Dear Colleague,
I am writing to let you know about a new and exciting book project for
Oxford University Press: The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies.
As a colleague who has done important and compelling work in the
field, I believe your writing could be a valuable addition to the
Handbook
The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies is intended to be the first
edited volume to offer a comprehensive investigation of the histories,
practices, and critical and theoretical foundations of the global
landscape of screendance. It will be essential reading for all those
interested in hybrid forms of dance and the moving image, including
film and video-makers, dance artists, screendance artists, academics
and writers, producers, composers, and the wider interested public.
Furthermore, I hope that The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies
will become an invaluable pedagogical resource for researchers and
professionals in the field, as well as a central classroom text for
screendance courses.
I invite you to submit an abstract of 300-500 words for a new and/or
previously unpublished essay (8,000-10,000 words, including
footnotes). In some cases, previously published essays or articles may
be considered for inclusion; please indicate in your abstract the
publication name and date.
Essays may address any of the following topics. You may also suggest
your own topic, providing that it contributes to the goals enumerated
in the description of the Handbook above.
Histories
· The Historical Roots of Screendance
· Futurism, Cinema and Modernism: Fin de Siècle Culture and the
Dancing Body
· Mid-Century Modernism: Screendance and the Modern Object
· The Legacies of Maya Deren, Dance, and Screen Space
· Dancing for the Digital Age: Cunningham, Ghostcatching, and
Dancing
Ephemera
Theories
· Queering the Screen: Framing a Critical Discourse
· Curating the Screen: Festivals, Streaming Media, and Public
Access
· Ontologies and Phenomenologies of Screen Space
· Screendance and the New Futurism: Social Media and Screenic
Bodies
· Race, Gender, Privilege, and Screendance
Practices
· Choreography and Screens: Translation and Migration
· Editing the Dancing Body
· Hybrid Spaces: Popular Dancing, YouTubing, and Appropriation in
Screendance
· Discerning Choreographic Sensibility on Screen
· Writing Screendance: Extending the Discourse
Please email me at rosend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx if you are planning to
submit an abstract, so that I may better anticipate potential
contributions. Deadline for abstracts is November 15, 2012. I will
reply with a decision by December 1, 2012.
The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies will be a refereed
publication. One of the aims of the Handbook is to raise the bar in
terms of the level of critical debate and writing in the field; to
that end it is crucial that the essays be accurate, lucid, and also
theoretically and historically sound. If your abstract is selected, I
will request your completed essay by February 1, 2013.
Thank you for considering this invitation. Please don’t hesitate to
raise any questions or concerns. I look forward to hearing from you
soon!
Sincerely,
Douglas Rosenberg, Editor
Professor of Art, University of Wisconsin-Madison
