Popular Culture Panel of the South Atlantic Modern Language Association:

Panel Title: Anxieties of Reference in Popular Culture

This panel seeks to theorize forms of intertextuality based on =
referentiality. The scope extends from literature to media to games to =
hybrid textual forms, looking at how cross-textual inflections create =
dialogical, revisionary spaces dependent upon-yet also outside of-the =
texts involved in the relationship. The panel explores a new =
understanding of textual plurality, on textual lineages as processes =
rather than products.
