CFP: Comic Art & Comics Area Popular Culture Association Conference, April 12-16, 2006
Atlanta Marriott Marquis Hotel - Atlanta, GA 30303, USA
The Comic Art & Comics Area of the PCA invites all comics scholars to participate in the 2006 meeting of the Popular Culture Association and American Culture Association. Details of the conference can be found at the conference website: http://www2.h-net.msu.edu/~pcaaca
The Comic Art & Comics Area offers a chance for scholars from across the country (and the globe) to share their research and exchange ideas on the growing field of comics scholarship. Graduate students and those without current academic affiliation are welcome. Papers on all aspects of the medium are invited.
This call asks for individual paper proposals or submissions for entire panels. If a presenter would like to propose a special panel or roundtable discussion, please e-mail the chair so she can forward the request to the mailing list. If you are submitting a panel, please make sure to note the members of your panel, including their complete contact information.
Papers should be delivered in 15-20 minutes, maximum. The PCA limits presenters to one paper given at the conference, so if you are interested in presenting a paper in the Comic Arts & Comics Area, do not submit a paper to another area.
Audio/Visual Note: The PCA will supply DVD players and TV monitors only - no slide or overhead transparency projectors, VHS players, etc., will be available. If you wish to use a laptop, you must bring a compatible S-Video cable.
Participants are eligible for the annual M. Thomas Inge Award for Comics Scholarship, awarded to the top paper presented in the Comic Art & Comics Area of the PCA.
