The “Authorship and Auteurism” area of the Midwest Popular Culture Association/Midwest American Culture Association is now accepting proposals for its upcoming conference. The MPCA/MACA conference will be held Friday-Sunday, 14-16 October 2011, at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
This panel seeks papers that analyze any aspect of auteur theory or authorship studies. Topics may explore any popular medium or cultural production from any time period or country. Of particular interest are papers that focus on authorship and auteurism within the contexts of corporate conglomeration, “globalization,” and technological convergence.
Potential topics relevant to authorship may include:
-New media and technology (transmedia authors, etc.)
-Authorship in the age of postmodernity and globalization (transnational auteurs, etc.)
-Auterism after the “death of the author” (author functions and malfunctions, corporate authors, etc.)
-Authorship and auteurism as historical, geographical, and/or cultural practices
-Class and economics
-Race and ethnicity
-Gender and sexuality
-Narrative and genre
-Aesthetics and style
