"We have no being beyond our stories. Our stories explain us, justify us, sustain us, humble us, and forgive us." Malea Powell, CCCC 2012 Chair's Address

We all have C's (Conference on College Composition and Communication) stories. Some are profound, some are quirky, some are sad, some are unsettling, some are insightful, some are scandalous, and some are just plain hilarious. We've told them over beers, in cars over miles, and within faculty lounges. Our field is based on these stories. We think it's time for the field to hear your story.

Tales After Tolkien: Medievalism and Twenty-First Century Fantasy Literature. IMC, Kalamazoo May 9-12, 2013

Monday, July 9, 2012 - 8:49pm
Helen Young, University of Sydney

For a work of contemporary fantasy literature to be compared with those of J. R. R. Tolkien can be either compliment or condemnation; the juxtaposition might suggest a major, original contribution to the genre or imply a work is merely derivative. Yet if Tolkien had one of the first words on fantasy and medievalism he did not have the last. Author Steven Erikson recently described himself and other writers of epic fantasy as "post-Tolkien" in The New York Review of Science Fiction and lamented the tendency of some scholars to not realise that "we've moved on." This panel seeks papers which explore the ways in which twenty-first century fantasy literature deploys 'the medieval' with all its relics, forms and incarnations.

40 Years after 'The Draft:' Re-Historicizing Conscription and American Media (Proposed Panel for SCMS 2013, March 6-10 Chicago)

updated: 
Monday, July 9, 2012 - 4:13pm
Society for Cinema and Media Studies

This panel strives to contextualize this history of mandatory military service by examining media representations of the draft. 2013 marks the 40th anniversary of the official end of the longest extended period of military conscription in American history, essentially running from 1940 to 1973. The panel hopes to consider issues of propaganda, subversion, nationalism, gender, race, sexuality, religion, and/or class identity as well as broader national narratives of citizen soldiery. I welcome research related to various forms of media – including but not limited to film, radio, television, comics, and videogames – from both the period of the draft as well as media showing retrospective depictions.
