This year the SW/TX PCA/ACA also celebrates its 30th Birthday with our
theme, “Reeling in the Years: 30 Years of Film, TV, and Popular Culture.”
Papers are particularly sought on aspects of film, TV, and popular culture
of the last 30 years with an emphasis on the popular culture of 1979.
Theme papers should be sent to Dr. Philip Heldrich pheldrich_at_sbcglobal.net.

The SW/TX PCA/ ACA also invites papers for one of its 70+ Area offerings in
American Studies, Literature, Film, Television, Science Fiction and
Fantasy, Ethnic and Gender Studies, Ecocriticism, Southwest Culture,
Western Studies, Writing Pedagogy, Creative Writing, and many more!

Since the 1970s, the Southwest/Texas PCA/ACA has sought to foster
interdisciplinary study of popular and American literary, historical,
visual, and other cultural and media texts. We like to think we are a
unique organization that pioneered the study of Popular Culture before it
was cool. While our offerings have grown over the years to include areas
of international study, we still invite scholars and artists to share their
perspectives on American life in the diverse region of the Southwest.

This year’s keynote address will be given by former New Mexico Governor
David F. Cargo. David F. Cargo began his legislative career in the New
Mexico State House of Representatives from 1963-1967, then served two terms
as the Governor of New Mexico from 1967-1971. As Governor, David Cargo
founded the New Mexico Film Commission, the first of its kind nationwide,
which brought Hollywood film production to New Mexico. Continuing a
tradition of governors who act, David Cargo played roles in several films
such as The Gatling Gun (1973), Bunny O’Hare (1971), and Up in the Cellar
(1971) about a student poet who seduces his college president's wife,
daughter, and girlfriend over lost financial aid. Gov. Cargo holds a B.A.,
M.A., and law degree from the University of Michigan.
