Contemporary Science Fiction and Fantasy
Submission Deadline: November 1, 2001
The 7th Annual GES Conference will be held February 22-23, 2002 at Texas
Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. The theme of this year's conference,
"Past and Future Perspectives: Negotiating our Changing Field,"
addresses our changing field from the graduate scholar's perspective.
The palindrome of the year suggests examination of ways our past can
help us deal with our future regarding issues arising from new theories,
cultural shifts, evolving technologies, and recent discoveries.
While I am especially interested in abstracts/proposals which address
the following suggested topics, abstracts dealing with any aspect of
Contemporary Science Fiction and Fantasy are welcome and will be
considered:
1) Redefining or expanding gender roles in contemporary science fiction
and fantasy;
2) Adaptation of Classical myth in contemporary science fiction and
fantasy (this could include Xena, Star Trek, Star Wars, Buffy the
Vampire Slayer, Tomb Raider, etc. as well as literary science fiction
and fantasy)
3) general topics/abstracts in contemporary science fiction and fantasy
E-mail submissions are strongly encouraged; please put "GES Conference
Proposal" in the subject line for all electronic submissions.
Participants may present no more than two papers or be on no more than
two panels.
Abstracts/Proposals (250 words) and inquiries should be addressed to:
