    CALL FOR PAPERS

    Society of Early Americanists
    Second Biennial Conference
    March 8 to 10, 2001
    Norfolk, Virginia

    Session Title: FILMING EARLY AMERICA

    Papers welcomed on how historical films or film adaptations affect
    scholarly and pedagogical approaches to early America (pre-1820).
    Panelists might address, but are not limited to the following
    questions: Do historical films complement or compete with our written
    documents of history and historical figures? How does a film of a
    non-fiction text alter the discussion of film adaptation? How are
    historical films or film adaptations of literary texts used in the
    classroom? Participants invited from all fields, including English,
    history, religion, film, theater, and communications.

    Send one to two page paper abstracts (either by regular mail, fax, or
    e-mail) to:
