Comic Books & Popular Culture
Call for Papers/Presentations
The Popular Culture division of the South Atlantic Modern Language Association (SAMLA) invites papers or proposals for presentation at the annual meeting of the South Atlantic Modern Language Association (SAMLA) to be held November 12-14, 2004 at the Hotel Roanoke and Convention Center in Roanoke, Virginia
Deadline: 3/15/04
The study of Popular Culture strives to interpret media and other cultural materials that construct and reconstruct world perspectives, collective behaviors, and even identities by providing symbols, myths, and resources. In 2004, the Popular Culture division will turn its attention to the world of comic books. Abstracts are invited that discuss aspects of comic books as popular culture (heroes, villains, gender, art, audience, history, impact, violence, etc.). The deadline for abstracts (500 words) is March 15, 2004. Because this panel deals with popular culture, I encourage you to incorporate a visual element (handouts, slides, and/or video clips) into your paper/presentation.
Please submit:
#9786; Paper/Presentation Title and a 500-Word Abstract
#9786; Brief vita or a one-paragraph biography.
#9786; Personal contact information: name, department, school affiliation, mailing address, and email address.
#9786; Requests for Equipment
