Date Submitted: 2013-04-10
Announcement ID: 202913


This is a call for papers, for a new anthology tentatively titled Enolas
Light: Japanese Cinema and the A-Bomb. The anthologys aim is to shed light
on all genres of Japanese Cinema  commercial, anime, pink, underground  and
its portrayal of how the atomic bombings have been depicted.

I'm particularly interested in receiving papers on how Japanese cinema has
portrayed the effects of the bombing on Hiroshima and Nagaskai in its
films, such as Godzilla and Children of Hiroshima?

Im looking for critical essays that discuss individual films, directors or
topics relating to the atomic bombings, whether dealt with directly or
hidden as a subtext within the film.

Please send a 300-400 word proposal or abstract to the above email address.

If interested, I recommend that you first send a 300-400 word proposal (or
a simple email, in order to check the papers suitability). Submissions and
proposals should be sent to
[email protected].**uk<[email protected]>

All texts should be in Times New Roman, font size 12 and justified. Please
use endnotes, though please refrain from using the endnotes facility on
your computer. For notes, please use superscript and number all notes
numerically.

Closing date for submissions will be 15th June. This deadline will be
rigorously enforced as I am aiming for a 2013 publication.

Matthew Edwards is the editor of the anthology Film out of Bounds, which
was published in the US by Mcfarland and Co in 2007.
