PRINT CULTURE AND THE CITY 
March 26th-27th 2004 
Department of Art History and Communications Studies 
McGill University, Montréal 

Conference organizers: 
Kevin John Bozelka 
Danielle Schwartz 
Will Straw 
Jessica Wurster 


The Department of Art History and Communications Studies and The 
Culture of Cities Project at McGill University invite proposals for 
an interdisciplinary conference on Print Culture and the City. This 
conference will seek to stimulate dialogue and debate on the 
relationship between print culture and urban life. Papers may address 
a variety of forms of urban print culture: periodicals, newspapers, 
advertisements, flyers, books, broadsheets, calendars, posters, maps, 
etc. 

Papers are expected to be no more than 20 minutes in duration. An 
abstract of 300-350 words should be submitted by September 1st. 
Potential presenters are asked to submit a short biography (2-3 
lines) and full contact information with their proposals. 

The organizers intend that this conference will allow substantial 
amounts of time for discussion. Therefore, a limited number of papers 
will be accepted.
