> Call for Papers: Women & The Documentary Tradition
>
> The Encyclopedia of the Documentary Film asserts that documentary  
> films
> come from "every region of the world," crossing cultural,
> sociopolitical, and gender boundaries. "Varying in style, technique,
> editing, story-telling, narration, and intent, it is a medium that
> records the cross-section of human experience, from monumental  
> conflict
> to simple lives lived day to day. It documents the events, pressures,
> and institutions of modern society, records traditional cultural
> practices, cultural changes, and captures the natural and animal world
> in all their complexity" (2005).  The Women's Studies Area of the  
> Film &
> History League's Conference invites proposals for individual papers,
> panels, and/or roundtable discussions which highlight the documentary
> tradition as it has explored and exposed women's issues, women as
> subject, or women as filmmakers.  Topics may include, but are not
> limited to the following areas within the realm of women's studies:
>
> *	Women and ethnography, sociology, ethnicity
> *	Gender in nonfiction film
> *	Educational and industrial films
> *	Government sponsorship and political or social ideology
> *	Religion and spirituality
> *	National documentary film theories and schools
> *	Historical eras and coverage of historical events affecting
