CALL FOR ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTORS

As joint editors of a proposed collection of essays, WORKING IN THE FILM & TV INDUSTRIES, we are looking for two additional contributors. We are at an advanced stage in assembling the collection and already have seven papers dealing with historical and contemporary aspects of the Indian, African, Western European, Scandinavian, and North American industries. All areas and themes are welcome.

Here is an extract from the original call for contributors: We welcome papers dealing with any aspect of the histories of those who work in front of and behind the camera as actors, extras, technicians, cinematographers, drivers, writers,
makeup artists, directors, secretaries, janitors, and producers. Papers can deal with any period from the origin of the industry to the present. While we expect contributions dealing with the major industries of North America and Western Europe, we are particularly interested in receiving papers from those researching the industries of Asia, Africa, and South America. Possible themes might include: global
free trade and cultural nationalism; stars and stagehands; recruitment, training and film schools; workers’ political and trade-union activity; the relationship between individual creativity and collectivity; the impact of government
(de)regulation; managerial strategies and ideologies; the shifting division of labour; gender and race; and the historiography of work and workers in the film & TV
industry.

If you think you can make a contribution please contact either of the joint editors.
