Eighth Annual SAS Conference Plans Announced
Japanese Animation and Global Media
        The Society for Animation Studies announces its Eighth Annual Conference,
to be
held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, September 25-29, 1996.  This
location
is particularly advantageous for scholars interested in visiting the
archives of
the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research.
        This year's call for papers encourages explorations of JAPANESE ANIMATION AND
GLOBAL MEDIA.  However, as always, paper proposals on all topics are
welcome.  The
conference will cover a variety of critical approaches, genres, and historical
periods and will intersperse paper presentations with filmmaker panels,
workshops,
and retrospective screenings of rare and significant animation.
        ALL PROPOSALS SHOULD BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN JULY 15, 1996.  Submit an
abstract that is no more than one page in length outlining the purpose,
method, and
conclusions  of the proposed paper.  The Selection Committee will review all
proposals and respond by the end of July.  Selected participants should prepare
talks of about 20 minutes,  including slide, film and/or video illustrations.
Papers may be delivered in any language, if accompanied by an English
translation.
        The  Conference also  welcomes  preconstituted  panels.  Each will consist
of two
or three presenters plus a respondent.  Panel coordinators should submit a
proposal
by July 15, 1996, which includes a short paragraph explaining the
significance of
the panel, a list of the participants, the  affiliation of each
participant, and
the title and a brief outline of the content of each presentation.
Participants
may propose papers for individual consideration in the event that the
preconstituted panel is not accepted.
         A videotheque will screen films relating to papers and show members'
recent work.
Videotheque suggestions are welcome.  There will also be nightly film
screenings of
35mm prints.  For the second year, publishers will display recent  books  and
journals  relating to animation.  Susan Ohmer is coordinating this event.
Authors,
contact your  publishers!
        The Conference fee is US$75 and includes luncheon on Friday, September 27.  A
limited number of guest rooms have been reserved in Lowell Hall where the
panels
will meet (610 Langdon Street,  Madison, WI  53706 USA, phone 608/231-1341,
US$46
single/US$52 double).  More rooms are available at the Friedrick Center, a long
walk from Lowell Hall, 1950 Willow Drive, Madison, WI  53706 USA, phone
608/231-1341, US$42 single/US$48 double).  There is also the Madison Inn, a
nearby
hotel (601 Langdon Street, Madison, WI 53703 USA, phone 608/257-4391, US$49
single/US$54 double).  Participants will be responsible for their own housing
arrangements.  Reserve your room quickly, because this is a football game
weekend,
and many hotels are already full.
