The FFRN is looking to submit pre-constituted panel proposals on film festivals for the upcoming annual conferences of NECS<\/a> (Prague, 20-22 June 2013) and Screen<\/a> (Glasgow, 28-30 June 2013). Screen is known to adhere to a stricter selection policy than NECS, as it is a significantly smaller event in size, and we will respond to this by paying extra close attention to the coherence between paper proposals as well as the track record (in festival research) of potential participants.<\/p>\n

Please note the two different deadlines!<\/p>\n

#2 CfP pre-constituted panel(s) on film festivals at Screen 2013 Conference<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screen Conference 2013\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201cCosmopolitan Screens\u201d
\nUniversity of Glasgow, 28-30 June, 2013<\/p>\n

In preparation for the 23rd annual Screen conference<\/a> taking place in Glasgow, 28-30 June 2013, we would like to invite scholars working on film festivals (especially members of the Film Festival Research Network) to submit paper proposals for one or more pre-constituted panels.<\/p>\n

The panel(s) will be open to papers on all aspects of research relating to Film Festivals, but we especially invite papers on the conference theme of \u2018Cosmopolitan Screens\u2019 as this topic seems to particularly lend itself to film festival studies.<\/p>\n

The general call reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cDebates about the national, the transnational, the global and the multi-cultural have permeated screen studies for decades.\u00a0 The main theme of this year\u2019s Screen conference will consider how such debates might be reframed through a serious engagement with theories of cosmopolitanism.\u00a0 How might discussions about cosmopolitanism, currently animating subjects across the humanities and social sciences, speak to scholarship in film and television studies and vice versa?<\/p>\n

Literally suggesting a combination of worldliness (cosmos) and place (city, city-state, citizenship \u2013 polis), the concept of cosmopolitanism has inspired new political visions post 9\/11 and its aftermath.\u00a0 Recently taken up as a lens through which to discuss the ethics of encountering strangers, the politics of offering hospitality to foreigners and the problem of challenging aversion to otherness, cosmopolitanism has also come under attack for its perceived complicity with global hegemonies.<\/p>\n

If screen studies have been slow to take up the cosmopolitan question directly, it is perhaps because audiovisual media have been so deeply embedded within transnational and globalising cultures from their earliest beginnings. But is there something particular to film, television and new media cultures that might speak directly to the problems at the heart of the current cosmopolitan project?\u00a0 How might we understand the changing significance of film and television through a cosmopolitan lens?\u00a0 The editors of Screen welcome proposals for papers\/panels on any of these questions and on the following topics of the main conference theme (proposals for other subjects beyond this focus will as usual be considered):<\/p>\n
