Mid-Atlantic Popular Culture Association's 2025 Annual Conference
Sonesta Hotel Philadelphia (1800 Market St, Philadelphia, PA 19103)
6-8 November 2025
The Association for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture invites proposals for an in-person panel on the theme of "(Re)Animating the Middle Ages: Adapting the Medieval in Animated Media" for the Mid-Atlantic Popular Culture Association's 2025 Annual Conference, which will run from Thursday, 6 November, to Saturday, 8 November 2025.
Proposals might cover any aspects of the medieval in animated films, animated shorts, anime, computer-generated images, games, or television cartoons.
We are especially looking for presentations on medieval-themed anime and adaptations of Beowulf, the Robin Hood tradition, and the works of J. R. R. Tolkien but also welcome work on other texts and traditions.
A resource guide for the project is accessible at https://tinyurl.com/ReAnimatingTheMiddleAgesRG.
Please send a short biography and paper proposal (300 words or less) to the organizers at medievalinpopularculture@gmail.com by Thursday, 24 July 2025.
(Be advised that MAPACA will require accepted presenters to create an account in their conference system. There will also be a registration fee to participate in the event.)
