Call for papers: WisCon 25 the conference of feminist science fiction
Memorial Day weekend, May 25-28 2001, at the Concourse Hotel in
downtown Madison, Wisconsin
We invite papers and presentations on any topic within feminism, science
fiction, fantasy or horror (both literature and media). We especially
welcome papers on the work of this year's guests of honour, Nancy Kress
and Elisabeth Vonarburg; and special guest Carol Emshwiller.
Papers at WisCon cover a wide range of topics and ask many different
kinds of questions:
* histories of feminist science fiction
* Whiter than white? If the future is going to be white middle class
and American can you kill me now?
* approaches to particular authors such as Karen Joy Fowler, Nalo
Hopkinson, Ursula Le Guin, Maureen McHugh, C. L. Moore, Kim Stanley
Robinson, James Tiptree, Jr. and many many others
* are warrior women really the answer?
* histories and stories and adventures of feminist fandom
* representations of men in horror films
* the class systems of the Star Trek universe
* the James Tiptree, Jr. Memorial Award
* gender bending in science fiction comics
* U.S. Politics: Fantasy, Horror, or Science Fiction?
