Interfictions Zero: The Virtual Anthology of Interstitial Writing and Original Essays / Sept 10, 2010

updated: 
Wednesday, July 7, 2010 - 9:23pm
Interstitial Arts Foundation

Interfictions Zero: The Virtual Anthology of Interstitial Writing and Original Essays, to be edited by Delia Sherman and Helen Pilinovsky, will be published online by the Interstitial Arts Foundation in late 2010.

What Is Interstitial Writing?
Interstitial writing breaks rules, ignores boundaries, cross-pollinates the fields of literature, and helps them grow and develop. It's about working between, across, through, and at the edges and borders of literary genres. It occurs in the cracks between other movements, terms, and definitions. Interstitiality isn't a genre, but many interstitial pieces serve as the seeds of new genres and sub-genres.

Papers for a panel on digital adaptation during the EGO Conference Humanities in the Digital Age
October 22-23, 2010, Macomb, Illinois
EGO site: http://www.wiu.edu/ego/conference/2010/

Adaptations have long taken advantage of emergent forms to extend, re-tell, and appropriate previous literary works. The very nature of adaptations is to re-interpret previous texts into new iterations, often in the guise of these emergent forms, whether the printed book, the novel, films, or the internet. This panel seeks to consider the manifestation of adaptations in digital forms and to pose questions such as:

Post-War Serbian Film—2011 SCMS Panel in New Orleans (03/10-03/13)

updated: 
Wednesday, July 7, 2010 - 11:41am
Zoran Samardzija, Columbia College Chicago; Steven Shaviro, Wayne State University

This panel explores Serbian Film post-1999 and the NATO bombings that marked the end to a decade of wars throughout the former Yugoslavia. Since then, Serbian films may not have received the same international attention as those released during the wars, perhaps because the former Yugoslav Republics and the Balkans no longer hold the same perverse fascination in the Western imaginary. Yet, the last decade has produced the most disturbing and challenging films since the Yugoslav "Black Wave" cinemas of the 1960s. Prospective panelists are invited to submit proposals on recent Serbian film in relation to topics including but not limited to:

· The NATO bombings

· The overthrow of Slobodan Milošević and his subsequent Hague trial
