CFP: Battlestar: Gallactica and Jung (6/1/05; 8/4/05-8/6/05)

CALL FOR PAPERS

Panel on Science Fiction Network Cable Series BATTLESTAR: GALLACTICA

I am organizing a panel on the Science Fiction Channel’s Series BATTLESTAR:
GALLACTICA for the 2005 Conference of The Jungian Society for Scholarly
Studies.

BATTLESTAR: GALLACTICA is one of the most discussed television series in
recent years. It is the focus of many serious discussions, one of which is
situated within Jungian theory: the archetype of the hero (Apollo or Adama),
the presence of a constant Shadow (the Cylons, Dr. Baltar w/Number Six in his
head), anima/animus [e.g., Starbuck and Apollo, Cmdr. Adama and President
Roslin, Baltar and Six], Synchronicity, etc. Of course, any other Jungian
and/or post-Jungian approach to Lost is fine to propose.

DEADLINE: June 1, 2005

Proposals may be sent as attachments (MS-Word, or Corel WordPerfect) to:

< BSilliman_at_uri.edu >

Proposals by mail are submitted to:

Dr. Barbara Silliman

Below is the information part of the CFP for the 2005 Conference, which gives
you some information about the conference.

2005 Conference of The Jungian Society for Scholarly Studies

The Jungian Society for Scholarly Studies (TJS3) -- founded by a group of
dedicated scholars -- studies, disseminates, and develops the works and
theories of Carl Gustav Jung and the Post-Jungians, especially as applied to
literature, the humanities, and the fine and performance arts. TJS3 organizes
a yearly interdisciplinary academic conference at which members can present
scholarly papers, organize roundtable discussions, and provide interactive
workshops in which Jungian psychological theory is used to advance awareness
of the individual and of the individual’s connection to the entire life
community.

The 2005 TJS3 Conference will be held at the University of RI, Alan Shawn
Feinstein College of Continuing Education (CCE), Providence, RI.
Conference-priced hotel rooms have been arranged at the newly opened The Hotel
Providence, 1-1/2 blocks from the CCE building.

The dates of the conference are Thursday-Saturday, August 4-6, 2005.

Topics for papers, panels, and workshops: In this multidisciplinary
conference, topics are not limited to literature, the humanities, and the
arts; any proposal that utilizes, promotes, or presents an informed critique
of Jungian or Post-Jungian theories is eligible for presentation.

Paper proposals: No more than 300 words in length and must include:
(1) the presenter’s name and affiliation, (2) mailing address and phone
number, and (3) email address. Responses will be via email.

Proposal for Panels: Should include all proposals for each presentation with
each presenter’s name and affiliation, mailing address, and email address.
Number of presenters is strictly limited to a maximum of four (4). Responses

each member’s name and affiliation, mailing address, and email address.

Conference Site: Providence is the capital city of the State of Rhode Island
and has undergone a remarkable renewal over the past 10 years. Called “The
Renaissance City” by such publications as Newsweek, it has become a center for
art, education, first-class dining, professional theatre, and commerce.
Within walking distance are several excellent restaurants, including McCormick
& Schmick’s, the Federal Reserve, India, and L’Epicureo (which is the
restaurant in The Hotel Providence), and such delis and pubs as Blake’s Pub,
Union Street Tavern, Dean’s Deli, and Tazza’s. Just three blocks away is the
newly opened Providence Place Mall, which includes both a National Amusements
multiplex and an IMAX theatre. A quick bus ride up famously steep College
Hill will bring you to Thayer Street where students and faculty of Brown
University and the RI School of Design mingle with residents at top
restaurants, shops, and bookstores.
