Conference Details and Call for Papers
Hosted by Falmouth University, and co-sponsored by Northeastern University, the Haunted Modernities conference will be held in Cornwall on our Falmouth Campus, which is set in lush tropical gardens a few minutes’ walk from its picturesque town and beaches.
This conference explores haunted modernities and spectral futures of all sorts. Looking back to the past as a haunted space and forward to the ‘spectres’ of the future, we want ‘Haunted Modernities’ to be indicative of wide open spaces and fruitful intersections in scholarship and practice. Whether work is hyper-local, global, or interstellar we welcome imaginative, creative, ethical, and diverse discussions from all disciplines and subject areas. As well as traditional papers, creative practice work is also invited in whatever form - written, film, audio, performance, exhibitions etc.
