The Québécois Landscape in the Cinema: To See and Be Seen
This panel invites papers on cinematic visions of the landscape as broadly conceived in urban, rural or natural terms. How do fictional or documentary representations from within francophone Québec articulate with those from differing ethnic or national cinema cultures, whether they be anglophone Canadian or North American, First Nation, French, etc.? Is this in fact a productive opposition, and what is the role of transculturality in re-imagining the Québécois landscape in contemporary cinema? Papers in French or English are welcome. Please send a one page proposal to Lee Hilliker at hillikl@eckerd.edu.
