CALL FOR PAPERS

MICHAEL ONDAATJE’S “GLOBE OF FEAR”:

REFRACTIONS OF THE FATHER AND THE FATHERLAND

CONFERENCE ON “ASIAN LITERATURES IN MOTION”

ORGANIZED BY RISING ASIA FOUNDATION AND JOURNAL,

ON SEPTEMBER 24-25, 2021, ON Google Meet

Horror films have long held a place in cinematic history as an expression of the monstrous, the un-nameable, and the unknown. They are a powerful point of catharsis in which viewers see their deepest fears played out onscreen, whether the threat is fully embodied or less concretely defined. As a result, grief and loss have always figured heavily in this genre.    

Papers (not to exceed twenty minutes reading time) are invited on any aspect of Milton studies, from close readings of particular works to broader investigations of themes and trends. The conference will be held on the campus of Saint Louis University, in conjunction with the Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies.

Please submit 250-word abstract, along with a brief academic biography to the SLU Symposium website: https://www.smrs-slu.org/submit.html. Proposals for sessions and round-table discussions are also welcome. Deadline for submissions: December 31, 2021.

For this purpose they devised creative strategies like automatic writing, collage, or exquisite corpse to break away from internalized constraints.
