SCMS ... again

[rwdavisjr@ca.rr.com]

Hi. So far I've got only two responses re this panel proposal, so I wanted to encourage you to send me a note expressing interest if you want to participate (as a presenter or respondent) in a panel on recent Japanese narrative cinema at the SCMS conference in Tokyo next May. You don't have to be a current SCMS member to submit a proposal, though you will have to join by September 1 if your paper is selected.

The topic again: Distinctive Narrative Strategies in Contemporary Japanese Cinema. 
 
This panel would explore some distinctive approaches to narrative in 
contemporary Japanese film. That distinctiveness may present itself as either 
(explicitly or implicitly) an ?alternative? to the Hollywood cinematic codes, or 
as a development of traditionally Japanese narratological strategies, or in some 
other way. 
 
If interested in presenting a paper or making a response, please send me, by 
email, a 200-300 word proposal by August 7. 
 
Send your proposal to: rdavis at fullerton.edu 
 
Thanks. bd
