CALL FOR PAPERS
===============

The Popular Culture Association and American Culture Association
will hold their annual meeting at the San Diego Marriot Hotel and
Marina on March 31-April 3, 1999.  (Easter is April 4, 1999).

Deadline: September 15, 1998

The PCA section on DIME NOVELS, PULPS, AND SERIES BOOKS is requesting
paper proposals for presentations of 15-20 minutes. Papers may cover
any aspect of these subjects, including (but not limited to) themes,
authors, major characters, audience, publishing history, bibliography
and resarch methods, authorship, special collections, and matters of
gender, image, or attitude.

Although this is primarily an academic conference, all people with an
interest in these subjects are invited to participate; you need not be
a professional writer or scholar.

Potential participants are reminded that membership in either the PCA
or ACA is required as well as registration for the conference.

All participants are requested to send a 250-word abstract which will
be  posted on the section's website

        (http://www.oldkidsbooks.com/pca.html)

and may be included in other promotional materials. We understand and
recognize that a research topic can evolve slightly.

First-time participants should sent a 1-2 page proposal (including a
sample bibliography of proposed reference sources) with a 250-word
abstract.

The deadline for submitting proposals and abstracts is September 15,
1998. Please include an e-mail address if you have one. Also, include
any AV requests (slide projectors or VCR) with your abstract.

Send all materials to:

        James D. Keeline
