<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b>CALL FOR PAPERS: COLLOQUIUM ON THE WORK OF JOHN M. CLARKE<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b>MASSEY UNIVERSITY, PALMERSTON NORTH, 25-26 MAY 2018<o:p></o:p></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">John Clarke (1948-2017) was one of Australia’s and New Zealand’s most accomplished and most celebrated humourists. >From his early performances as the iconic character, Fred Dagg, to his creation of one of Australia’s most acclaimed screen
comedies, <i>The Games </i>(1998-2000), and through his three decades of incisive comic interviews alongside Bryan Dawe, Clarke emerged as the pre-eminent antipodean political satirist, working across multiple media and formats. His influence was such that
he did not simply embody the comic traditions of two nations but transformed and extended them. Clarke’s comedy occupies a central place in the cultural landscape of both countries that he called home.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One year after his untimely death in 2017, contributors are invited to propose papers for a colloquium that will critically examine his life and work. The event will be held at Massey University, Palmerston North—the city of Clarke’s birth
and childhood—from May 25-26. The academic program is planned to accompany several other events remembering Clarke’s life and work.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Papers are welcome on any aspect of Clarke’s life and work, his relationship to comic and national traditions, his work across different media, and his role as a satirist, commentator and public figure. A limited number of papers may be
selected for inclusion in a forthcoming 2019 special issue of the <i>Journal of</i>
<i>Comedy Studies</i> [<a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rcos20/current">http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rcos20/current</a>] dedicated to Clarke’s comedy.
