CALL FOR PAPERS
Symposium on the 19th Century Press, the Civil War,
and Free Expression
October 31-November 2, 2002
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
The steering committee of the tenth annual Symposium on the 19th
Century Press, the Civil War, and Free Expression solicits papers
dealing with U.S. mass media of the 19th century. Selected papers
will be presented during the three-day conference in Chattanooga,
Tennessee, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, October 31-November 2,
2002.
The purpose of the November conference is to share current research
and to develop a series of monographs on the 19th century press, the
Civil War and the press, and 19th century concepts of free
expression. Papers from the first five conferences were published by
Transaction Publishers in 2000 as a book of readings called The Civil
War and the Press.
While the central focus of this conference - and most of its
anticipated future publications -- is the 19th century press, the
symposium also welcomes papers on the civil war in fiction and
history. The steering committee has selected from past conferences
eleven papers to be published in a book called: The Civil War in
Fiction and History: From Uncle Tom's Cabin to Scarlet O'Hara and
Cold Mountain. The committee hopes to select as many as nine more
papers on this topic from future conferences to complete this volume,
and so is particularly eager to receive symposium papers on such
topics as The Birth of a Nation, Gone With the Wind and Roots.
The symposium is sponsored by the George R. West, Jr. Chair of
Excellence in Communication and Public Affairs, the UT-Chattanooga
Department of Communication, the Provident Chair of Excellence in
Applied Mathematics, the Chattanooga Times Free Press, and WRCB-TV
Channel 3, and because of this sponsorship, no registration fee will
be charged. Symposium headquarters is Chattanooga's historic Read
House hotel four blocks from the University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga campus. The hotel and the university campus are only
blocks from Union and Confederate cemeteries, located within sight of
both Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge.
The deadline for papers has been extended to September 10, 2002.
Papers should be able to be presented within 20 minutes, at least 10
to 15 pages long.
Send four copies of your paper and a 200-300 word abstract (sending
the abstract and paper on computer disk will indicate willingness to
be published in a future volume) to:
