Proposals for presentations are now being invited for the second annual 
Haunted Futures Conference to be held on the */_29th and 30th of 
October_/* at */_University College Cork, Ireland_/*.

The conference proposes to explore hauntings and ghosts as potent 
staging grounds for radical social change, which, in their dismantling 
of hegemonic relationships to time, provide a means of imagining new 
futures in the late-capitalist Anthropocene, and empowering marginalised 
and exploited identities, both human and otherwise.

In addition to the above rubric, this year’s conference proposes to 
explore /‘The Future of Folklore’/. We welcome papers which consider 
folklore beyond the parameters of historicity and preservation but 
contextualise folklore and folkloric texts as a vital, subversive and 
dynamic language of resistance to systemic injustice.

Proposed topics include, but are not limited to:

/The intersection of folklore and spectrality; Radical Folklore; 
Folklore and Gender; Queer Folklore; Folklore and marginalisation; Urban 
Folklore; Folklore and Ecology; Postcolonial Folklores; Folk Horror; 
Folklore and Subversion; Digital Folklore; Ghosts and ecology; Ghosts 
and time; Queer hauntings; Ghosts and race; Ghosts and gender; Ghosts 
and postcolonialism; Ghosts and the archive;///
