The Literature Group at the University of Hertfordshire are hosting the UK’s only vampire conference (16th-17th April 2010). The aim of the conference is to relate the undead in literature, art, and other media to questions concerning gender, technology, consumption, and social change. It will provide an interdisciplinary forum for the development of innovative and creative research and examine these creatures in all their various manifestations and cultural meanings.
Speakers include:
Dr Catherine Spooner, University of Lancaster (Contemporary Gothic, 2008; The Routledge Companion to Gothic, 2009)
Dr Stacey Abbott, University of Roehampton (Celluloid Vampires, 2007, Angel, 2009)
Marcus Sedgwick, Writer (My Swordhand is Singing; 2006; The Kiss of Death, 2008; Revolver , 2009)
