*New deadline for the reception of proposals: September 16th, 2019 * Hi all, We are pleased to share the Call for Papers for the fifth edition of the Game History Annual Symposium “Beyond games: Tinkering and Creative Appropriation of Video Games” that will take place on the 17th-19th of November 2019 in the Old Port of Montreal, in collaboration with the MEGA and MIGS. ***You will find all the details for the Call for Papers at the following website*** https://www.sahj.ca/cfp/ The symposium focuses on the personal and oral histories of fandom and hobbyist designers, their preoccupations, practices, and political economies. We are not only interested in the manifestations and history of these scenes, but also in how fandom themselves participate in the creation and distribution of historical discourse about the objects of their affection. Thus, we invite members of collecting and creating communities to participate with scholars in two days of conversation and events. Thanks!
