Apologies first for cross-posting.

Galia Press-Barnathan, Kyle Grayson, and I have organised a section titled 'The Popular Culture of the International' and we would welcome your panel and paper proposals in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.

Here is a description of the section:

This 6th WISC Conference, held for the first time in South America, will focus on exploring ‘the international.’ Since the publication of Dorfman and Mattelart’s “Para Leer al Pato Donald” in 1971, work on pop culture in world politics has been at the forefront of exploring the multiple manifestations of ‘the international’ and the politics surrounding it – moving away, though not deserting, the focus on the state, to explore domestic and transnational processes, and the role of non-state actors, groups, and individuals. The study of pop culture in world politics has enriched the study of ‘the international’ by expanding its focus onto different actors, different types of political processes (e.g., everyday politics), and to different disciplines across the Social Sciences and Humanities. For this conference we welcome proposals that include theoretical and empirical studies that explore different dimensions of the pop culture of ‘the international’. We welcome submissions from a multitude of methodological approaches, and different disciplines, with the hope of enhancing our understanding of the value and limitations of different approaches, and encouraging cross fruition. Furthermore, with the aim of developing a dialogue between students and scholars from different latitudes and hemispheres, we especially welcome proposals that explore the pop culture of the international from various, non-Western perspectives.

Thank you!
Matt Davies
