Cinema and Media Letter from the President Dear 2013 SCMS Conference‑goers, WELCOME—on behalf of the SCMS Board of Directors, the Host Committee, and our hard‑working Home Office staff and consultants—to SCMS 2013. YOU are the most essential part of the 53rd annual SCMS conference! We truly hope you enjoy yourselves in Chicago, “that wonderful town,” at the long and proudly unionized Drake Hotel. May you savor time with new and old colleagues, hear great papers, relish connections with participating presses, and spark current and future projects. May you also glean a personal appreciation of how much those of us on the Board, in the many SCMS committees, members of the 7 Caucuses, Graduate Student Organization, and 21 (and counting) Scholarly Interest Groups, Home Office staff, and consultants care about and share your professional needs and desires. We would love to have your insights; we very much welcome your help in furthering the study of cinema and media. Please feel free to contact me or any member of the Board at the conference, or after you return home, in person, through e‑mail or through our website if you have proposals or queries. Volunteers interested in serving on our standing and annual committees, in being conference session chairs next year (in Seattle!), or in otherwise helping are always valued. Please join the hundreds of attendees who come to cheer your junior and senior colleagues who will be recognized for scholarship, teaching, and service at the annual Awards Ceremony, Friday, March 8, 4:15–5:30 PM. Special kudos to Linda Williams, this year’s Distinguished Career Achievement Award recipient. The list of candidates for this award was impressive. That Linda has been selected is a real mark of her impact on the field; she has been a mentor to, model for, and “teacher” of so many of us in good part because, as a foundational player within feminist criticism and theory, genre studies, and film history, she has always encouraged people to think outside the box. Melodrama has consistently served her as anchor and bridge, from weepies to horror to porn to action film, and back again. Sincere congratulations and pro‑ found thanks for your heartfelt commitment, your superb scholarship, and your personal and professional smarts, Linda! SCMS now recognizes 11 award categories—too many to gloss individually here, although each winner and runner‑up merits the applause they will receive at the Awards Ceremony. In the interest of space (at a premium in our expanded con‑ ference program), I will nonetheless single out four top awards here. The Pedagogy Award: bravo to Constance Balides, for her work expanding and enhancing film and media studies at Tulane and her longstanding engagement with SCMS. The Kovács Book Award (and we wish this could be in person) goes posthumously to Miriam Hansen for her passionate re‑valorizations of Siegfried Kracauer, Walter Benjamin, and Theodor Adorno in Cinema and Experience. Miriam has consistently helped us to see more clearly, through what the Committee calls her “nuanced, original, swirling, profound, ferocious readings.” The Anne Friedberg Innovative Scholarship Award—honoring Anne’s conviction that “how the world is framed may be as important as what is contained within that frame”—goes this year to Nicholas Mirzeoff for his book, The Right to Look: A Counterhistory of Visuality. Nicholas measures the impact of oppositional visions in current colonial, de‑colonial, and globalizing projects, arguing that the right to look is at the heart of power, politics, and violent struggle. Last and not least, the Service Award, tendered by the Board in recognition of special service to the field: hurray for Heather Hendershot, outgoing editor of Cinema Journal. We salute Heather for her unflagging work, extraordinary teamwork, and remarkable vision. In her five years at the top of the CJ masthead, Heather has ensured that our journal has maintained its place as the gold standard publication in our field, and she finally brought color to our cover. She improved 2 the journal’s visibility on digital platforms and through “In Focus” topics. She also added genre/area experts to the CJ Board and brought in additional expert reviewers. Thanks, Heather! Other events you won’t want to miss include our annual gala reception which, as usual, follows the Awards Ceremony on Friday evening, from 5:30–7:30 PM. Don’t forget the Members’ Business Meeting, held earlier on Friday, from 11 AM‑12 NOON, where you will learn more about the Society’s current and future activities (lunch will be served). For those of you new to SCMS, and/or those of you interested in meeting people new to SCMS and in interacting on a more informal basis with the Board, there’s the New Members’ Meeting, held Thursday, March 7, from 11 AM–12:45 PM. Please also see Program Chair and President‑Elect Barbara Klinger’s letter on the next page for more events of interest. As outgoing (June 30) President I would like quickly to gloss some key accomplishments of the Society this past year. Last fall we completed review of the strategic planning begun three years ago under Patrice Petro’s leadership and moved into a second phase of planning that will, in the next two or three years, include the hiring of an Executive Director. The first annual SCMS Undergraduate Film Conference will be held in April at Notre Dame University. Several presses for the first time now offer member discounts. We have increased the number of travel awards. We have garnered and made public membership reports on rank, institutional and national affiliations, degree conferral locations, and so on. International and institutional memberships continue to rise. As of January 2013, SCMS had 2800 members from 45 different countries, nearly ¼ from outside the U.S.! By the end of March, total membership will likely surpass 3000. Warm thanks to our outgoing Board members: Bambi Haggins, Heather Hendershot, Lindsay Hogan, and Yeidy Rivero. Their time and talents have made our Society better, no question. As outgoing Past‑President, Patrice Petro deserves special thanks from us all for her many years of extraordinary service to the Board—on a personal level, my deepest thanks, Patrice. Thanks to many others not on the Board for your terrific work and help on this conference and on other things‑SCMS. It’s such a pleasure to work with and get to know our members! Jane Dye, Debbie Rush, Leslie LeMond: all I can say is WOW! It’s fabulous to count you as colleagues and as friends. Bienvenus 2012‑2013 new Board members Sean Griffin, Haidee Wasson, Corey Creekmur (Secretary), and Will Brooker (CJ editor). Bienvenidas also Aviva Dove‑Viebahn and Vicki Sturtevant as non‑voting Board members. And välkommen to the 2013‑2014 Board two newly‑elected Board members, a new Graduate Student Representative, and a new President‑Elect. Profound thanks to all who ran for office: the Board is crucial to the health and well‑being of our Society. I very much look forward to seeing old friends and to making new ones at this conference—of all ranks and ages. Come say hey, anyone who’s so inclined: I’m not formal . feel free to call me Chris. Most of all, I hope that all of you enjoy yourselves and learn as much as I hope to. May your time at this conference and in Chicago bring each and every one of you much stimulation and many happy memories! Warmly, Chris 3 Letter from the Program Chair Dear 2013 SCMS Conference Attendees, On behalf of the SCMS Board of Directors, the 2013 Conference Program Committee, and the Host Committee, I want to extend a warm welcome to everyone attending the Chicago conference for the SCMS’s 53rd annual meeting. We hope you find the conference, its setting in the Drake Hotel with Lake Michigan nearby, and the Windy City intellectually exciting and professionally rewarding. We are delighted that you are here. We received a record number of proposals this year. They reflect the robust and diverse areas of inquiry that continue to characterize the field today, while offering noticeable trends. These include an increased internationalism in topics and prospective presenters and more proposals devoted to the “M” in SCMS, including research on old and new media from numerous methodological perspectives. Other themes and developments await your discovery as you page through the Conference Program. In the midst of this plenitude, Program Committee members—Hector Amaya, Norma Coates, Susan Felleman, Terry Geller, Sean Griffin, Bambi Haggins, Brendan Kredell, Evan Lieberman, Cynthia Lucia, Miriam Petty, Miriam Posner, Joanna Rapf, Angelo Restivo, John David Rhodes, Merrill Schleier, Yeidy Rivero, Vicky Sturtevant, Haidee Wasson, Pamela Wojcik, and Michael Zryd—had both an especially challenging task of evaluating proposals and the opportunity to gain an expanded view of the rich directions of contemporary scholarship in film and media studies. I sincerely thank this committee’s mem‑ bers for the excellent, thoughtful quality of their work, the long hours they spent reading and assessing proposals, and their professionalism and collegiality. It was a pleasure to serve as Chair of the Program Committee with such a talented team of scholars. As many of you know, Hurricane Sandy disrupted this year’s programming process and timeline through its impact on our online proposal system. No one could have foreseen that a storm would disable both our primary server in New York City and our back‑up server in New Jersey. While all of the Program Committee’s work was saved, access to the system was impossible for a number of weeks. We are extremely grateful to the management of BMM Art & Computer, particu‑ larly Ben Ohtsu, co‑founder and director of technology, and David Rissenberg, director of research and development, for working around the clock to get our system back up and running, particularly when they were coping with the storm’s devastating impact on life in the Northeast.

  • Gian Maria Volonte:Programme Notes.Qxd
    A Bullet for the General Italy | 1966 | 135 minutes Credits In Brief Director Damiano Damiani Considered by its director to be a political film rather than a western, this critique Screenplay Salvatore Laurani, Franco Solinas of US imperialism sees Volonte’s Mexican bandit Chuncho gradually become politically aware as a result of his manipulation by a US secret agent — a role Music Luis Bacalov played by Lou Castel, ironically another committed left-wing actor. Photography Antonio Secchi Cast Chuncho Gian Maria Volonté El Santo Klaus Kinski Adelita Martine Beswick Bill 'Niño' Tate Lou Castel While the Italian spaghetti westerns of the mid- 60s and 70s dealt with some minor political issues, mostly American capitalism, there was a separate subgenre of the spaghetti western called Zapata westerns that dared to go deeper. Zapata westerns were usually dealing directly with the Mexican Revolution of 1913 and were much more politically charged than the regular spaghetti westerns, which would often set the Mexican Revolution in the background. These Zapata westerns would usually be critical of US foreign policy, the Vietnam War, fascism, capitalism, and were usually made from a Marxist point of view. Perhaps one of the most popular and recognizable Zapata westerns aside from Sergio Leone’s Duck, You Sucker is the 1966 film A Bullet for the General, which was directed by Damiano Damiani. Relentlessly thrilling, refreshingly comical, and unafraid to embrace plenty of action, A Bullet for the General is not only the first Zapata western, but also one of the most fun spaghetti westerns out there. Beautifully shot, sharply written, and carried by unforgettable performances from Gian Maria Volonté, who found stardom through Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, and Klaus Kinski, the man who played the creepiest Dracula the world has ever seen, A Bullet for the General is an epic and sweeping journey with a powerhouse climax.

  • HARMONY KORINE: Shooters
    G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y July 24, 2014 EXTENDED! UPDATED PRESS RELEASE GAGOSIAN GALLERY 821 PARK AVENUE T. 212.796.1228 NEW YORK NY 10021 E. [email protected] HOURS: Tue–Sat 10:00am–6:00pm SUMMER HOURS (Through August 29): Mon–Fri 10:00am–6:00pm HARMONY KORINE: Shooters Through Tuesday, July 29, 2014 Gagosian New York is pleased to present “Shooters,” an exhibition of recent paintings by Harmony Korine. From Kids (1995), a meditation on New York City youth, to Spring Breakers (2012), a contemporary film noir in which four college freshwomen are drawn into a murderous labyrinth of events, Korine’s films of the past twenty years merge reality with fiction and shaky “footage” with precise editing, holding viewers’ attention to the split second and thereby suspending disbelief. His heady mix of the unplanned, the seductive, and the outlandish crystallizes in his lesser-known paintings. Bypassing brush and art paint in favor of squeegees, leftover household paint, and masking tape, he creates loosely sequential images that echo the sonic and visual leitmotifs of his films. In Starburst paintings, he sticks overlapping segments of masking tape to the center of an unprimed canvas, then uses a broom to spread primary red, yellow, and blue dyes over the surface. The tape is removed to reveal bright, irregular stars shining through colorful mists; the final compositions are characterized by a spontaneous, explosive radiance. Loop Paintings are the result of a process somewhat related to filmmaking: Korine cast young men and women, made them up as elderly people, and photographed them in alleyways.

Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

  • Studying Political Science at the University of Murcia
    STUDYING POLITICAL SCIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MURCIA A PRESENTATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE AND OF THE DEGREE IN POLITICAL SCIENCE October 2005 ¾ WHY SPEND A YEAR OR A SEMESTRE STUDYING POLITICAL SCIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MURCIA? The degree in Political Science at the University of Murcia is a 4-years degree that provides a broad and comprehensive set of choices to incoming Erasmus students that may come from various backgrounds: European studies, International Relation, Politics, Public Administration studies, etc. It is characterised by its interdisciplinarity –especially during the first two years- and by its wide focus on various fields of the study of Political Science, Politics, Government, and Administration. The courses offered include topics on European politics, comparative politics, public policy, political behaviour, research methodology, public opinion, Spanish politics, etc. Most courses offer a balanced mixed between traditional lectures and lab and/or reading- discussion sessions. Students can also obtain further skills by enrolling into the practicum scheme the Department of Political Science monitors, which allows them to spend some hours a week working for an NGO, a trade union, or a private firm to get further professional skills, in exchange of some ECTS credits. Specially popular with incoming Erasmus students are the positions offered at the local branch of UNICEF, and at a local NGO dedicated to promote immigrants’ social integration and rights. Additionally, the International Office at the University of Murcia provides great support to students before their arrival with practical issues: accommodation, language courses, course registration, etc. A further advantage of the University of Murcia is its flexibility in terms of the courses students can enroll once they are accepted as an Erasmus exchange student.
