International Animation Festival, which is taking place in Portland,
Oregon, June 25th - 30th, 2007. Central conference events will take
place on June 30th and July 1st, when papers and roundtable discussions
will be scheduled. On July 2nd and 3rd, SAS workshops will be presented

Call for Papers

The 2007 conference theme is 'Animation Universe,' to encourage
proposals that address the ubiquitous nature of animation in society
today. Papers might address the relationship between live and animated
imagery, the blending of animation and other arts, the integration of
animated images into social and cultural practices, cross-generational
perceptions about animation, shifts in the realm of animated feature
production or television programming, the growth of animation
industries in countries worldwide, animation and the World Wide Web,
animation and merchandising, the teaching of animation within various
disciplines, or other relevant topics.

Deadline for proposal submissions: Wednesday, November 22. Proposals
will be blind reviewed by a panel of SAS members, and acceptance will
be announced by Friday, December 22.

Individuals wishing to publish a paper in the SAS peer-reviewed journal
(Animation Studies) have two options:

1. Submit your completed paper with your proposal, including the date
by which your decision is needed; it will be forwarded to the journal's
Editor, Nichola Dobson, for peer review.

2. Submit your completed paper within two weeks after the end of the
conference; in this case, it should be emailed directly to Nichola
Dobson.

We are accepting proposals from SAS members for presentations in three
categories:

Category 1: 25-minute paper presentations, which will be delivered on
Saturday, June 30 or Sunday, July 1 as part of the central SAS
conference events.

Category 2: One-hour pre-constituted roundtable discussions, which will
be presented on Saturday, June 30 or Sunday, July 1 as part of the
central SAS conference events.

In addition, the conference chair is accepting proposals in a third
category. SAS members are encouraged to consider proposing a workshop
that will be presented following the conclusion of paper and panel
sessions, as part of a conference-related summer school course for
Portland State University students, on Monday and Tuesday, July 2 and
3. Though space may be limited, workshops may be attended by SAS
conference attendees, possibly for an additional fee. Please notify the
Conference Chair, Daniel Pirofsky, if you are interested in attending.

Category 3: Workshops (between two and six hours in length) offered by
SAS members for Portland State University undergraduate and graduate
students, presenting a mixture of history, theory, and practice.
Workshops should be aimed at students with a beginning to intermediate
range of skill and experience in animation. Workshop projects could be
completed by students during the workshop or after it concludes.
Digital facilities will be available, if required. The University will
offer a small stipend (amount TBA) to SAS presenters as part of its
ongoing Visiting Artist program. Workshop proposals will be
peer-reviewed and must be approved by the conference chair on behalf of
the University. Provided the workshop contains an historical or
theoretical component combined with practice, an abstract of the
workshop or complete manuscript may be published in the SAS online
journal Animation Studies after the event.

Membership requirement: anyone submitting a proposal in any of these
categories must be a paid member of the SAS for 2007. Proof of payment
is required when your proposal is submitted. All members of a
pre-constituted panel also must be paid members. Membership information
(US$35 for professionals/US$20 for students or economic hardship) is
available at the SAS website, www.animationstudies.org.

Deadline for proposal submissions: Wednesday, November 22.

Please be aware that spaces for paper presentations are limited. Late
proposals will not be considered until all other proposals have been
read.

PayPal receipt (or other documentation of payment) to:
