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;///
