Contributions are sought for a book project that provides a Native voice and/or an American Indian Studies approach to teaching key issues surrounding producing, accessing, and using Native American film and media imagery. The primary goal of this project is to: highlight Native responses to representation in popular culture; spotlight a growing Indigenous aesthetic and media community; create a model for critiquing Indigenous representation from an Indigenous perspective that is readily accessible to film courses in American Studies, Cultural Studies, English, Film Studies, and American Indian/Indigenous Studies; and provide access to Native media, particularly animation and films that are difficult and expensive to acquire.
Topics might include the following:
• Native responses to how Hollywood and mainstream cinema impact Indigenous lives and communities
• The impact of popular culture on Native and non-Native communities
• How Native communities use and access Native media
o as a new form for transmitting and expressing cultural worldviews
o as an art form
o as a vehicle for cross-cultural community building
• New forms of Native media
• How production and filmmaking infrastructure and aesthetic choices open up our understanding of film meanings. This topic could take a variety of forms from close reading Hollywood film to studies of Indigenous storytelling style in film
• Pedagogical strategies for teaching Native film and media
o Integrating discourse from different fields (film studies, Indigenous Studies, visual Anthropology, etc.) in talking about Native film.
o Using interviews with Native filmmakers to highlight their voices and stories about how their films are made
