Proposals for papers and panels are now being accepted for the 46th
annual SWPACA conference. One of the nation’s largest interdisciplinary
academic conferences, SWPACA offers nearly 70 subject areas, each
typically featuring multiple panels. For a full list of subject areas,
area descriptions, and Area Chairs, please visit
https://swpaca.org/subject-areas/ <https://swpaca.org/subject-areas/>__
**
*The Graphic Novels, Comics, and Popular Culture (GNCPC) Area seeks
presentation proposals on formal, cultural, historical, and theoretical
dimensions of sequential art in all its forms (comics, graphic novels,
anime, etc.).*
Presentations may focus on a single work, put works into productive
conversation with one another, or investigate relationships between
works of sequential art and their transmedia adaptations; in the latter
case, however, significant emphasis should be placed on sequential art –
those proposals focusing too much on film, television, gaming, or other
formats will not be read favorably.
Authors may also submit field-provoking critical literature reviews
intended to reframe scholarly discussion around major disciplinary
themes or questions, works of sequential art history or historiography,
ethnographic work concerning sequential art audiences, studies of the
sequential art industry’s political economy, or investigations into new
forms of sequential art storytelling, consumption, distribution, or
marketing.
*All proposals must be submitted through the conference’s database at
**https://swpaca.org/app* <https://swpaca.org/app>**
For details on using the submission database and on the application
process in general (including submitting proposals for roundtables and
preformed panels), please see the FAQS & Resources tab on
https://swpaca.org/ <https://swpaca.org/>
Individual proposals for 15-minute papers must include an abstract of
approximately 200-500 words. Including a brief bio in the body of the
proposal form is encouraged, but not required.
For information on how to submit a proposal for a roundtable or a
multi-paper panel, please view the above FAQs and Tips page.
*The deadline for submissions is now November 14, 2024.***
