Call for Papers: 2003 American Studies Association Annual
Meeting
16-19 October 2003
Hartford, Connecticut

Viewer Discretion Advised: Violence and Belonging on US
Television

Abstracts invited for a talk and/or online session
investigating the ASA's general conference theme, "Violence
and Belonging," in popular television and video in the US.
Contributions may address a wide range of topics including,
but not limited to, suggested, threatened, or perpetrated
violence and televisual representations of race, class,
sexuality, ethnicity, or nationality; representations of
violent sex, S/M, sex clubs, or strip shows; bloody bodies
and news or documentary coverage of medical procedures;
belonging and exclusion with respect to genre, advertising,
station or network affiliation, and/or community standards;
blurrings of fiction and non-fiction in made-for-television
movies about infamous crimes; fantasies of domestic bliss
and spectacles of domestic violence on reality, news, court
TV, or trash talk shows; non-normative reproduction,
genocide, and stylized violence against marked or
marginalized bodies or species on science fiction; special
coverage of political activism, community protests, or
rioting with respect to disenfranchisement; special reports
and live local, national, or cable news coverage of
purported terrorists, snipers, border-crossers,
criminals-on-the-run, and/or other "undesirable elements";
sitcoms and laughable urban crime; US nationalisms and
violent sunderings of margins and centers on public
television.  I welcome a broad range of disciplinary
perspectives and methodological paradigms dealing with any
aspect of television and video. Send 500-word abstracts and
one-page cvs electronically to Nancy San Martín at
[log in to unmask] by 7 January 2003.

All conference participants must register for the ASA's
annual meeting and be members of the ASA or of an
affiliated international American Studies Association.

Please distribute widely.
