>The Division on Culture and War of the Cultural Studies Association (U.S.)
>invites proposals for papers related in any way to the so-called war on
>terror for the Fifth Annual Meeting of the Cultural Studies 
>Association, Portland, Oregon,
>April 19-21, 2007

>This division invites papers on what James Castonguay has termed the
>cultural production of the war on terror. In the wake of 9/11, the wars in
>Afghanistan and Iraq, and the Bush administration's so-called global war on
>terror, warfare has increasingly been waged not only on the battlefield but
>also on the field of culture. Indeed, the culture industries have been
>actively testing the "entertainment value" of the war on terror, offering a
>range of problematic texts that signal symptomatically the cultural
>mediation of current events.
>
>The division welcomes papers that consider television programming (24, The
>Unit, Over There), film (United 93, Jarhead, Syriana), documentaries (The
>Power of Nightmares, Baghdad ER, The War Tapes), video gaming (America's
>Army, Full Spectrum Warrior, War on Terror), new media, and other cultural
>forms. Related panels will likely be organized around such themes and
>methodologies as claims on the real, class analysis, gender and racial
>politics, nationalist discourses, global audiences, and counter-hegemonic
>cultural production and reception.
>
>Please send the following by Saturday, October 21 (with all due apologies for
>such short notice):
>
>a. Your name, email address, department, and institutional affiliation.
>b. A 250-400 word abstract for the 20-minute paper proposed, including a
>paper title.
>c. Any needed audio-visual equipment must be noted with your proposal. No
>requests for AV equipment can be honored later.
>
>Inquiries and abstracts can be sent to Tony Grajeda at
