The Comics and Popular Arts Conference (CPAC) invites submissions for our 12th Annual meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, August 30-September 2, 2019.
CPAC is an annual academic conference for the studies of comics and the popular arts, including science/speculative fiction and fantasy literature, film, and other media, comic books, manga, graphic novels, anime, gaming, etc., presented to a mixed audience of scholars and fans. The mission of CPAC is to promote scholarship on popular culture and to encourage the engagement between scholars and fans in order to deepen our understanding of comics and the other popular arts. CPAC presentations are peer reviewed, based in scholarly research.
We invite proposals that engage in substantial scholarly examinations of comic books/graphic novels, anime, manga, science/speculative fiction, fantasy, or other parts of popular culture.
CPAC talks are presented to a mixed audience of academics and fans, and take place in conjunction with DragonCon. Presentations should be prepared with a general audience in mind. Presenters must register for DragonCon if their paper is accepted in order to present. Presenters from out of town should make lodging arrangements far in advance.
Proposals for individual presentations require a 250-300 word abstract. For group presentations, an additional 1-2 page rationale and explanation of panel format is required. Deadline is January 15, 2019.
