CfP for ICFA-33

In his seminal article on Beowulf, J.R.R. Tolkien describes the three monsters of the poem as “essential, fundamentally allied to the underlying ideas of the poem.” The Fantastic has many similarly integral monsters and monstrosities. But what do these monsters mean? How does the monstrous signify? The Monstrous Fantastic will explore the many creative and cultural constructions of monstrosity in the arts from monsters of ancient times to monsters of the present and future. Conference participants may propose papers, propose and organize panel discussions, give readings, or participate in other ways. We encourage papers on our honored guests. Download the call for proposals today! Submit by October 31st!
