Vernon Press invites chapter proposals on the theme: “A Hero Will
Endure”: Essays at the Twentieth Anniversary of Gladiator for an edited
collection. All areas of study, with a common goal of representing the cultural
and material impact of the film since its release in May 2000. Martin M. Winkler edited a collection about Gladiator regarding its
historical and media aspects. There are also several single essays about
psychological (Skweres), political, or cultural issues related to the film.
Nevertheless, there have been no other collections on the cultural and social
impact of the film since its release. With the twentieth anniversary
approaching in 2020, the time is right for presenting new insights about this
award-winning film.
Specific topics that the editor is seeking to round out the collection
include:
- Depictions of the environment in the film
- Depictions of nonhuman animals in the film (i.e. tigers)
- Insights and innovative interpretations of characters besides Maximus (Commodus, Juba, Proximo, Gracchus, the senators, Lucilla, Lucius Verus)
- Material and pop cultural aspects of fandom (posters, collectibles, other influences)
- Cosplay and convention events
Deadline for submissions: May 17, 2020
First drafts due by July 1, 2020.
