CFP: Apocryphal Biography & Autobiograhpy, MAPACA Conference, 11/2007, Phildelphia
Deadline:
Mon May 21, 2007 00:00
Call for Session Proposals -- Apocryphal Biography & Autobiography -- Mid-Atlantic Popular Culture Annual Conference, Philadelphia, PA from 11/2-4, 2007
Deadline: July 1, 2007
This session seeks papers that examine the use of creative license in a
biography or autobiography. For the purpose of this session, creative
license is when the facts of a person’s life are adjusted or revised to
benefit the subject. The process may be conscious or unconscious: a subject may purposefully mislead a biographer or may misremember past events while recounting them. In addition, an autobiography whose author has not been overly honest may become the foundation for biographies which repeat the same “facts”. Papers should rely upon primary and secondary sources, such as letters, diaries, and published documents, to explore how creative license was used in the production of an accepted biography or autobiography.
Previous papers have included: “A Case of Suspicious Genealogy: Abb?
Lambert & the Mansart Family”; “Trauma Victim or Drama Queen?: Art &
Artifice in Sylvia Plath’s Self-Portrayals”; “On Henry Miller’s Spiral Form in His Autobiographical Novels”; “1850's Letters from Rembrandt: The Place of Spiritualism in Mount’s (Auto)biography”; “Arthur G. Dove: Reevaluating the Life & Work of the “Naive” American”; “Eleanor Antin’s Portraiture of the 1970s: The Fiction of the Self”; “Truth & Fiction: Or, How Buckminster Fuller Became an Architect”.
The 18th Annual Mid-Atlantic Popular/American Culture Association’s 2007 conference is from November 2-4, 2007 at the Radisson Plaza-Warwick Hotel in Philadelphia, PA. Registration fees apply. For more information, please go to .
