Dr Antonio M da Silva, Language Coordinator in Portuguese from the Department of Modern Languages, is co-editing with Mariana A C da Cunha from the Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil, a collection provisionally titled Space and Subjectivity in Contemporary Brazilian Cinema for the publisher Palgrave Macmillan.

The editors are seeking original contributions for the collection, 5,000 to 6,000 words in length, to explore interdisciplinary perspectives of space in Brazilian cinema, that may include perspectives on class, gender, race, and how these are influenced by space and spatial practices.

Approaches engaging with the fields of geography, politics, philosophy, gender studies and urban studies, that will address the implications of their investigation on the relationship between space and subjectivity are particularly welcome.

In the first instance, please send a 250-300 word abstract, with five bibliographic references and a brief biography, to spaceandsubjectivity@gmail.com by Tuesday 5 January 2016. The full call for submissions is available at http://www.kent.ac.uk/secl/news/index.html?view=5212.
