Frankenstein: A
Multidisciplinary Conference 2018
Thursday 14 June 2018
Northumbria University Law School and Department of
Social Sciences (in collaboration with the Crime Studies Network) is pleased to
announce a multidisciplinary conference to celebrate the bicentenary of the
first publication of Frankenstein or, The Modern Prometheus by
Mary Shelley.
Call for Papers:
Law and literature, criminology and humanities
papers and presentations from established academics and postgraduate students
are particularly welcome. Other disciplines reflecting medical, scientific,
historical, political or social aspects of the novel or of its many
realisations in film, other media and the performing arts are strongly
encouraged.
As well as papers on Frankenstein itself
and related literary works we welcome reflections on the themes of the novel,
such as irresponsible uses of scientific knowledge, the creation of ‘monsters’
through emotional neglect and social stigma, and miscarriages of justice (as in
the case of Shelley’s Justine Moritz).
We will also consider papers and presentations on
related themes if you care to propose them.
Please send a short (150) word abstract
Closing date for submissions is 1 February 2018.
