The Southwest/Texas Popular Culture and American Culture Associations will hold their 30th annual meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on February 24-28, 2009. Proposals are now being accepted for panels on Reality Television. In keeping with this year’s theme, “Reeling in the Years: 30 Years of Film, TV, and Popular Culture,” papers are particularly sought on aspects of film, TV, and popular culture of the last 30 years with an emphasis on the popular culture of 1979. As always, papers on any facet of reality television are also welcome.
Previous years’ presentations have explored the place of reality television in modern culture; the ways in which reality television programs are shaped as narrative; the development of reality television programs as genres; the psychological, sociological, and philosophical appeal of reality television; the ways in which reality television series subvert and/or reinforce cultural, regional, and gender stereotypes; the genesis, development (and decline?) of the reality television program; and, the application of literary critical approaches to unpack reality television programs.
Topics not included here are also welcome.
Abstracts of 150-250 words may be sent to Dr. James Bell (bell@cofo.edu) by a priority deadline of November 15, 2008. The final deadline for submissions is December 1, 2008. Please include a working title and a brief biography of 100 words with your submission. Email submissions are preferred.
