September 4ā5, 2025 on Zoom. Focused on US American imaginaries related to digital and screened narratives and deal with the ways in which screens and digital interfaces influence, construct and disseminate identities, and that examine how these representations shape and reflect societal perceptions of the self, the other, and even AI. We accept proposals that look at texts across popular culture media, including film, graphic narratives, TV series, genre literature, music, games, social media, podcasts, and mocku/documentary.
