Mythology in Contemporary Culture

On Easter weekend next year I will be speaking at the Popular Culture Association and American Culture Association's conference on Mythology in Contemporary Culture. The conference will be at Boston Marriott Copley Place, Boston, Massachusetts, April 4 - 7, 2007. There will be a four person panel on Mythology and Technology. The panel and lectures are as follows:

Name: Mythology and Technology
Chair: Anais N. Spitzer, Pacifica Graduate Institute

Sacred Cyborgs and 21st Century Goddesses
Katharyn M. Privett, Auburn University

Myth vs. The Machine
Dave Alber, Independent Scholar

Trickster Makes this (Virtual) World: Ludic Myth in Liminal Space
Garrison LeMasters, Catholic University

The Webcam as the “Evil Eye” in Modern Culture
Colette Kavanagh, Pacifica Graduate Institute

I am looking forward to the lecture. Especially, since the material for the lecture will also be a book that will be released in 2008. More on this in future posts.
