Northumbria University Law
School and Department of Social Sciences (in collaboration with the Crime
Studies Network) is pleased to announce a multidisciplinary conference to
celebrate the bicentenary of the first publication of Frankenstein or, The
Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley.
Call for Papers:
Law and literature,
criminology and humanities papers and presentations from established academics
and postgraduate students are particularly welcome. Other disciplines
reflecting medical, scientific, historical, political or social aspects of the
novel or of its many realisations in film, other media and the performing arts
are strongly encouraged.
As well as papers on Frankenstein itself
and related literary works we welcome reflections on the themes of the novel,
such as irresponsible uses of scientific knowledge, the creation of ‘monsters’
through emotional neglect and social stigma, and miscarriages of justice (as in
the case of Shelley’s Justine Moritz).
We will also consider
papers and presentations on related themes if you care to propose them.
Please
send a short (150) word abstract to: bl.frankenstein.conference@northumbria.ac.uk
Closing
date for submissions is 1 February 2018.
