                         CALL FOR PAPERS

The Southwest/Texas Popular Culture Association and American Culture
Association invite papers or panels treating any aspect of Captivity
Narratives for its annual meeting to be held at the Sheraton Old Town
Hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico (February 9-12, 2000).

Indeed, topics that lend themselves to this classification are numerous
and varied. A paper addressing the role of Homer's Briseis, a study of
the Biblical Daniel, a film review of the John Wayne movie, The Searchers,
a discussion of Fowles's The Collector, a review of the Lindbergh
kidnaping, presentations on slave narratives as well as P.O.W. survival
tales could all be described as "Captivity Narrative" analyses.

Please submit a one-page abstract or panel proposal and a c.v. by December
1, 1999 to the Area Chair:
