Been waffling, but finally decided to go next week to the 35th Annual SWPACA Pop Culture Conference in Albuquerque. Nick Gerlich invited me to sit in on their Roundtable as a Breaking Bad Super Fan, and hopefully add some color to interesting discussion with Serious Academics. Plus, I want to clap at inappropriate times when Miguel S. Jaramillo speaks.
It's fun looking at the meeting and talk titles of this thing. Something for everyone! Unmasking and the Politics of Literacy in "The Hunger Games"; Fat Positive Genre Fiction; "That Curious Sense of Your Own": Dimensions of Deadhead Identity; A Bit of the Old Ultraviolence; James Bond, Espionage, and Eurospy; Mystery Science Theater and the Culture of Riffing; Performance(s) of Identity, Hyperreality, and Psychic Fragmentation; Identity Construction in "The Vampire Diaries"; Production, Pedagogy, and Fandom in "Doctor Who"; Roundtable: "Whither the Zombie?"; Women and Hip Hop; Alfred Hitchcock 2: Psycho Is for the Birds, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", Archetype and Identity, Teaching History With Horror Film, The Internal (Harry) Potter; Theology of "Breaking Bad" and Girl Geniuses; "Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog" Singalong; How American Beat Poetry Influenced Portuguese Beat Poetry; Warnings Against Gender Equality in Orwell’s "1984".
