CFP: The Transcultural South in Film; (10/15/06; SASA,
2/14/07-2/18/07)
This panel for the Southern American Studies Association
conference will explore filmic intersections between the
culture of the U.S. South and the cultures of other
locations around the globe. Among many potential topics,
papers might investigate invocations of the American South
in films produced outside the U.S. or they might explore how
films set in the American South represent, reflect, or
sublimate multicultural interactions within the region.

Please submit paper proposals (of 250 words) by October 15,
2006 to Kathryn B. McKee, University of Mississippi,
University, MS 38677 or email to kmckee_at_olemiss.edu. If you
would like to join the SASA, please go to:

The Southern American Studies Association (SASA) invites
paper or complete panel proposals for its biannual meeting
to be hosted by the University of Mississippi,
February 14-18, 2007, in conjunction with the annual Living
Blues Symposium. The theme of the conference is "Blues
Tunes / Blues Texts: Music, Cultures and Literature in the
Global South." This truly interdisciplinary meeting brings
together scholars of literature, culture and music with
musicians, radio industry insiders and fans of the
blues who will consider how literature and music shape the
living cultures of the global, post-regional South.
