CALL FOR PAPERS

            THE JOURNAL OF POPULAR FILM AND TELEVISION

                   SEX AND SEXUALITY IN CINEMA

    A  special  issue  of   _The  Journal  of  Popular   Film  and
Television_ is now  being planned on  the topic of  "Sex and Sexu-
ality in Cinema."

    Articles  may  especially  center  upon  the  "materiality" of
cinematic  sexual  representation.    Possible subjects include 1)
hard and soft-core pornography, 2) explicit or symbolic  represen-
tation  of  sexual  activity  in  various  world  cinemas, various
genres, and across different phases of industry history, 3) issues
of  censorship,  4)  changing  perspectives  on  nudity, 5) sexual
themes and preoccupations of producer, director, writer, star,  6)
changing  perceptions  of  "sex  goddess"  and "hunk", 7) costume,
make-up, lighting,  music, and  the erotic,  8) representations of
childhood and adolescent sexuality, 9) representations of male and
female homosexuality, 10) perceptions of sexuality in the  context
of race or ethnicity, 11) advertising cinematic sexuality.

Reflecting  JPFT's  pluralistic  approach,  contributions may draw
upon a variety of strategies: psychoanalytic, semiotic,  archival,
etc.  However, "headier" discussions of sexual difference and gen-
der construction in the Lacanian  mode are not sought; these  have
been widely featured in other journals.  Interdisciplinary biblio-
graphies are also encouraged.  In general, papers should be ten to
twenty-five doubled-spaced pages, carry notes at the end, and fol-
low the MLA Style Sheet.

Inquiries, three copies of  the manuscript, and a  self-addressed,
stamped envelope should be sent to:
