2017: A Clarke Odyssey – A Conference Marking the Centenary of Sir Arthur C. Clarke
Canterbury Christ Church University is hosting a conference to mark the centenary of Sir Arthur C. Clarke
2017: A Clarke Odyssey
A Conference Marking the Centenary of Sir Arthur C. Clarke
Canterbury Christ Church University, Canterbury, UK
Saturday 9 December 2017
Keynote Speakers:
Stephen Baxter
Professor Charlotte Sleigh (University of Kent)
Sir Arthur C. Clarke is one of the most important British sf writers of the twentieth century – novelist, short-story writer, scriptwriter, science populariser, fan, presenter of documentaries on the paranormal, proposer of the uses of the geosynchronous orbit and philanthropist.
We want to celebrate his life, work and influence on science fiction, science and beyond.
Professor Charlotte Sleigh will open proceedings by looking at Clarke as an sf fan in the interwar years in London and how this intersected with his interest in science and its communication. Award-winning author Stephen Baxter will round out the event with an examination of Clarke’s non-fiction and how this positioned him as a significant public figure.
Our international conference speakers will address novels such as Childhood’s End, 2001: A Space Odyssey (book and film) and Imperial Earth, looking as issues such as transhumanism, Buddhism, terraforming and sexual politics. They will make connections to sf writers including Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, Olaf Stapledon and Liu Cixin, plus Star Trek. We will also discuss the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
Cost: Waged: £65
Unwaged and students £50

CFP: Animation and the Comic Book Symposium
A one-day research symposium hosted by Canterbury Christ Church University that will take place as part of Canterbury Anifest.
Friday 30th September 2016, Augustine House, Canterbury Christ Church University
Keynote Speaker confirmed: Professor Paul Wells
The animated film and comic book have a long-established relationship that features myriad forms of adaptation, remediation, and cross media synergy. This phenomena is global in nature, as we consider the work of Manga/Anime pioneer Osamu Tezuka, the adaptations of Herge’s Tintin, and the ongoing popularity of the U.S. Superhero ‘Saturday morning’ cartoon or feature-length adaptation. Furthermore, digital media has enabled different forms of hybridity between animation and the comic book to flourish in recent years in the guise of the ‘motion comic’ and ‘motion book’.
For this one-day symposium, we are inviting proposals for twenty-minute papers and practice-based research presentations that reflect upon the ongoing and evolving relationship between animation and the comic book. We also actively encourage proposals from interested postgraduate researchers.
Topics may include, but are not limited to:
- The shared history of animation and comics
- Comic book adaptation
- Animation adaptation
- Augmentation and hybridity
- Repurposing and remediation
- Saturday morning superhero cartoons
- Digital remediation and new forms of animated comics
- Professional and amateur remediation of animation and comic book characters
- Cross-media and Transmedia
- Joint animation and comic book business models
- Collaborative interactions
To submit a proposal, send an abstract (~250 words) and a short biographical note (~100 words) to craig.smith@canterbury.ac.uk, indicating in the email Subject Line: “Submission – Animation and the Comic Book Symposium”.
Deadline for abstract submission is 3 August 2016.
