[Filmfestivalresearch] CfP: WORKSHOP ON THEORY & FILM FESTIVALS, Re: CfP Film Festival Research at SCMS 2011

[ger zielinski, ph.d.]

Dear Fellow Festival Researchers,

Building on the brilliant success of our methodology workshop at SCMS 
Los Angeles, I would like to propose a workshop (at SCMS New Orleans) on 
the theme of the use of theory in work on film festivals. As this lively 
area of research continues to develop, it is important to take a pause 
to reflect on what sort of theoretical issues have predominated in the 
discourse and what alternatives or future possibilities might be 
anticipated. In the course of the last several panels and publications 
in the area, we have witnessed the use of theoretical frameworks 
borrowing form diverse theories of actor-network, art world and cultural 
capital, as well as postcolonial critique, queer theory, among others, 
sometimes intersecting one another. Some questions that we may consider 
include: How have we put theory into our work on film festivals? What 
reticences and blind spots can we uncover? Where might film festival 
research lead theory?

If you have any questions on this workshop do contact me ( 
geraldzielinski at trentu.ca ). Please follow the instructions sent out by 
our good colleague Skadi Loist below, but for this particular workshop 
also copy (cc) me with your submission! Of course, you may submit and 
present both on a panel and in a workshop. Looking forward to receiving 
your submissions and putting together an exciting workshop.

Best,
Ger Zielinski
