CFP: Medievalism in Popular Culture
PCA/ACA 2017 National Conference
April 12 – 15, 2017 – San Diego, California
The Medievalism in Popular Culture Area accepts papers on
all topics that explore either popular culture during the Middle Ages or
transcribe some aspect of the Middle Ages into the popular culture of later
periods. These representations can occur in any genre, including film,
television, novels, graphic novels, gaming, advertising, art, etc.
For this year’s conference, I would like to encourage submissions on some of
the following topics:
·
The
Arthurian World
·
Codes of Conduct and/or Representations of
Fellowship
·
Adaptation
·
Medievalism
in Game of Thrones
·
Robin
Hood
·
Medievalism
and Teaching
·
Board
Games/Online Gaming and/or Cosplay
·
Medievalism
in Advertising
If your topic idea does not fit into any of these
categories, please feel free to submit your proposal as well. I would like to encourage as
much participation as possible, and depending on submissions, I may rearrange
the topic groupings.
All papers will be included in sessions with four
presenters each, so plan to present on your topic for no more than 15 minutes,
inclusive of any audio or visual materials.
Panel submissions are also welcome on any topic of
medievalism. If you would like to propose a panel, please submit your complete
panel to me directly at cfrancis@bloomu.edu. Individual papers must be submitted
to the PCA online system (see below).
Submission requirements:
Please submit a title and a 250 word abstract to conference.pcaaca.org. All submissions must be directed
to the online database. Be sure to indicate whatever audio/visual needs
you may have. Traditionally, all rooms at the PCA/ACA conference provide
a projection screen with sound capability. Presenters are required to
bring their own laptops and any special connectors.
Deadline for submission: October
1st, 2016 (one month earlier than previous years)
If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact Christina Francis, Associate Professor
of English, Bloomsburg University, at cfrancis@bloomu.edu.
