Call for Papers
A.R.T. thematic issue:
“Conflicted and divided – representations of crises in theatre, film and media”
In the 21st century, conflict and division have manifested themselves in a variety of areas of public and artistic life. The legacy of war on terror, the credit crunch, the refugee crisis and new developments within democratic states provoked reaction across art and media. New forms of participation, protest and solidarity have also tested various institutional structures which need to respond to and channel public and private emotions. Therefore, artistic activity, often multimedial and hybrid, attempts to provoke conflict in the belief of creating energy of critical reflection which can then be absorbed to spark debate. Theatre, film and media aim not only at showing crises or divisions but also rehearse possibilities of community-building projects based on the idea of value sharing practices and social models.
Encouraging a critical perspective on the relationship between the academia and recent critical events we invite papers reflecting on how literature and culture, specifically theatre, film and media, relate to conflicts and divisions that emerge in direct consequence of social and political crises.
We wish the volume to provide testimony to the relevance of humanities in negotiating the crises that define our reality, and we hope to prove through our edited collection of articles that humanities, and humanity, is not only a critical value, but also a powerful agency, in the face of conflict.
Please send your abstract (250 words) and a short bio (50 words) by the 31st of July, 2021 (Saturday) to the following email address: rasmusag@yahoo.co.uk
