DEADLINE EXTENDED! CFP: Special Topics: Stardom and Fandom, SW PACA (11/15/13; 2/19-22/14)

Join us for the 35th Annual Southwest Popular Culture and American Culture Association Conference (www.southwestpca.org), February 19 – 22, 2014 at the Hyatt Regency in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The theme of this year's conference is "Popular and American Culture Studies: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow." The Special Topics Area Chair for Stardom and Fandom invites paper or panel proposals on any aspect of stardom or fandom.

Proposal submission deadline: November 15, 2013. (Please see below) Any and all topics will be considered, although we especially encourage proposals on:

The 10th annual conference of AFIS will be held in the National Concert Hall and an exceptional part of the event will be the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra's French-flavoured concert on Friday 23 May.

The New Union (www.new-union.co.uk), an online literary magazine, requires articles for online publication.

We welcome articles on any and all subjects and genres, and from any period in history.

We also invite articles that look at current news, events, politics, etc and connect them with literary topics past and present.

Articles should be approximately 1,000-2,000 words in length.

The only stipulation is that every article must be interesting and unique. No dull, academically formal articles required! We want funny, irreverent, and witty articles (unless your specialist subject is death, in which case you are excused!).
