Conference: ‘Weird Lovecraft: H.P. Lovecraft, Weird Tales, and the American Horror Canon’

≈ Comments Off on Conference: ‘Weird Lovecraft: H.P. Lovecraft, Weird Tales, and the American Horror Canon’

News of an upcoming academic conference (or perhaps a conference strand?) on Lovecraft, to be held in Vermont — Weird Lovecraft: H.P. Lovecraft, Weird Tales, and the American Horror Canon…

“The College of St. Joseph is actively looking for paper proposals that explore the way that Lovecraft and/or Weird Tales helped construct the American horror canon or the American horrific aesthetic.”

“Papers will be presented at the College of St. Joseph’s popular culture conference, held 26-27th October 2012.”

See the PDF for details. Sadly, I see that the deadline for abstacts has passed — it was 15th May. Better initial publicity needed, next time, methinks.

Monstrous Geographies: places and spaces of monstrosity - conference

16 Wednesday May 2012

Posted by asdjfdlkf in Scholarly works

≈ 1 Comment

A new conference on the monstrous. 1st Global Conference on Monstrous Geographies: places and spaces of monstrosity. 18th – 20th July 2012, University of Oxford, UK…

“What is the relationship between the monstrous and the geographic – those places monsters inhabit, but also places that are configured as being monstrous in and of themselves?”

Interesting. Sadly the deadline for papers has long passed, or I might have submitted something cut from my most recent book on Lovecraft and New York City. It looks like it would cost me about £500 to attend. If a kind benefactor would care to donate that amount, I can guarantee a substantial plain English 6,000+ word report soon after the event.
