Dear Collette,
Did you manage to find enough people for this panel? Did you submit a proposal? I'd be happy to send an abstract about Mae Nak in Thailand, if there is still space.
Regards,

Subject: The Female Gothic in East and South East Asia Popular Culture - call for participants
While the term "female gothic" was coined in 1977 by Ellen Moers in relation to female writers, it has come to be understood in a wider sense. According to Davidson (2009: 85), it refers to " specifically female terrors" and is located within the domestic. This panel explores such terrors across East and South East Asian Popular culture: film, video games, music, anime, manga … and reflects on what it tells us about the lived reality of contemporary git=rls and women across the region.
I'm sorry this is really last minute, but I've been very ill.
