Cultural Crossings: Production, Consumption, and Reception across the 
Canada-US Border

http://www.kent.ac.uk/ccusb/events/nottingham.html

Second international Culture and the Canada-US Border conference
University of Nottingham, 20-22 June 2014

Keynote Speakers: Charles Acland, Danielle Fuller, and DeNel Rehberg Sedo

Call for papers:

The Leverhulme Trust-funded Culture and the Canada-US Border 
international research network is pleased to invite proposals for papers 
or panels addressing topics related to cultural production, consumption, 
and reception across the Canada-US border. The 49th parallel has been 
considered by many Canadian nationalists to symbolize Canada’s cultural 
independence from the United States, with attendant anxieties about how 
an “undefended” border might fail to safeguard Canadian culture 
adequately. This conference seeks to probe the implications for the 
production, consumption, and reception of literature, film, television, 
music, theatre, and visual art in relation to the Canada-US border. We 
encourage analysis of cultural texts, phenomena, and industries both in 
terms of how they might operate differently in Canada and the United 
States and the ways in which they might straddle, or ignore, the border 
altogether. We invite proposals on both contemporary and historical 
cultural texts and contexts.

Although submissions on any relevant area of interest are welcome, we 
particularly welcome papers focusing on the following in a cross-border 
and/or comparative context:


* · book histories and publication contexts

* · reading cultures and communities

* · Hollywood North/runaway film and television production

* · Film exhibition and television broadcast

* · Performance

* · Re-mounts, re-makes, and adaptations

* · Musical production, consumption, or reception

* · Museum and gallery exhibition

* · Aesthetic influences

* · Cultural policy

* · Economics and their implications for cultural production and consumption

* · Fan cultures

* · Celebrity culture

* · Cultural workers

* · National habitus

* · Prize culture

* · Reading and/or viewing

* · Cultural censorship


Please send 300-word proposals for 20-minute papers and a brief bio to 
(CCUSBorder /at/ kent.ac.uk) by 1 November 2013. Panel proposals should include 
individual paper proposals plus a 100-words summary of the panel’s theme.

A limited number of bursaries are available for graduate students 
delivering papers. Please email (CCUSBorder /at/ kent.ac.uk) for details.
