The 34th International Conference on the
Fantastic in the Arts
“Fantastic Adaptations, Transformations,
and Audiences”
ICFA 34 will explore the ubiquity of adaptation in all its Fantastic forms. In addition to essays examining our Guests’ work, conference papers might consider specific adaptations, adaptation theory, translation, elision and interpolation, postmodern pastiche, transformation and metafictionality, plagiarism and homage, audience and adaptation, franchise fiction, or the recent resurgence of reboots, retcons, remakes, and reimaginings. Panels might discuss the intersection of fantasy and adaptation, the question of fidelity, the relationship between adaptive creation and target audiences, the impact of fan fiction, the popular reception of adapted classics, the perils of translation, or the challenges of adaptation and multiple media. If everything must adapt or die, then join us in Orlando and put off death for another year.
Final online version of the program is now available with and without abstracts.
Interested in volunteering? Fill out this online survey. Schedules will be distributed before the week before the conference starts. If you have questions or concerns, contact Valorie Ebert, Volunteer Coordinator (vebert AT broward.edu) , or Brie Shannon, Membership and Registration Coordinator (iafareg AT gmail.com).
