UPDATE

This is an update to alert those of you interested in attending the Southwest-Texas PCA/ACA Conference to the extension of the deadline for submissions to the Hitchcock panel. The deadline is now NOVEMBER 15, 2003.

The Southwest Texas Popular Culture Association and American Culture Associtiation will once again be sponsoring sessions on the work and career of ALFRED HITCHCOCK. The 25th annual SW/TX PCA/ACA Conference will be held, in conjunction with the National PCA Conference, April 7-10, 2004 at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio, TX.

Please consider delivering a paper on any aspect of Hitchcock and his work. Essays are welcome from any theoretical or critical perspective, including those that focus on specific texts as well as those that explore larger concerns of Hitchcock's career. Moreover, essays that trace cultural and/or textual influences on Hitchcock's films or his influence upon other directors, artists, and critics are especially welcome. These are just a few of the rich and strange possibilities in the world of Hitchcock studies. So, please consider joining us at this year's conference.

Direct abstracts to Jason Landrum via the email address below. Abstracts should be limited to 500 words. The deadline for submission of abstracts is NOVEMBER 15, 2003.

For information about the conference and hotel, please consult the conference web site. Check-in periodically for updates, and we look forward to seeing you in April.
