Literature/Film
Deadline for Submissions: 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.
I'm especially interested in receiving abstracts/proposals that deal
with the following suggested topics; however, any abstract dealing with
Literature/Film is welcomed and will be considered:
"It Came from Outerspace" -- Examining Older Sci-fi "B" movies ('50s and
'60s) as a genre category of its own
The accuracy of fairy tales vs. the movie industry.
How do historical facts reveal themselves (or not) in film?
How does the use of imagery (symbols, colors, whatever) in novels reveal
itself in film and how does it affect the outcome of the film?
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:
