Oceanic Popular Culture Association Conference in Honolulu, HI, May 22-23 at Chaminade University of Honolulu

Although not mentioned in the original conference CFP, we are now accepting proposals on the topic of “Terror and Political Violence in Popular Culture.” Presentation content need not focus on the Hawai’i-Pacific region. The panel will be organized on a thematic rather than regional basis, so research on Europe, Latin America, the United States, or the Middle East (as well as other geographic areas) would be welcome. Papers that examine either current or historical portrayals of terrorism and/or political violence in popular culture are particularly encouraged.

Please send 150-200 word abstracts/proposals for individual papers on this topic to alan.rosenfeld@hawaii.edu by January 5, 2009.
