Organizers of the 34th annual Southwest/Texas Popular Culture and American Culture Association conference seek paper and panel submissions to the “Literature (General)” category. This area will provide a forum for scholarly presentations on literary subjects outside of our more specific Literature areas. (Before submitting to the general area, please check the special area list, as you may find a home there: http://swtxpca.org/documents/123.html#Literature.)

Areas of interest might include literary theory; interdisciplinary approaches to literary analysis; aesthetics; literary history; experimental writing (other than poetry – see list above); genre criticism; historical or cultural criticism; regional literatures; and, popular forms of literary expression beyond our noted areas. We particularly encourage submissions addressing our 2013 conference theme, "Celebrating Popular/American Culture(s) in a Global Context."

Submit 250-word paper abstracts or 500-word panel proposals online to area “Literature – General” at: http://conference2013.swtxpca.org. All proposals must be submitted to the database; no email submissions, please.

Direction questions about the Literature (General) Area to: Dr. Shelley S. Rees, srees@usao.edu. Deadline for proposal submissions: November 16, 2012.
