CFP The Undead (NeMLA) (9/30/11)

The Undead (deadline 9/30/2011)
full name / name of organization: Northeast Modern Language Association
contact email: lindsay.bryde@gmail.com

This seminar seeks papers with strong analytical theses that offer readings of the undead phenomenon in literature and/or pop culture. Proposals may theorize the undead, offer close readings of individual undead texts, contemporary or not, but should keep in mind the big picture question: why is this material resonating so strongly with contemporary audiences (American or otherwise)? How do we, in other words, make sense of our love of the undead? Send 300-500 word abstracts and a brief biography to Lindsay Bryde at lindsay.bryde@gmail.com.
