a film, a set of films, a director, or the film industry as a whole in the context of Mimetic Theory as outlined by Rene Girard or those using 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_at_etbu.edu or by mail to Allen Redmon, English Department, East Texas Baptist University, 1209 N. Grove Street, Marshall, TX, 75670 by 29 October, 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.
