My Wiscon schedule
Finalized schedules are up, whoo!
The Xenogenesis Panel
Sat, 1:00-2:15 pm
Moderator: Janet M. Lafler, Scott E. Gould, ANONYMOUS, Victoria Janssen, Oyceter
Octavia Butler's groundbreaking Lilith's Brood trilogy (Xenogenesis) explores many issues, in both science and social realms. The exploration of genetic engineering and medical enhancements in sexual and reproductive technology is remarkably prescient. These books also address sexism and racism, among other issues.
(I am really looking forward to this. I should remember to check out more in-depth looks at an author or a work for panels, and I should probably also suggest ones based on anime/manga too.)
Cultural Appropriation: The View From Outside the West
Sat, 4:00-5:15 pm
Moderator: Daniel José Older, Zen Cho, Na'amen Gobert Tilahun, Oyceter
Let's discuss cultural appropriation from a more global perspective, from people who belong to non-dominant cultures (i.e., not the US, Canada, Western Europe, or Australia) and cultures for which Western culture is a colonizing influence. From the outside, a culture tends to be perceived as monolithic, whereas from the inside it is usually more fractured. How does this affect our views of cultural appropriation?
(Not actually sure where this one is going to go... Will be interesting to see how the mod wants to define stuff. I was noodling a bit with hyphenates borrowing from sourcelander things.)
Anime & Manga 101
Sun, 1:00-2:15 pm
Moderator: Andrea Horbinski, David Emerson, Jackie Lee, Megan, Oyceter
Do you feel like you might like anime & manga, but feel overwhelmed by the hundreds of titles and some of the terminology? Come to this panel prepared with your storytelling likes/dislikes and a few questions, and allow our panelists to give you advice and recommendations.
(And this is my panel for fun and relaxation! Hopefully me being a few years out of date will not be too detrimental.)
