CFP: Reading Nip/Tuck
Last date for paper submission: Sun, 15 Oct 2006Organizer: Jennifer Stoy
Deadline for proposals: Mid October 2006
Deadline for papers : March 2007
Ryan Murphy’s imaginative and controversial series, Nip/Tuck, is one of a number of American television shows that has taken on critical social and cultural issues in the last decade. Nip/Tuck in particular has examined the American dream, the mid-life crises of the Baby Boom generation, sexuality, and queer readings in extremely innovative ways. The “deeply shallow” show has looked into the mirror of American ideals of beauty, youth, and success and provided an entertaining, chilling, and queer reading of them.
This volume, to be published by IB Tauris books and edited by Roz Kaveney and Jennifer Stoy, seeks critical articles of 3500-5000 words on a topic based on Nip/Tuck. Ideas include:
+ The relationship between main characters Christian Troy and Sean MacNamara
+ Plastic surgery’s representation on screen
+ Sexualities, queer and otherwise
+ Transgender issues as they appear on Nip/Tuck
+ Masculinities on the show
+ The American dream
+ Baby boomers and the generation’s representation on the show
+ Location: how Miami and Miami’s population does or does not play a role in the series.
Other topics are of course welcome.
Please send your article proposals of 500 words or less to jmstoy@umail.ucsb.edu and
rkaveney@googlemail.com . Thank you.
