>From Poe’s undead women to Count Chocula to Rice’s rock-star vamp to
Hollywood’s perennial Dracula obsession, American culture has stitched a
complicated and often contradictory set of social and ideological meanings
into the vampire. This panel aims to untangle some of this knot and explore
what the vampire has meant in American culture(s). The panel is open to
various approaches and interests-- material culture, literature, psychology,
social history, politics, intellectual history, children’s culture, science
fiction, comic books, feminist and queer theory, etc.
Please send:

3. complete contact info
