The Gothic, the Abject and the Supernatural: 200 Years of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
October 31- November 1, 2019
Carleton University, Ottawa

After two centuries, the Frankenstein myth—and indeed Gothic horror in general—has proven remarkably resilient, continuing to fascinate the Western cultural imaginary in literature as well as visual art, music, film, drama, women’s studies, cultural studies, and related disciplines. The impact and resonance Mary Shelley's 1818 novel has had, very broadly, across the spectrum of cultural history is fertile ground for a fresh examination that brings these disciplines together. Our conference seeks to foster the creation of knowledge about the extraordinarily influential tale in an environment of multidisciplinary dialogue and engagement. The program committee invites submission on topics including (but not restricted to) areas of inquiry such as the following:

Frankenstein and the Gothic in music, film, visual arts, and architecture;
The Gothic Imagination, conceptions of the Gothic;
Frankenstein as “Other”;
Frankenstein as Christian allegory;
Mary Shelley and her creative milieu;
Frankenstein reception;
Issues relating to robotics, automatons, artificial intelligence;
Related gender issues, then and now;
Frankenstein and disability.

Study Day: Transnationalism and Transculturalism in Canadian Music, 1969-2019
University of Ottawa
School of Music
Friday, 27 September 2019

In the context of celebrations to mark its 50th anniversary, the School of Music at the University of Ottawa will host a study day on Friday, September 27th, 2019. Entitled “Transnationalism in Canadian Music, 1969-2019,” it will provide a forum for exchange and debate around Canadian contemporary classical music and the ways in which it has been impacted by globalization, immigration, displacement, exile, multiculturalism, exoticism and any other phenomena that point to creative dialogues and encounters that transcend Canada’s historically-constituted geographical and cultural borders. Concentrating on music composed in the classical tradition, this study day aims to promote scholarly work on both established and lesser-known Canadian composers and musicians.
