CFP: Culture of Rivers and River Cities (5/30/05; MPCA, 10/14/05-10/16/05)

The Cultural Geography area of the Midwest Popular Culture Association
invites papers about River Culture to be presented at this October's
meeting at the Westin Hotel in St. Louis.

Presentations may examine any aspect of rivers' influence on human life
and the development of culture. Papers on popular culture and the arts
are especially welcome (e.g., how do rivers serve as conduits of
culture? how do river cities serve as gathering points for cultural
exchange?), as are papers that celebrate our meeting in St. Louis by
focusing on the Mississippi.

Proposals of around 250 words should be emailed to jdsmith_at_unionky.edu
before May 30, 2005.
