The International Congress of Fantastic Genre, Audiovisuals and New Technologies is an activity of scientific and academic divulgation that is part of Elche International Fantastic Film Festival – FANTAELX, and which has the collaboration of the Miguel Hernández University.
Its mission is to transmit research studies in all the different thematic lines of the Fantastic Genre, covering all its possible variants and platforms: cinema, television, theater, literature, comics, videogames, virtual reality, plastic arts, etc.
WAYS OF PARTICIPATION:
OPTION 1:
The summaries of the Communications will be sent following the main thematic line of the new edition of the Congress and the Festival:
The retrofantastic, in terms of the aesthetic and narrative evocation of the past, through these four possible variations:
1. Research and theoretical reflection around the “retro” concept and the imagined places of the past, from its interconnection with the fantastic in its various forms of expression: studies, trends, movements, works and prominent authors.
2. The “retro” concept in the field of the fantastic, and its connection with the different models of audiovisual culture and new technologies: its connection with cinema, television series, comics, video games, virtual reality, theater, plastic arts, etc.
3. Research and theoretical reflection on the “retro” movement and style through its various themes and subgenres in the fantastic, referring to concepts such as tecnonostalgia, retrogaming, pulp culture, etc., in the different cultural and technological models, and from the perspective of study of currents (works, prominent authors, etc.) and subgenres, such as retrofuturism, steampunk, dieselpunk, weird fiction, etc.
4. The “retro” perspective as a tool for communication, reflection or social, historical and political analysis from audiovisual fiction and the fantastic. A look that crosses terms referring to the past and its re-readings such as collective memory, retroplace, interactive past, etc., with the productions of the genre itself.
Once the Communication has been accepted, the Communicators must pay a registration fee of 89$ (75€) each author, following the instructions that will be sent to them via email. The fee includes:
1) Presentation of the Communication in the Congress (online or in person).
2) Certificate of Communication and Assistance.
3) Academic publication with book chapter in Spanish and paper with ISBN.
4) Delivery of the paper book.
The presentation of the Communication in the Congress won’t be mandatory. In case of not attending the event as a speaker, both in person and online, the Communication will also appear in the edition of the paper book with ISBN.
The publication of the chapter in the paper book with ISBN must be done in Spanish, and using the Word template available in the writing rules.
OPTION 2:
The abstracts of the Communications will follow the generic thematic line of the Congress:
The Fantastic Gender and its possible interconnection with the different platforms of the culture, the audiovisual and the new technologies, through these four possible variations:
1. The investigation and the theoretical reflection on the Fantastic Gender in its diverse modalities of expression: studies, currents, movements, works and outstanding authors.
2. The Fantastic Genre and its interconnection with the different models of audiovisual culture and new technologies: the hybrid character of the fantastic with cinema, comics, videogames, virtual reality, plastic arts, etc.
3. Possible communication and/or teaching methodologies and tools through platforms related to the Fantastic Gender.
4. The fantastic in the political context: approaches and studies where the fantastic establishes a discourse connected with social debate, collectivity and political action.
Once the Communication has been accepted, the Communicators must pay a registration fee of 89$ (75€) each author, following the instructions that will be sent to them via email. The fee includes:
1) Presentation of the Communication in the Congress (online or in person).
2) Certificate of Communication and Assistance.
3) Academic publication with an English-language digital book chapter with ISBN (it will be a different ISBN from the paper book of Option 1, since this second compilation of texts in English will compose the material for a different book).
The presentation of the Communication in the Congress won’t be mandatory. In case of not attending the event as a speaker, both in person and online, the Communication will also appear in the edition of the digital book with ISBN, that will be able to be downloaded free of charge from the Publications section of our website.
The publication of the chapter in the digital book with ISBN must be done necessarily in English-language, and using the Word template available in the writing rules. It is recommended and preferable not to use automatic translation software into English, as it detracts from the content and form of the text. In case of detecting this type of translation, the Editorial Committee will return the text for correction to the authors, before blind peer review.
Authors who wish to participate simultaneously in the two modalities (Option 1 and Option 2), to include their Communication or their Communications in the edition of both books (paper publication in Spanish and digital publication in English), may do so:
Sending independently an email with the proposal for Communication for Option 1, and another email with the proposal for Communication for Option 2.
Likewise, each author must pay the two registration fees of 89$ (75€) of each modality, following the instructions that will be sent to them by email.
