Mental Health and Mental Illness
In Popular Culture
CALL FOR PROPOSALS: SESSIONS, PANELS, PAPERS
2011 Popular PCA/ACA Conference, April 20-23, San Antonio, Texas
Welcome to one of the newest and hopefully one of the most stimulating and provocative Areas of the Popular Culture Association. Throughout recorded history, those regarded as mentally ill have frightened, fascinated and challenged us to look deep within the human experience for answers to the most fundamental of questions about ourselves and each other. However, it has only been within the recent past that Popular Culture Studies, Psychiatry and Psychology have come together in attempts to answer some of these age-old questions.
Please consider submitting an electronic abstract of 150-250 words on a topic that intersects mental health/illness and popular culture. Deadline is 12/15/2010. Suggested topics include:
Depictions of mental health and mental illness in
• Movies, television or animation
• Literature, comics or graphic novels
• Music and musicals
• Advertising
• Sports
• Religion
• Media representations of psychotherapy, counseling
or psychiatry
• Political Movements
• Education
The role of psychology and psychiatry in deepening our understanding of mental health and mental illness through
• Social Media (Facebook, You Tube, Twitter) or
technology
• Fashion or architecture
• Social, religious or political movements
• Entertainment, sports or gaming
• Consumerism, food/eating practices or pornography
• Poverty, racism, discrimination or terrorism
Famous cultural and historical figures that have impacted the confluence of mental health and mental illness through
