SEEC special issue on Dušan Makavejev

June 15, 2012/in News

Studies in Eastern European Cinema

Editors: Ewa Mazierska (University of Central Lancashire) and Michael Goddard (Salford University)

Call for papers

Special Issue: Dušan Makavejev

Guest Editor: Greg de Cuir, Jr. (Faculty of Dramatic Arts Belgrade)

Could it be that only recently we finally saw the first book-length study of the films of Dušan Makavejev? Surely Makavejev can be considered one of the legendary film directors from Eastern Europe, revered all the more because his particular impact came in that most legendary era of international cinema – the 1960s. Though there have been a number of journal articles and book chapters devoted to his work over the years, this critical writing has been scattered few and far between. There now exists a new generation of scholars who have re-discovered Makavejev’s films, finding in his transgressive work the possibilities of a socially-critical cinema that is built on humor, as well as a radical postmodern mode of expression that was very much ahead of its time. However, there is still a notable absence of dedicated volumes on Makavejev that can anthologize a diverse set of viewpoints and situate his relevance for the 21st century. This special issue of Studies in Eastern European Cinema aims to redress such a lack.

We will explore the work of Dušan Makavejev from a variety of standpoints and are currently accepting abstracts of 300 words along with biographies of 150 words. We are particularly interested in venturing into lesser-known areas within Makavejev’s oeuvre, including his short experimental and documentary films of the 1950s and 1960s, his late period features of the 1980s and 1990s, his pedagogical and curatorial activities, and more. We are also interested in approaching Makavejev and his body of work from interdisciplinary perspectives, including cultural policy, philosophy, psychology, and other areas of inquiry. We hope that the eclecticism of Makavejev’s films will inspire a similar variety of fresh scholarship that charts new paths in the study of Eastern European cinema and Makavejev’s position within it.

Please forward abstracts and biographies to gdecuir@yahoo.com by 29 June 2012.
