CALL FOR PAPERS 

MIDWEST POPULAR CULTURE ASSOCIATION/ MIDWEST AMERICAN CULTURE
ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONFERENCE

October 30-November 1, 2009
Book Cadillac Westin Hotel 
Detroit, Michigan

FILM/LITERATURE ADAPTATION

Proposals for either papers or panels are especially welcome in the area
of recent conceptualizations of adaptation. The recent work of Robert
Stam, Linda Hutcheon, Kamilla Elliot, and others has dramatically urged
a rethinking of the nature of adaptation, its inevitability in culture,
the multiplicity of its productions, its range of social and formal
implications, as well as the variety of texts engaged by its
transactions.

Suggested topics include (but are not limited to):

New models of adaptation/appropriation/imitation/translation
Adapting texts and intertexts
Canonicity and adaptation
Novel and short story to film 
Drama to film 
Film to film adaptations
Adaptations based on television
Biography and autobiography adaptations
Adaptations of history 
Adaptation superstars (Jane Austen, Frank Miller…)
Fellowship of the Ring adaptations
Graphic novels/comics/video games to film
Intermedia adaptations

Inquiries regarding this area and/or abstracts of 250 words may be sent
to Bob Self at the email or physical address below. 

Information about the conference is available at http://www.mpcaaca.org/

Submission deadline is April 30, 2009
