What Lies Beneath: Postgraduate Conference 2003

This conference was held on the 6th November 2003 and provided a forum for postgraduates across all Melbourne based universities to meet and examine the palimpsestic and intertextual aspects of a wide range of cultures and cultural products in a collegial and academically stimulating environment.

Two post-conference publications options were made available to presenters.

The First Option: 20min presentations posted on this conference website are available from the Index of Papers.

The Second Option: Papers were developed into a 5000-word article to be submitted for a special edition of the The Refractory: A Journal of Entertainment media.

Presenters were invited to take advantage of either or both opportunities and submission to one did not preclude selection for the other.
