“Progress, Device or Novelty Act? Transgendered Images on Film and Television”
a roundtable at:
39th Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
April 10-13, 2008
Buffalo, New York
Since The World According to Garp (1982) and Switch (1991), transgendered characters (literal, figurative and fantastic) have been a regular feature of American film and television, currently as recurring characters on "All My Children" and "Ugly Betty." This roundtable will interrogate the value of these characters, in terms of gender fluidity and acceptance of transgendered people; do they represent progress or are they the minstrel figures of the new millennium? Send brief abstracts in the body of email to Elizabeth Abele, SUNY Nassau Community College: abelee@ncc.edu
Deadline: 9/30/07
Please include:
Name and Affiliation
Email address
Postal address
Telephone number
A/V requirements (if any; $10 media handling fee)
