Submissions are now invited for a special issue of the Journal of Chinese Cinemas on the cinemas from the Sinophone network. While diasporic Chinese cinemas have created new filmic sites and visual practices that engage the complex relations between the constructs of ‘China’, ‘Chinese’ and ‘Chineseness’, Sinophone cinemas (Shu Mei-shih 2007) describe the new visualities that emanate from the communities of Sinitic language cultures spoken and used ‘outside China and on the margins of China and Chineseness’, reflecting multi-accented, multilingual histories of transnational migration. The editors of the special issue (Audrey Yue, University of Melbourne, and Olivia Khoo, Monash University) now invite abstract submissions of 250-300 words on any of the following aspects:
• the political economy of Sinophone film production, distribution, consumption and regulation;
• cinematic practices of Sinophone resistance, complicity and transformation;
• Sinophone communities as sites of cultural production;
• new Sinophone visual economies and cultures
• examples of multilingual, multidialect or multi-accented Sinophone cinema in their historical, social or cultural contexts;
• comparative Sinophone film studies;
• papers ‘in defense’ of diasporic Chinese cinema frameworks and critiquing the Sinophone model.
Each abstract should:
• include your name, email and postal address, and institution;
• offer a summary of how your proposed essay engages the critical framework of Sinophone cinema.
Important dates:
• Deadline for abstract submissions: 1 December 2010
• Acceptance notice: 15 January 2011
• Deadline for paper (6000-8000 words) submission: 1 June 2011
Abstract submissions (as word documents by email attachment) to:
• Audrey Yue (University of Melbourne, Australia): aisy@unimelb.edu.au
