*Auteurs in the 21st Century*

Fourth Annual Yale Film Studies Graduate Conference

*April 6-7, 2012*

Yale University, New Haven, CT

Is the concept of auteurism still valid for exploring filmmaking in the 21

st century? After its introduction by *Cahiers du Cinéma* in the 1950s,

auteur theory became both the predominant conceptual framework for

scholarly analysis of  innovative filmmakers? work and  the heuristic for

film appreciation in the popular imagination. Although auteurism has come

under sustained attack in recent decades, its allure has persisted ?

overwhelmingly, we still view films as being the work of a

*singular*creative consciousness.

Since 2000, the realities of filmmaking have changed in radical ways,

whether through the proliferation of digital technology, the multiplicity

of distribution channels, the solidifying of a global festival circuit, the

blurring of distinctions between the cinema and the gallery, or the ongoing

transformation of our notions of intellectual property. With the passing of

some of the titans of auteurism, an entire system of filmmaking came to an

end. Others have risen to take their place, but they are subject to a

vastly different structural configuration.

With a focus on recent cinema, this conference will seek to assess the

continued viability of the auteurist model of filmmaking, and test it

against other theoretical paradigms.

We welcome papers on topics including, but not limited to:

-        Contemporary auteurs who have had their debut in the last decade

(e.g. Weerasethakul, Serra, Mungiu, Alonso, etc.)

-          The continued work of established figures (e.g. Godard,

Oliveira, Straub, etc.).

-          The validity of auteur theory, past and present, and the

conceptual frameworks which could potentially supersede it.

-          The current relationship between auteurs, national cinemas and

the global festival circuit.

-          The figure of the auteur in the context of media hybridisation.

-          The expanded notion of auteur (programmers, curators, video

artists, etc.)

-          Auteurism in television studies

-          Definitions of authorship in response to the shifting conditions

of intellectual property.

The keynote address will be given by *Richard Peña*.* *Professor Peña

teaches film theory and international cinema at Columbia University. He has

served as the Program Director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center and

the Director of the New York Film Festival for nearly a quarter-century,

from 1988 to 2012 (when he will step down).

The deadline for submissions is *January 31, 2012.* Please e-mail abstracts

and inquiries to *mihaela.mihailova@yale.edu *and *rea.amit@yale.edu*.

Abstracts should be limited to *300 words*.

Auteurs in the 21st Century

Yale University, April 6-7, 2012

http://www.yale.edu/filmstudiesprogram/

Indiana University’s Department of Geography and Landscape Studies Program is hosting its sixth annual Landscape, Space and Place Graduate Student Conference. Graduate students from all disciplines and stages of research are invited to participate by presenting their
landscape-related work. In addition to paper sessions, there will be a landscape architecture poster/model session. We welcome all levels of graduate study and strive to create a dynamic, interactive atmosphere in which to foster discussion and academic growth.
Landscape studies is multidisciplinary, and landscape’s far-reaching academic connections give the field its strength. The goal of the LSP Conference is to bring together graduate students from various disciplinary backgrounds in order to find common ground. We also hope to foster a more cohesive and dynamic framework upon which to build the future of the field.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

Landscape ecology
Landscape architecture
Cultural landscape
Symbolic landscape
Sense of place
Historical landscape
Landscape and the arts
Landscape-related pedagogy
Landscape methodology

Paper session presentations will be limited to 15 minutes, plus 5 minutes for questions. Poster session presenters will also be asked to give a very brief (approx. 5-minute) introduction to their projects to begin the exhibit.

Abstracts of no more than 250 words are due by January 27, 2012 and can be submitted via the website:
http://iuconference.com/landscape2012/submit.asp.

Please direct any questions and panel proposals to Lisa Braverman, lbraverm@indiana.edu.
