Timeframes: Narrative and Sequence in Comics

Sunday 28th June 2009, 1-6pm
Dalhousie Building, University of Dundee

Timeframes, the third annual Dundee comics conference, held in association with the Dundee Literary Festival, will explore how the medium of comics bends, distorts and manipulates time. Proposals for papers are requested on this theme, focusing on the representation of the past and future in comics, or how comics capture the present, or how the comics form relies on sequence.

Proposals should be 300 words long, for papers lasting 20 minutes. For more information contact Dr Chris Murray (c.murray@dundee.ac.uk), or consult the Literary Dundee website.

A PDF version of the "Call for papers" poster is also available for printing and display.
