CFP: Contemporary Gothic Science Fiction (11/31/2007; collection)

Papers are sought for an uncontracted critical collection exploring gothic
traces in science fiction film and text since 1980. 'Gothic science
fiction' is a hybrid genre, even arguably oxymoronic: as Fred Botting
notes, unlike 'gothic', science fiction usually projects its contemporary
anxieties onto the future rather than the past. Recent forms of science
fiction like alternative history 'steampunk' may unsettle this
contradiction. Papers are invited which explore or challenge this hybrid
category.

ever. This session welcomes abstracts or completed essays on any topic
related to the fictional depiction of contemporary British masculinity.
Issues include, but are certainly not limited to:

The earlier culture will become a heap of rubble and finally a heap of
ashes; yet, over the ashes, spirits will hover.
