The Renaissance Hotel, Nashville, Tennessee, USA
Memorial Day Weekend, May 28-30, 2004
Call for Papers
Deadline for proposals extended to October 31st.
To see the SCBtVS Board, go here.
Go here to see the CFP on the UPenn CFP Site.
The CFP will go out to all subscribers of Slayage and to anyone who has written us concerning the conference and be posted on the University of Pennsylvania's CFP's page and through other websites and lists.
David Lavery and Rhonda Wilcox, co-editors of Fighting the Forces: What's at Stake in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Slayage: The Online International Journal of Buffy Studies, solicit your proposal for the Slayage Conference on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, sponsored by Middle Tennessee State University. Visit the in-development conference website at http://www.slayage.tv/conference/.
We welcome a 250-word proposal or a completed paper on any aspect of BtVS or Angel from the perspective of any discipline--literature, history, communications, film and television studies, women's studies, religion, philosophy, linguistics, rhetoric, music, cultural studies, and others. We invite discussions of the text, the social context, the audience, the producers, the production, and more. For a lengthy but not exhaustive list of possible topics, see below and/or examine the in-development Encyclopedia of Buffy Studies at http://www.slayage.tv/EBS/.
All proposals/essays must exhibit strong familiarity with already published scholarship--in Fighting the Forces, in Reading the Vampire Slayer, in Buffy and Philosophy, in Slayage, etc. Papers are limited to a maximum reading time of 20 minutes. Send proposal/essay title, abstract of 200-250 words, and requests for audiovisual equipment (VCR/monitor, overhead projector, and slide projector only) along with contact information: Institutional affiliation (or notation that you are an independent scholar), email address, snail mail address, telephone number. Submissions by undergraduate and graduate students are accepted; however, students (except for doctoral students) must submit a sponsoring faculty member's phone number and email address. Go to http://www.slayage.tv/conference/proposals.htm.
Or you may submit your proposal or paper as an email attachment in Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format. (You may wish to copy the abstract into the body of the email message as well.) Submit simultaneously to both David Lavery at david.lavery@gmail.com and Rhonda Wilcox at rhonda_w@gdn.edu. If you wish to propose a pre-arranged, complete session, please contact both David Lavery and Rhonda Wilcox at the above email addresses.
Deadline for proposals extended to October 31st.
