The general CFP for the 2010 (dis)junctions conference asks for papers that “explore the construction, definitions of, and reactions to ‘crisis’ in all its various permutations.” In keeping with that theme, The Post Apocalyptic panel is asking for papers that explore the tropes of post apocalyptic literature and film and how crisis functions within these spaces. Some possible topics include: the planet in crisis, the crisis of panic amongst those facing extinction, the possible violence of the “survival of the fittest” mentality, the various religious texts that explore notions of apocalypse and how this effects those that practice these religions, and the threat of a post-human planet. Of course, any topic not listed here that attempts to pair crisis and post apocalypse is also welcomed.
Abstracts: 250 – 500 words
Deadline: March 5th
E-mail abstracts to: Shannon Tarango at sherv001@ucr.edu
