The 29th International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts will be held
March 19-23, 2008, at the Marriott Orlando Airport Hotel in Orlando, Florida.
The focus of ICFA-29 is on the relationship between the sense of wonder embodied
by the sublime and the fantastic in literature, film, and other media. The sheer
magnitude of the universe gives rise to the amazing, the astonishing, the
astounding, the thrilling, and the wondrous. Edmund Burke argued it is “infinity
[that] has a tendency to fill the mind with that sort of delightful horror which
is the most genuine effect and truest test of the sublime.” It then should come
as no surprise that the sublime has been a mainstay in science fiction, fantasy,
horror, and other related fantastic modes. Papers are invited that explore this
topic. In addition, we especially look forward to papers on the work of our
guests:

Guest of Honor: Vernor Vinge (“The Technological Singularity”; A Fire Upon the
Deep)

Guest of Honor: Greer Ilene Gilman (Moonwise, winner of IAFA's Crawford Award)
Guest Scholar: Roger Luckhurst (The Trauma Paradigm and Science Fiction)
As always, we also welcome proposals for individual papers and for academic
sessions and panels on any aspect of the fantastic in any media. We
encourage work from institutionally-affiliated scholars, independent scholars,
international scholars who work in languages other than English, graduate
students, and undergraduate students.
The Jamie Bishop Memorial Award for an Essay Not in English is open to all
members of the IAFA. The IAFA Graduate Student Award is open to all graduate
students presenting papers at the year’s conference. Submission Guidelines
In order to be considered for the 2008 program, your proposal to (1) read a
paper, (2) recruit and chair a paper session, or (3) organize and chair a panel
