The Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario, hosts the Greenscapes Conference 2009, October 1-3. Deadline for paper proposals is January 5. Papers are invited that “explore landscapes of myth and imagination in real and virtual sites, literary texts, images, and installations” on the following topics:
• Landscapes of allusion (texts, myths, folktales, legends)
• Sacred and Secular Utopias
• Profane imagination: ruin, decay and social transgression
• Gardens of the ‘first time’: origin myths and social legends
• Dream landscapes: fear, desire, and exploring the unconscious
Definitely an intriguing conference theme.
