"Monster Queens" in Literature, Television, and Film
   
   "Monster Queens" may be any female rulers associated with monsters or monstrosity. Whether they be literal monsters, non-human, or humans with monstrous inner natures, thus metaphorical ones (examples of "monster queens" might include Akasha, Queen of the Vampires, in Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned or Bavmorda, in George Lucas's Willow ), monstrous or "monster queens" figure significantly in our literature and popular culture. Topics related to these characters might include the following issues or areas: androgyny, femininity, gender and power, female appropriation of male roles, and ruler-subject relations.

Panel Title: Animals in the Literary West

Conference: Western American Literature Association, Boise, ID

Western American literature is populated with horses, cattle,
buffalo, wolves, bears, coyotes, birds, and snakes--animals whose
presences help define Western narratives and who are essential to the
mythology of the West. This panel seeks presentations that
foreground the roles of animals in their interpretations of texts
about the American West.

For example, this panel is interested in presentations that consider:

Southeastern Writing Center Association 2007 Conference
"Static and (dis)Harmony: Tuning into Writing Centers in the Music City"

February 8-10, 2007
DoubleTree Hotel Downtown - Nashville, TN
Keynote Speaker-Elizabeth Boquet

Music City, U.S.A., serves as the perfect location to discuss the issues of
noise, sound, static, and silence in the writing center. Home of the Grand
Ole Opry, Nashville serves as the center of country music but also supports
jazz, blues, bluegrass, and gospel. Songwriters, publishers, producers,
artists all come to Nashville to learn the business, whether in school,
hands-on in the studio, one-on-one with mentors, or even through observation
in the local bars.
