CFP: Conference on Comics
University of Regina (Saskatchewan, Canada)
May 2nd, 2009
Comics have become an important cultural vehicle, as can be attested by the numerous movie adaptations, the hundreds of manga titles that are translated yearly and the recent trend to consider graphic novels for literary prizes. Scholars from any discipline are invited to send proposals for papers on any matters regarding comics: Canadian identity in comics, comics for education, the psychology of super-heroes, etc.
Please submit by e-mail a 250 words proposal by January 15th, 2009, along with a request for audio-visual equipment.

CFP: Out of the Ordinary: Urban Humdrum, Everyday Stuff, Public Things
CFP: Out of the Ordinary: Urban Humdrum, Everyday Stuff, Public Things
Location: Ontario, Canada
Call for Papers Date: February 28, 2007
Panels are part of the annual meetings of the Canadian Sociological Association (CSA), in conjunction with the Congress for the Humanities and Social Sciences, in 2007 hosted by the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. The conference will take place between May 29 and June 1, 2007.
Out of the Ordinary: Urban Humdrum, Everyday Stuff, Public Things
Oblivious to grand theories, city dwellers go about their lives simply. They gamble and pray, drive and shop, work and rest: each routine taken for granted. Out of the ordinary emerges a study of urban culture. We are seeking Sociologies of Ordinary Culture that stop to consider humdrum habits as public acts, proposing that collective life is produced through everyday things that at first seem uninteresting. Done week-in-week-out: society is built upon the leisurely plod of the workaday. The collective rites of public life are, perhaps, precariously reliant on the mundane. Directly or indirectly, papers will rescue these routines from obscurity, transforming them instead into the tools city dwellers use to craft sense out of their milieu.
Papers may include but are not limited to the following topics:
- Driving and traffic
- Shopping and consumption
- Scanning, browsing, reading
- Fun and free time
- Cleaning, grooming, clothing
- Neighbors and strangers
- Watches, clocks and being on time
- Policing, inspecting, enforcing
- Maintenance and repair
- Garbage and recycling
- Lotteries and Prayers
- Coffee, Alcohol, and Cigarettes
Please submit your name, affiliation, paper title and a 300 word abstract to Paul Moore (psmoore@ryerson.ca) or Diego Llovet (dllovet@yorku.ca) by February 28th, 2007. Confirmations will be given by March 5th, 2007.
