To what degree do they still perpetuate the images of destruction established since Greek mythologies? Are 19th century Darwinian ideas of a survival creature as a successful monster still prevalent in contemporary literature? In what ways do they reflect our contemporary attitudes to both the non human and the inhuman. Are "promising monsters", as Donna Haraway called them in one of her earlier works, visible in contemporary texts? Although this conference will focus primarily on literature, proposals discussing cinematographic narratives and anthropological, scientific or political discourses within a wider literary perspective will be considered. We invite papers investigating issues relating to the following themes across the spectrum of major European literatures: - chimeras and mutants Organiser: Lucile Desblache, Roehampton University. Participation from the CNRS Paris III Censier (Anne Simon) and the British Comparative Literature Association (Karen Seago).
