This session encourages papers that consider concepts of reality,
virtuality, hyperreality and other modes of existence through a range of
theoretical perspectives. Mediation of experience and the significance of
the "real" in contemporary culture could be explored here with attention to
media, technology, mythology or any number of other lenses.

 

Deadline for submissions is December 15, 2001.  Please submit an abstract of up to 300 words along with name, departmental affiliation, institution, email, mailing address and phone number to: lrc@yorku.ca
