Individual paper and panel contributions are welcomed for the seventh
annual international conference of the European Popular Culture
Association (EPCA), to be held at the Charles University, Prague
(Celetná 20), July 24th -- 26th, 2018.

EUPOP 2018 will explore European popular culture in all its various
forms. This includes, but is by no means limited to, the following
topics: European Film (past and present), Television, Music, Costume and
Performance, Celebrity, The Body, Fashion, New Media, Popular Literature
and Graphic Novels, Queer Studies, Sport, Curation, and Digital Culture.
A special emphasis this year will be on the idea of European Identity in
all its diversity.

Papers and Complete Panels for all strands will be subject to peer
review. Proposals for individual presentations must not exceed 20
minutes in length, and those for panels limited to 90 minutes. In the
latter case, please provide a short description of the panel along with
individual abstracts. Poster presentations and video projections are
also warmly welcomed.

There will be opportunities for networking and publishing within the
EPCA. Presenters at EUPOP 2018 will be encouraged to develop their
papers for publication in a number of Intellect journals, including the
EPCA's Journal of European Popular Culture. In addition, we are hoping
to produce an edited collection of essays. Journal editors will be
working closely with strand convenors -- a full list of Intellect
journals is available at:

Culture, Intellect Press).

###### The European Popular Culture Association

The European Popular Culture Association (EPCA) promotes the study of
popular culture from, in, and about Europe. Popular culture involves a
wide range of activities, material forms and audiences. EPCA aims to
examine and discuss these different aspects as they relate both to
Europe and to Europeans across the globe, whether contemporary or
historical.
