CFP: Peck Anthology Deadline Extended
The editors of this proposed volume invite essay proposals from scholars and independent researchers in various disciplines to reflect on different aspects of Haitian filmmaker Raoul Peck’s film career.
The critically acclaimed filmmaker, Raoul Peck, has a long and impressive filmography that includes both feature films such as Haitian Corner (1987-88), L’homme sur les quais (The Man by the Shore) (1993) and Moloch Tropical (2009) and documentaries, like Lumumba, la mort du prophète (Lumumba, Death of a Prophet) (1992) and Le profit et rien d’autre (Profit and Nothing But! Or Impolite Thoughts on the Class Struggle) (2001). The editors of this proposed volume seek articles for possible consideration in an anthology that will explore Peck’s contributions to several fields.
We invite essay proposals from scholars and independent researchers in various disciplines to reflect on different aspects of Peck’s film career. We are interested in a wide range of topics, analytical frames, and comparative approaches. Questions may include but are definitely not limited to:
Intersections of feature film and the documentary medium
The role of orality/oral tradition
Treatments of history
Treatments of myth
Violence, power, trauma
Narrative voices
The art of the mise-en-scène
Peck’s place in the world/third cinema tradition
Methodologies
Use of language(s)
Please submit a 400 word abstract and a one-page CV to the editors by April 15, 2013. Previously published material will be considered.
