Proposals by 10 June 2013
Formed in 2009, the Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Legend Area celebrates its fifth anniversary in 2013, and, in commemoration of this event, we seek proposals from scholars of all levels for papers that explore the interrelationships between the various aspects of the intermedia traditions of the fantastic (including, but not limited to, elements of science fiction, fantasy, fairy tale, gothic, and legends) and how creative artists have altered our preconceptions of these subtraditions by producing, in diverse countries and time periods and for audiences at all levels, innovative, genre-crossing or (perhaps) genre-breaking works. Please see our website NEPCA Fantastic (http://sf-fantasy-legend.blogspot.com/) for further details and ideas.
