[Discussion] CFP: Media(ted) Deviance: Representations of Deviancy in Media (2/2/05; 4/22/05-4/23/05)

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

We invite panel and individual-paper proposals for the Media(ted)
Deviance Conference, to be held at Plymouth State University (Plymouth,
New Hampshire) April 22-23, 2005.  The members of the conference
committee are seeking contributions that explore noteworthy
representations of "deviancy," broadly defined, in various media forms
(e.g., film, television, the Internet, newspapers, books, etc.).
Submissions pertaining to any historical era are desired.  Participants
are encouraged to interpret the conference theme broadly and
innovatively.  Individual presentations will be limited to 20 minutes in
length.

We encourage submissions from scholars, educators, and students at all
levels, and from disciplines including anthropology, communications,
cultural studies, film studies, GLBT studies, history, literature, media
studies, popular culture, sociology, and television studies.  Selected
papers will be published (with author=92s permission) in a special
anthology pertaining to the conference theme.  As a bonus, please note
that the conference dates allow presenters to take advantage of a
much-needed weekend getaway before the end-of-semester "insanity" kicks
in!

Persons submitting individual-paper proposals are asked to submit a
one-page abstract with complete contact information (name, institutional
affiliation, snail-mail and e-mail addresses, daytime telephone number,
fax number).  Panel proposals (featuring three paper-presentations
total) should include panel title, brief description of panel theme,
name of the panel chair, one-page abstracts of each paper in the panel,
and complete contact information for each presenter on the panel (name,
institutional affiliation, snail-mail and e-mail addresses, daytime
telephone number, fax number).  In order to be considered, all proposals
must be received no later than February 2, 2005.  Individuals will be
notified of the status of their proposals within two weeks of the
submission deadline.

Please mail or e-mail conference proposals to:  Screen Media and Sexual
Politics Conference, Attn: Kylo-Patrick Hart, Department of
Communication Studies, Plymouth State University, 17 High Street, MSC
60, Plymouth, NH 03264; krhart@plymouth.edu
