Session Description
1818 marks the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. To honor Shelley’s enduring novel, and to compliment the critical panel on the literature and culture of 1818, this roundtable welcomes creative work, in any genre, on monsters or the idea of monstrosity. The thematic possibilities are limitless but include: racial, cultural, sexual, and/or class alterity; animals, humans, and/or the trans-human; children, adolescents, and/or adults; or systemic monstrosities in economics, education, industrialism, law, medicine, politics, religion, and/or war. In the interest of including as many voices and as possible, participants will be asked to limit presentations of original creative work to 10 minutes.
