Extended deadline for submissions: 1st June 2004
Panel title: "Holy Hercules! Myth and Superheroes"
Panel for "Holy Men in Tights!" Superheroes Conference, 10-12th June 2005, University of Melbourne, Australia.
Papers are sought for a panel examining the relationship between superheroes and myth. Papers might consider superheroes overtly based on mythology (such as Wonder Woman or The Mighty Thor). Alternatively, papers might consider how the heroes of myth have informed the development of the superhero figure. Different approaches to the role of myth in popular culture are welcomed. Papers can consider superheroes in any media (for example epic poetry, comicbooks, television or film).
Please send a 500 word proposal to Djoymi Baker via email at djoymib@unimelb.edu.au, by June 1st, 2004 (note extended deadline). Please also include a brief, one paragraph biography.
