NONHUMAN NARRATIVES
The Media School, Bournemouth University
Wednesday 27 April 2011: Executive Business Centre, Bournemouth
'Non Human Narratives' is the follow up to the Narrative Research Group's first and highly successful 'Keeping it Real' Symposium. Exploring representations of the non human, the symposium will feature papers on the following subjects:
* Monsters and serial killers
* Animals in the movies
* Issues surrounding environmental and technological change
* The activities of fans of the nonhuman
The symposium is a chance for academics from a wide range of disciplines to come together and discuss their work on key emerging theoretical areas (e.g. critical animal studies, ecocriticism, post humanism and fan studies). Discussion will focus on how these areas illuminate a variety of popular cultural texts and practices including Hollywood movies, graphic novels, true crime narratives, costumes, and artefacts produced by fans.
Members of NRG will be exhibiting their work and there will be an opportunity for delegates to attend a workshop on making props based on animals for the screen.
