Call for Papers & Creative Work
The Beast Fable Society and its 9th International Congress are pleased
to announce:
“Animals in Fact, Fable, and Scripture: An Ecumenical Examination.”
Congress Dates: 13-19 June 2002, Maltese Islands
“Animals in Fact, Fable, and Scripture: An Ecumenical Examination” is an
interdisciplinary, cross-cultural
look at how human beings from all walks of life look at, think of,
treat/mistreat, write about, teach, learn from,
and cohabitate with animals. This includes—but not limited to—literary
and artistic presentations; theoretical and
hermeneutical approaches; zoological and medical perspectives; ethical,
religious, and philosophical exegeses;
public, national, and international policy making; commercial and
financial considerations; and historical and
fictional narratives.
Papers and original fables (in English) are welcome from literateurs,
creative writers, nature writers, and literary
scholars; historians; artists; philosophers; theologians; scientists;
economists; ethicists; animal lovers; journalists
who cover animal rights in the media (old journalism adage: “‘Dog bites
man’ is not a story, but ‘Man bites dog’
is.”); and champions of animal rights.
N.B. All papers and original fables delivered at the Congress will be
considered for publication in Bestia, the
Society’s refereed Yearbook.
Reduced group fares and room rates are available to Congress
participants and their immediate family
members.
