    CFP: SUGAR, SPICE, AND EVERYTHING NICE:
    (An Anthology on Films About Teenage Girls and Young Women) Despite the
    historic prevalence of youth films throughout film history, there is not
    much scholarship on the genre. Of the literature that does exist, very
    little focuses on issues of gender. We seek essays that examine the
    construction of girlhood, questioning such aspects as power, ethnicity,
    race, and sexuality. We welcome essays on film shorts and documentaries, as
    well as feature films. Contributors are encouraged to consider "classic"
    films as well as contemporary. Possible topics may include, but are not
    limited to:
    Industrial Practices
    Audiences and Reception
    Intersection of multiple axes of differentiation and
    "Otherness"
    Depiction of Female Friendships
    Feminism
    Romance
    Stars
    Consumerism
    Coming of age
    Class
