Babe!.. i jedan simpozij
|
Kako sam se prijavila na jedno trideset i dvije različite mailing liste od kad sam ovdje, mailbox mi izdiše pod teretom kojekakvih bizarnih mailova i poziva na konferencije. So, ako ima neki academic out there specijaliziran za Harryja Pottera... Baš me zanima kako bi se taj proveo da pokuša aplicirati na mjesto asistenta pri Sveučilištu u Zagrebu. I... koje je vaše polje interesa? Harry Potter. Mhm? Preciznije, odnos čarobnjačke zajednice prema ekološkim pitanjima. Ne znam jedino trebam li sad urlikati od oduševljenja ili od užasa nad ovim specifičnim propuhom unutar akademske zajednice. CALL FOR PROPOSALS Prophecy 2007 is an academic symposium about the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. We are seeking proposals for a variety of educational programming, including presentations, discussion panels, round tables, workshops and poster sessions addressing topics relevant to the books and/or the fan community. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - LITERATURE & MEDIA STUDIES Character analyses, symbolism, and literary criticism; comparisons between the Harry Potter books, their contemporaries and classic children's literature. Critical responses to the Harry Potter franchise (books, movies, music and merchandise) as a media and cultural phenomenon. - SCIENCE Looking at the ways science manifests itself in the Harry Potter series: the genetics of magic, the wizarding community's relation to ecology, the physics of flying and Apparating, and the chemistry of potions and alchemy. - EDUCATION & CREATIVITY Exploring education within the books, and teaching Harry Potter in the classroom. Learning about and experimenting with creative writing and art. - ARTS, HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCIENCES Examining philosophical and religious themes, parallels and elements within the books. Examining the Wizarding world and its culture, policies, worldview and behaviour through the disciplines of psychology, political science and anthropology. - FANDOM CULTURE & EXPERIENCE Looking at the fandom as a community with its own jargon, jokes, news, activities and events; the past and future of the Harry Potter fandom: how it has evolved and its future. Analyses of the fanfiction and fanart phenomena: their value as creative fiction/art; sexuality, romance and feminism within fanworks; intellectual property/copyright issues. All proposals must be submitted by February 1st, 2007.
