Uncanny Media 2008 Reflections
by Michael Arnzen ~ September 21st, 2008.Conference reports and reflections from the Uncanny Media conference in Utrecht, Netherlands (2008) are starting to pop up online. Since it relates to my work on The Popular Uncanny, I was very interested in attending this event, but was unable to, so I’m seeking as many discussions and reports from the conference as possible online — and I’m especially keen on finding posted conference papers and related scholarship by the scholars in attendance.
I’ll keep updating this post as I collect what I discover here:
- Isabella van Elferen (Utrecht University)– who coordinated the Uncanny Media conference — posts her report on the conference’s website (and hints that a sequel to the event may be fomenting).
- Ilse Marie Bussing (University of Edinburgh) posts her con report at The Gothic Imagination and links to entertaining (but bandwidth-soaking) event photos by LeAnne Kline.
- Steen Christiansen (Aalborg University, Denmark) kindly shares his conference paper, “David Bowie’s Hauntology” on his great weblog, New Mappings.
- BLIK magazine gives an overview of their coverage of the event (the mag itself is not online)
