The Television area of the Midwest Popular Culture Association/Midwest
American Culture Association is now accepting proposals for its 2014
conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. We are looking for papers that examine
any aspect of television, from any time period, and using any number of
methods. Potential topics for paper or panel proposals include, but are not
limited to:


   - The impact of online distribution and streaming and the rise of
   Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon as producers of original programming
   - The intersections between television and social media, from hashtags
   to live-tweeting
   - The representations of gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, and
   class and economics
   - The increasing discourse surrounding the showrunner as an auteur figure
   - The "return" of miniseries and event series programming
   - The role of remakes, reboots, spin-offs, adaptations, and franchises
   - The trends in less "quality" genres and formats: talk shows, soap
   operas, morning TV

   Please submit a paper abstract of 250 words or a panel proposal
including short abstracts and titles of each prospective paper to the
"Television" area on the MPCA/ACA Submission website (
submissions.mpcaaca.org). We strongly encourage pre-constituted panel
submissions. Please know that you will need to register to the website in
order to submit a proposal. Please do not submit the same item to more than
one Area.


Include name, affiliation, address, and e-mail address of each
author/participant. You must specify any AV and any special scheduling
needs with your proposal. MPCA/ACA can provide an LCD projector for
presentations.

If you have any questions about submissions to the Television area, please
