Riceviamo dall'ICAF la seguente richiesta rivolta come ogni anno ad Accademici, Studiosi, Autori. Come potete notare si tratta di interventi scientifici sulla letteratura disegnata in linea con gli scopi di studio dell'ICAF che non a caso è collegato con l'Università della California:CALL FOR PAPERS The Ninth Annual INTERNATIONAL COMIC ARTS FESTIVAL (ICAF) September 30 - October 2, 2004 Washington, D.C. (exact venue TBA). The International Comic Arts Festival invites scholarly paper presentations for its ninth annual meeting, to be held in the Washington, D.C. area from Thursday, September 30, through Saturday, October 2, 2004. We welcome proposals from a variety of disciplines and theoretical perspectives. All proposals should address the history, aesthetics, cultural significance or critical reception of comic art (including comic strips, comic books, albums, graphic novels, political cartoons, other panel cartoons, caricature, or comics in electronic media). Proposals will be refereed via blind review. PROPOSAL GUIDELINES. For its scholarly presentations, ICAF prefers argumentative, thesis-driven papers, clearly linked to larger critical, artistic or cultural issues. We strive to avoid presentations that are merely summative or survey-like in character. Where possible, papers should be illustrated by relevant images (e.g., slides, transparencies). In all cases, presentations should be timed to finish within the strict limit of TWENTY (20)MINUTES. Proposals should not exceed 300 WORDS. At the bottom of the proposal, the author should precisely state her/his audiovisual equipment needs. Note that ICAF cannot provide a VCR, freestanding DVD player, or monitor. Proposals requiring computers or data projection equipment should include exact system specifications. (Presenters relying on computers are urged to bring their own equipment for backup. Though ICAF strives to meet basic equipment needs, we cannot guarantee the availability or compatibility of computer equipment.) REVIEW PROCESS: All proposals will be subject to blind review by the ICAF Executive Committee, with preference given to proposals that observe the above standards. The final number of papers accepted will depend on the needs of the conference program as it develops. (In the past ICAF has typically accepted slightly less than half of the proposals it has received.) SEND ABSTRACTS (with COMPLETE contact information) BY FEBRUARY 27, 2004, TO: Prof. Charles Hatfield, ICAF Program Coordinator, Department of English, California State University, Northridge, 18111 Nordhoff Street, Northridge CA 91330-8248 USAor via email at <charles.hatfield@csun.edu>. Submitters should expect to receive confirmation of acceptance or rejection by 30 April 2004.
About ICAF: The International Comic Arts Festival is an annual conference dedicated to promoting the scholarly study of comics. ICAF aims to foster recognition of comic art as an international and interdisciplinary phenomenon, and to encourage collaboration between academics, independent scholars, comics professionals and the wider public. To reach these objectives, ICAF invites the participation of scholars, historians, critics, teachers, journalists, curators and comics professionals from around the world. We strive to create a collegial environment in which discussion can flourish, with the larger goals of enabling new work within the international scholarly community and inspiring greater public appreciation of comic art.A three-day event, ICAF takes place each fall in and around Washington, D.C., and draws a diverse audience of academics, independent scholars, comics creators and enthusiasts. ICAF always includes keynote lectures by invited scholars, presentations by distinguished artists, and, at its core, a large number of scholarly paper presentations chosen via blind review. ICAF events are generally free and open to the public. For information on past ICAFs, visit our website at http://go.to/icaf.
