National PCA 2008 Comics Panel Chair (Discourse Chronicle)
Comments(0) [I noticed today that National Popular Culture Association placed its tentative program online and my request to be a panel chair in the Comics area again passed. The conference is being held in San Francisco this March and both Elizabeth and I will be presenting. Here is my session:
Friday, March 21, 2:30-4:00pm
Golden Gate Hall Salon B2
292 Comic Art & Comics XIV: Comics and Community
Chair: Bobby Kuechenmeister
“Critiquing Racism, Homophobia, and Homogeneity: How the X-Men Comics Reflected and Advocated Social Change for American Society”
Tim Rodenberger, University of North Dakota
“American Comic as a Global Ideological Container: Hegemony, Imperialism, and Hybridization in Superhero Stories”
Estefanía Martínez, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale,
“The Sandman: World Citizen, Global Text”
Manuel-Julian R Montoya, Emory University
“Community, Rhetoric, and Poetics in Superman: Birthright”
Bobby Kuechenmeister, Bowling Green State University
I look forward to panel chairing again because last year I performed my duties and presented with a cold. BK]
