2013 Conference of The Northeast Popular
Culture/American Culture Association (NEPCA)
St. Michael's College in Winooski, Vermont
25-26 October 2013
Proposals by 1 June 2013
Formed in 2009, the Science
Fiction, Fantasy, and Legend Area celebrates its fifth anniversary in 2013,
and, in commemoration of this event, we seek proposals from scholars of all
levels for papers that explore the interrelationships between the various
aspects of the intermedia traditions of the fantastic (including, but not
limited to, elements of science fiction, fantasy, fairy tale, gothic, and
legends) and how creative artists have altered our preconceptions of these
subtraditions by producing, in diverse countries and time periods and for
audiences at all levels, innovative,
genre-crossing or (perhaps) genre-breaking works. Please see our website NEPCA Fantastic
(http://sf-fantasy-legend.blogspot.com/) for further details and ideas.
Presentations will be limited to 15-20 minutes in length (depending on final
panel size).
If you are interested in proposing
a paper or panel of papers, please send a proposal of approximately 300 to 500
words and a one to two page CV to both the Program Chair AND to the Science
Fiction, Fantasy, and Legend Area Chair at the following addresses (please note

The Northeast Popular Culture/American
Culture Association (NEPCA) is a regional affiliate of the American Culture
Association and the Popular Culture Association. NEPCA is an association of
scholars in New England and New York, organized in 1974 at the University of
Rhode Island. We reorganized and incorporated in Boston in 1992. The purpose of
this professional association is to encourage and assist research, publication,
and teaching on popular culture and culture studies topics by scholars in the
northeast region of the United States. By bringing together scholars from
various disciplines, both academic and non-academic people, we foster
interdisciplinary research and learning. We publish a newsletter twice per year
and we hold an annual conference at which we present both the Peter C. Rollins
Book Award and an annual prize.
Membership in NEPCA is required
for participation. Annual dues are currently $30 for full-time faculty and $15
to all other individuals. Further details are available at
