The deadline has been extended for this CFP. Please read through for
updated information.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

We are organizing at least one (but hopefully more) panel(s) on BATTLESTAR
GALACTICA for the Science Fiction and Fantasy Area of the Popular Culture
Association for the 2007 conference of the ACA/PCA in Boston, Massachusetts,
April 4-7, 2007.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (BSG) is one of the most highly acclaimed science
fiction television series ever. A serious use of the future to explore the
present, BSG is regularly praised by mainstream critics as an important
drama not to be missed.

CALL FOR PAPERS

"Parables in Drama"

Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE) Conference
New Orleans
July 26-29, 2007

Parables and drama, and specifically parables in drama, work performatively
to "redescribe" the world as we know it and force the audience to perform a
redescription of reality. They deserve our attention for the ways in which the
self and our world are constructed and deconstructed. But most especially,
parables in drama consider layers of readings that highlight what the best of
both genres have to offer.
