***CALL FOR PAPERS***
CINEJ Vol.1 No.2, May 2012
CINEJ Cinema Journal is a peer-reviewed semiannually published international Cinema Journal.
It is published by the University Library System, University of Pittsburgh and is cosponsored by the University of Pittsburgh Press.
Cinema is the art of reminiscences and of storing, losing, finding, extracting, and re-visioning memory.
The history of cinema is full of films, directors, and movements firmly cemented in our collective unconscious, reminding us of memories that are lost, hidden, about to disappear, struggling to
keep alive, and ready to come back again.
Films reflect our lives through our version of the truth through what we repress or prefer to remember.
Cinema helps to expand the boundaries of our memories. Remembering and forgetting and including as well as excluding our lived experiences are ways of coping with life-long effects of our early
years and adolescence and our grief over lost loves. Our senses of ourselves as we remember our lives often conflict with what may have been suppressed.
The cinematic journey in the history of humankind is about understanding the history of society and individual and of repressing and remembering memories. The temptations to hide and forget and
to bring back and expose are the major themes of this issue.
Some of the topics can be found below:
- Cinema and Social Memory
- Return of the Repressed: Films forgotten by film history
- Film Criticism and the Audience Memory
- Confrontations With the Past: The New Political Film
- Writing History With TV Series
- Hollywood/Green Pine Resurrected: The Remakes
- Personal History: Rites of Passage
- Cinema / City / Memory
- Witnesses of History: Documentaries
- Father / Memory / Rebellion
- My Beautiful Psychobiography: Filming Personal History
- Cinema and Social Archetypes
- Archive / Restoration / Nostalgia
Deadline for papers is April 1, 2012.

Abstract:
At a time when the economic development and the (negative) consequences of globalization are causing the gap between rich and poor rather to widen than to shrink poverty and social inequality have gained public attention again. While movements like ATTAC and OCCUPY highlight the relevance of social inequality and poverty due to their material aspect as existential issues of a developed civil society, it is for other groups to deal with the cultural aspect of the issue and to discuss the perception of poverty by modern society as a case of cultural encounter. IMAGES (2) – Images of the Poor focuses on exactly this perceptive relativity of poverty: Which are the Images of the Poor – historically and currently? What does aesthetisizing the poor in the Arts, in film, photography and literature tell about the quality of the cultural encounter between the well-to-do and the dis-privileged? In which way does your own standard of living and status influence your idea of where to draw the (material) line between rich and poor and your perception of what makes a person rich or poor in a non-material sense?

Target partner sought and current state of project development:
Discussing questions like the above one makes IMAGES (2) – Images of the Poor a genuine interdisciplinary project inviting scholars from all fields of the humanities and related fields (social and political science, economics etc) and preferably coming from universities in the NL, Belgium, the UK and the Scandinavian countries to join in with our planned activities, starting off from the results of a photo contest on cultural encounters and images of the poor which the IMAGES project developers and directors Veronika Bernard and Serhan Oksay launched in 2011 (Images of the Poor being Serhan Oksay’s contribution to the project idea) and leading towards an interdisciplinary and international conference and a publication focussing on Images of the Poor.
Our IMAGES project exhibitions "Cultural Encounters" and "Images of the Poor" will be showing at the University of Applied Sciences in Kufstein starting 12 March 2012 for two weeks.
