It will be held at Aristotle University in Thessaloniki, Greece, 19-21 June, 2014.

We are interested in scholarship on all forms of popular media: not just fictional modes (novels, films, TV shows, comics, song lyrics, fan fiction, etc.), but also didactic genres (advice columns, dating manuals, newspaper debates about love or marriage “in crisis”), depictions of real-life love, and the representations of love, romance, and material culture deployed by advertising (wedding dresses, courtship rituals, etc.).

Please submit your proposals for individual papers, full panels, roundtables, interviews, or innovative presentations for peer-review consideration to conferences@iaspr.org by November 15, 2013.

See the official Call for Proposals for more details.
