In the first session of day 1 of #gothicCrossroads discussing "teaching the gothic" #gothicConference
been on the look out for some of the films/books that will be talked about at next week's #GothicCrossroads #GothicConference at MMU... watched Bones and All this afternoon, and it was not quite what I expected, but still had some great scenes. Wondering if there's a directors cut.
Day 1 of #unquietshores conference is now underway. In session 1 - echoes from antiquity (parallel sessions) I've been learning about the death of Pan in literature around the 1910 period. #gothicConference @hauntedshores.bsky.social @macabredanse.bsky.social
Just bought conference ticket for gothic crossroads at MMU ...spending my annual leave in a lecture hall ...who needs holidays in the sun when you can learn about spooky things? #gothicConference
Just bought remote pass for this so I can view / send nice comments from home. Hopefully more will join in as it's a bit more accessible that way. #gothicConference
