Call for Papers & Creative Work:
The deadline for submitting proposals has been extended to 28 February
2002!
The Beast Fable Society and its refereed yearbook, Bestia, are pleased
to announce
their 9th International Congress on “Animals in Fact, Fable, and
Scripture: An Ecumenical Examination.”
Congress Dates and Venue: 13-19 June 2002, Malta and Sicily
“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 creative work (in English) are welcome from littérateurs,
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.
