Critical Essays on James Wan H-Announce Critical Essays on James Wan Announcement published by Matthew Edwards on Tuesday, February 12, 2019 Type: Call for Papers Date: May 31, 2019 Location: United Kingdom Subject Fields: Film and Film History, Popular Culture Studies Critical Essays on James Wan Deadline for abstract submissions: May, 2019 Full name / name of organization: Matthew Edwards/ Independent Scholar Contact email: [email protected] Fernando Gabriel Pagnoni Berns/Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina). http://artes.filo.uba.ar/la-literatura-de-las-artes-combinadas-ii contact mail: [email protected] Critical Essays on James Wan Edited by Matthew Edwards and Fernando Gabriel Pagnoni Berns Critical essays are sought on the cinema of Malaysian/Australian director, screenwriter and producer James Wan. As 2018 marks Wan’s first incursion into superhero cinema with Aquaman, a film that reportedly is DC Films’ biggest worldwide grosser, critical attention on the director keeps intensifying. With huge critical and box office successes such as Saw (2004), a film that kickstarted a whole franchise, The Conjuring I and II (2013 and 2016), films that started a whole filmic universe, together with Death Sentence (2007), Insidious I and II (2010 and 2013), Furious 7 (2015) and Dead Silence (2007), it can be argued that we are facing a new Hollywood auteur with an identity of his own. Still, there is a striking lack of critical studies on the works of James Wan, even Citation: Matthew Edwards. Critical Essays on James Wan.

Creating for the new millennium a form of film horror that relies more on atmosphere than in jump scares ― a kind of dread almost extinct at the big screen since the times of director Jacques Tourneur and producer Val Lewton― Wan has imposed a uniquely rich style and vision which does not reject the commercial and the genre formula but in fact embraces it. His efforts as producer follow this marked interest in genre, franchise and remake, both in filmLights ( Out ―2016―; Annabelle: Creation ―2017―, The Curse of La Llorona ―2019―) as in TV (MacGyver; Swamp Thing). From Stygian (2000) to Aquaman, Wan has directed nine feature films and one episode for television, all in different genres, all of them provoking stylistic reflections on the medium, on genre and franchise cinema. This anthology seeks previously unpublished essays that explore James Wan’s body of work. We welcome interdisciplinary approaches —including philosophy, psychoanalysis, posthumanism, queer, contextual, etc. — that can illuminate the different aspects of the director’s work. Our purpose is this volume to address the entirety of his work. Contributions could include – but are not limited to – the following topics: Old Hollywood and classicism/influence of Val Lewton’s cinema​ Film genres (horror, action, etc.)​ The James Wan’s universe. Hollywood masculinity His influence in no-Wan directed projects. Photography​ and cinematography Work on television Adaptation of real supernatural cases Uncanny dolls Superhero cinema Depiction of the family unit The haunting and the gothic The unconscious, dreams and nightmares​ Music and sound Citation: Matthew Edwards.

  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • A Dark New World : Anatomy of Australian Horror Films
    A dark new world: Anatomy of Australian horror films Mark David Ryan Faculty of Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the degree Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), December 2008 The Films (from top left to right): Undead (2003); Cut (2000); Wolf Creek (2005); Rogue (2007); Storm Warning (2006); Black Water (2007); Demons Among Us (2006); Gabriel (2007); Feed (2005). ii KEY WORDS Australian horror films; horror films; horror genre; movie genres; globalisation of film production; internationalisation; Australian film industry; independent film; fan culture iii ABSTRACT After experimental beginnings in the 1970s, a commercial push in the 1980s, and an underground existence in the 1990s, from 2000 to 2007 contemporary Australian horror production has experienced a period of strong growth and relative commercial success unequalled throughout the past three decades of Australian film history. This study explores the rise of contemporary Australian horror production: emerging production and distribution models; the films produced; and the industrial, market and technological forces driving production. Australian horror production is a vibrant production sector comprising mainstream and underground spheres of production. Mainstream horror production is an independent, internationally oriented production sector on the margins of the Australian film industry producing titles such as Wolf Creek (2005) and Rogue (2007), while underground production is a fan-based, indie filmmaking subculture, producing credit-card films such as I know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer (2006) and The Killbillies (2002). Overlap between these spheres of production, results in ‘high-end indie’ films such as Undead (2003) and Gabriel (2007) emerging from the underground but crossing over into the mainstream.

  • Song & Music in the Movement
    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.
