\n Philosophical Association<\/a> is the main professional
\n organization for philosophers in the United States. Their Web
\n Site<\/a> features
\n an informative "Call for Papers" section in which we came across the
\n following actual
\n call<\/a>:<\/p>\n
\n essays on the theme of the
\n undead.
\n Contributors are welcome to submit
\n abstracts
\n on any topic of philosophical interest that pertains to the theme of
\n the undead. We define "the undead" as that class of corporeal
\n beings who at some point were living creatures, have died, and have come
\n back
\n such that they are not presently "at rest." This would include
\n supernatural beings such as zombies, vampires, mummies, and other reanimated
\n corpses. <\/p>\n\n \n
\n that engage the following perspectives: philosophy of mind; the metaphysics
\n of death; political and social philosophy; ontology and other topics
\n in metaphysics; ethics and bioethics; aesthetics; cultural theory and
\n globalization
\n studies; race and gender; epistemology; philosophy of religion; phenomenology
\n and existentialism. <\/p>\n
\n to, the following: zombie-based critiques of functionalist theories
\n of mind; historical
\n treatments of the undead in philosophy; the films of George Romero,
\n Danny Boyle, and Joss Whedon; the novels of Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker,
\n Anne
\n Rice, Bruce Campbell, and Poppy Z. Brite; critical writing by Julia
\n Kristeva, Jalal Toufic, and Slavoj Zizek.<\/p>\n
\n Harvard in the 70’s who wrote the definitive psuedo-scientific Zombie
\n book (inspired
\n perhaps by many nights of zombie consumption at the Hong Kong) "The Serpent
\n and the Rainbow", later a major motion picture? Last time I saw Wade was
\n on the Rio Napo in Peru 20 years ago. Are you still out there, Wade?)<\/em><\/p>\n
