CFP: MLA Conference -- Graphic Novels and YA Collections

CFP: MLA Conference -- Graphic Novels and YA Collections

CFP for the MLA conference, to be held in Washington, D.C., December 27-30, 2005.
Deadline, March 15, 2005

This session will focus on papers that explore young adulthood via the genre of graphic novels. Papers might also address aspects of the production of comic art, artistic analyses or psychological studies of cartoon characters. Historical studies discussing the graphic novel as related to other forms of young adult literature are also welcomed. Other areas might include how young adults lay claim to graphic literature often not written with them as an intended audience.

By March 15, submit a detailed abstract, and an abbreviated c.v. or brief biographical note via email (e-mail submissions greatly preferred) to t.mielke@worc.ac.uk.
