The
organizers of Born to Be Bad are seeking manuscripts for an anthology devoted to trash and
exploitation cinema. Much of
the energy of Trash Studies has gone into exploring its paradoxical
status as the study of material designed to be discarded.
With Trash Studies now gaining a certain critical momentum
and even institutional legitimacy, this volume promises to contribute
to the field by concentrating upon the material circumstances under
which trash artifacts and genres have been produced and consumed.
Theoretical and metacritical essays are
welcome, but we are particularly interested in work that focuses upon
the exhibition, marketing, and reception of trash cinema, and upon
the institutional frameworks that helped to produce (and dispose of)
trash objects. Contributions might examine individual films, advertising,
exhibition sites, the interrelationship of diverse trash media, public
discussion of trashy movies, methods of trash production, and so on. Confirmed
contributors include Eric Schaefer, Joan Hawkins, Amy Ongiri,
Kevin Heffernan, and Ernest Mathijs.
