'Monday, September 1st
'D*C Academic Mini-Conference Session 3: Philosophical and Religious Themes in
Comics. At this panel, scholars from philosophy and religious studies discuss themes
in comics. Damien Williams (Georgia State University) discusses the nature of title
character's ethical egoism in Mike Carey's Lucifer. J. J. Sylvia argues that, although
their are limitations, one can successfully teach classes in philosophy using comics
about philosophy, such as Van Lente and Dunlavey's Action Philosophers! Megan
Goodwin (UNC Chapel Hill) explores the extent to which Grant Morrison's The
Invisibles is not only a comic about Morrison's belief system–Chaos Magic–but is itself
an act of magic. '

So that should kick a good deal of ass, if I do it right. If anyone could come by and film the procedings? I'd really appreciate it.

Now I just need to put the presentation together.

I think I'm going to pull a ben_templesmith, and wear a suit.

I'm not taking my good video camera down there, but will have my Flip video camera(s). Do you know yet what time on Monday?

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Not yet, unfortunately. When I do, I'll let everyone know.

Woot!
