CFP: Shakespeare and Popular Culture
Mid-Atlantic Popular/American Culture Association
Annual Conference â Hyatt Regency, New Brunswick, NJ
November 4-6, 2005
Shakespeare may be considered the highest of high culture, but he is firmly in the realm of popular culture as well, existing, apparently happily, in films, comic books, rock lyrics and TV commercials. The Shakespeare in Popular Culture area invites projects that examine and describe the integration of Shakespeare and North American culture, including but not limited to: festivals, fiction, advertising, comic books, music, theatre, television and film. Papers can examine not only what these appropriations and adaptations say about Shakespeare, but also about North American popular culture. Proposals that examine the pedagogical issues of negotiating between Shakespearean texts and popular interpretations are also welcomed.
To submit a proposal, please send a 150-word abstract (include AV needs â VCR/monitor or carousel projectors/ screens only) and a brief bio or CV to Annalisa Castaldo, at acastaldo_at_mail.widener.edu, or 135 Lexington Avenue,
E. Lansdowne, PA 19050, by June 15, 2005. Panels of 3 or 4 presenters, single papers, roundtables, or alternative formats are encouraged.
