Call for Papers: From Sea to Shining Sea
The Popular Literary Landscapes panel of the Mid-Atlantic
Popular/American Culture Association welcomes abstracts of papers
(200-250 words) on literary descriptions/portrayals of the American
landscape. The descriptions may be factual or fictional, in poetry
or prose; the focus may be on land or seascape, city or countryside.
The chair is open to any submitter's thematic preference, but
requires that the submitter's choice and treatment of subject matter
demonstrate a sensitivity to the connection that exists between
land/seascape descriptions and the cultural ideals and values that
inform them. The panel encourages the view of Simon Schama that
landscapes (as opposed to references to actual places) represent
embodiments of a culture's ethos.
Include AV needs in your proposal: only VCR/monitor or
carousel projectors/screens.
Deadline for submissions is 25 June 2004
The conference will meet in Buffalo, NY from 5-7 November 2004
