Individual paper and panel contributions are welcomed for the seventh

Association (EPCA), to be held at the Charles University, Prague 
(Celetná 20), July 24th – 26th, 2018.

EUPOP 2018 will explore European popular culture in all its various 
forms. This includes, but is by no means limited to, the following 
topics: European Film (past and present), Television, Music, Costume and 
Performance, Celebrity, The Body, Fashion, New Media, Popular Literature 
and Graphic Novels, Queer Studies, Sport, Curation, and Digital Culture. 
A special emphasis this year will be on the idea of European Identity in 
all its diversity.

Papers and Complete Panels for all strands will be subject to peer 
review. Proposals for individual presentations must not exceed 20 
minutes in length, and those for panels limited to 90 minutes. In the 
latter case, please provide a short description of the panel along with 
individual abstracts. Poster presentations and video projections are 
also warmly welcomed.

There will be opportunities for networking and publishing within the 
EPCA. Presenters at EUPOP 2018 will be encouraged to develop their 
papers for publication in a number of Intellect journals, including the 
EPCA’s Journal of European Popular Culture. In addition, we are hoping 
to produce an edited collection of essays. Journal editors will be 
working closely with strand convenors – a full list of Intellect 
journals is available at:

the conference registration and accommodation details. The likely 
conference fee will be 100 euros (student), and 150 euros (other). The 
fee includes coffees, lunches, evening reception & dinner, and EPCA

Culture, Intellect Press).

The keynote speakers will be announced in early 2018.

The European Popular Culture Association

The European Popular Culture Association (EPCA) promotes the study of 
popular culture from, in, and about Europe. Popular culture involves a 
wide range of activities, material forms and audiences. EPCA aims to 
examine and discuss these different aspects as they relate both to 
Europe and to Europeans across the globe, whether contemporary or 
historical.
