Apologies for cross posting Hello all! "Queer/ing Animation" is developing nicely with a strong emphasis on queer readings of animated work and queer understandings of the medium as a whole. However, we are still looking for abstracts on queer fan communities (ex. queer interpretations of a character, slash and femslash communities), animation as a tool for queer activism, queer representation within animation (ex. positive representation, gaps in representation, possible examples of queerbaiting), and studios’ relationship with queer communities (ex. treatment of queer employees, interaction with queer fans, marketing practices aimed specifically at the queer community). If you missed the last CFP or if you saw the CFP and missed the deadline, this is a great second chance. Please send a 250 word abstract and 100 word biography to Kodi Maier at [log in to unmask] Abstracts are due 16 June 2017. The symposium will take place at the University of Hull on 26 July 2017. https://www.facebook.com/queeringanimation -------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA mailing list -------------------------------------------------------- To manage your subscription or unsubscribe from the MECCSA list, please visit: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=MECCSA&A=1 ------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA is the subject association for the field of media, communication and cultural studies in UK Higher Education.
