Special Session at S014 SAMLA conference (Atlanta)
In today's culture, it's almost impossible to avoid "monsters." Straight from mythology and legend, these fantastic creatures traipse across our television screens and the pages of our books. Over centuries and across cultures, the inhuman have represented numerous cultural fears and, in more recent times, desires. This panel will explore the literal monsters--whether they be mythological, extraterrestrial, or man-made--that populate fiction and film, delving into the cultural, psychological and/or theoretical implications.
Please submit a 250-300 word abstract, a brief bio, and any A/V needs by May 20, 2014 to Lisa Wenger Bro, Middle Georgia State College, at lisa.bro@mga.edu.

Popular Preternaturaliana was brought to life in May 2013 and serves as the official site of the Monsters & the Monstrous Area of NEPCA. We are sponsored by the Northeast Alliance for Scholarship on the Fantastic and hosted by the Association for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture. We hope to provide a resource for further study and debate of the preternatural wherever, whenever, and however it may appear.
