Recreational Images of Presidents Paper submissions are sought for the area of "Recreational Images of Presidents." Presidents have used their leisure activities to promote themselves as "outdoorsmen and sportsmen" in an attempt to affiliate themselves with the average American. This area invites papers that investigate how presidents presented themselves via hunting, fishing, golfing, mountain climbing, etc. The Film and History League Conference will be held from November 10-12, 2000, at the Westlake Hyatt Hotel, Westlake, CA. Papers might address how the iconography of the presidents portrays them to the American public. Or, panelists might explore how presidents use their leisure/recreational activities to promote environmental issues, animal rights, gun control, and the role of sports in American society. A broad range of topics and approaches are encouraged; for example, one might study the various parodies of Gerald Ford's golfing exploits or the presidents and their pets or presidents and fishing or sailing.
