CFP: Potter as Bibliotherapy
The following call for papers is for a pre-approved special topic session to be included as part of the RMMLA annual conference to be held in Tucson, Arizona, October 12-14, 2006. Presenters must be current in 2006 RMMLA dues by April 1. Presenters also are required to pay the
applicable convention registration fee. Information may be found at rmmla.wsu.edu.
Submissions are welcomed for "Potter as Bibliotherapy: Reading Harry for the Cure." Bibliotherapy is a common casual social practice, when people recommend books to each other on the basis of perceived links between events in books and in people's lives. As a psychological tool, bibliotherapy is most often used to help children or youths process issues and problems. However, the curative benefits of reading are not confined to the very young. The Harry Potter books explore the psychological and social injuries of early childhood loss, bullying, child abuse, racism, and so on. Through the stages of bibliotherapy, the reader--child or adult--identifies with situations and characters and has a cathartic experience. This session seeks to explore the
therapeutic function of J.K. Rowling's books. Proposals of approximately 250 words should be pasted into the body of an e-mail message and sent to [email protected].
