First is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.acla.org\/acla2009\/\">2009 American Comparative Literature Association Conference<\/a>, which takes place at Harvard March 26-29<\/a>.  This overlaps a bit with the tail end of the <a href=\"www.gdconf.com\/\">2009 Game Developers Conference<\/a>, so I&#8217;ll take off from that a little early to make it back for ACLA.<br \/>\nSecond is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uea.ac.uk\/lit\/eventsnews\/fairytale\/\">Fairy Tale After Angela Carter<\/a> conference at the University of East Anglia in England, which is going on April 22-25.  The eagle-eyed among you will notice that this <i>also<\/i> has an overlap, with <a href=\"http:\/\/web.mit.edu\/comm-forum\/mit6\/\">MIT6<\/a> (April 24-26), so I&#8217;m planning on taking off from the Fairy Tale conference early so I can catch the latter half of MIT6.  Good grief &#150; literally!<br \/>\nWhat&#8217;s fun about these is that the first paper, for ACLA, is titled &#8220;From Horrorism to Terrorism: the New Weird, the New Horror and the War on Terror&#8221;, and the second one is titled &#8220;Fairy Tales in the New Weird, the New Horror and the War on Terror&#8221;.  If anyone out there is concerned about self-plagiarism, don&#8217;t be &#150; they&#8217;re two separate papers with a shared core body of reference research, where the first one will describe how the New Weird and the New Horror have emerged out of a post-9\/11 cultural mentality, and the second will sketch out the basics from the first paper and then drill down into how new fairy tales like Guillermo Del Toro&#8217;s <i>Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth<\/i> fit specifically into that framework.  Now I&#8217;m wondering what I could do to shift the titles around a bit before final publication to show that they&#8217;re linked, but separate.
