1 The Gathering

Events•Wis/Cap• Friday, 2:00–5:30 p.m.

Once again, we'll kick off [[WisCon]] with a fun event on Friday afternoon from 2:30–5pm. The Gathering gives us a chance to recover from our travels, catch up with our farflung friends, and get into the groove that is Wiscon. You bring the friends, we'll bring coffee, tea, and cookies and lots of fun booths.
Get a word temporarily tattooed on your body. Make a WisCon memory book for panel notes and author autographs. Have a custom button made of your favorite slogan or a picture of your puppy. Get sage advice from our numerology readers, runes readers, palm readers, and tarot readers. Decompress by throwing a beanbag. Wear a silly balloon hat. Have your hair braided. Make a necklace or knotted string lanyard for your namebadge. Shop the makeover racks for hand–me–downs with an attitude. Make a postcard and send it to a friend from the con. Relax in the sensual booth with a backrub or scalp tingler. And browse the Tiptree Auction preview booth to scout out must–have items from the fabulous genre collection.
Booths and refreshments will cost a nominal fee as a fundraiser for [[Broad Universe]] and the [[Carl Brandon Society]]. This year, proceeds from the makeover booth will be donated to the [[Laurie J. Marks]] Emergency Medical Fund. If you have kicky hand–me–downs you'd like to donate, bring them on Friday. For questions, contact Broad Universe at info@broaduniverse.org.

17A Harry Potter and Pamela Dean's Tam Lim

Academic Papers•Senate A• Saturday, 8:30–9:45 a.m.

The Female Power of Learning and Literature in [[Pamela Dean]]'s [[Tam Lin]]
Pamela Dean's Tam Lin reinterprets the Scottish ballad and thereby capitalizes on one of the most active female protagonists in traditional fairy tales. [[Janet Carter]] negotiates with the primarily male–dominated canon and profession of English literature. Ultimately, Carter's love for literature and learning, as well as her creative abilities, are what save her lover's soul, as well as her own.

Adaptations of Natural Philosophy in [[Harry Potter]] Rowling has incorporated adaptations of traditional characters into her work, such as Cerberus, centaurs, unicorns, and ghosts; these adaptations have been important for readers as they provide connections between Harry Potter and the tradition of mythical elements upon which his stories are built. More interesting, however, is the way in which Rowling has adapted Science––natural philosophy––to accommodate her characters and their activities. In doing so, Rowling has assumed power over a subject in which men have traditionally had authority.

[[Karley Adney]], [[Kelley C. Wezner]]

Science•Caucus Room• Saturday, 10:00–11:15 a.m.

Fandom and Feminism•Senate A• Saturday, 10:00–11:15 a.m.

Wiscon is wonderful, but it's once a year, and it's in Wisconsin. Do you want to have a feminist SF convention in your area? Or even just get some feminist programming going on at your local conventions? Let's talk about it and see what sorts of trouble we can stir up!

25 Academic Fans/Fannish Academics

Academia•Capitol B• Saturday, 10:00–11:15 a.m.

One of the greatest things about WisCon is the space it creates for academic culture and fan culture to intersect. This panel would be an(other) opportunity to talk about that intersection; a few topics we might address are: the experience of being an academic at WisCon; balancing being an academic and being a fan; the perception of academia in fandom and vice versa; ways in which fans can bring their love for genre fiction into academia without feeling like grubby hooligans; how to talk about genre fiction with both passion and rigor.

M: [[Susan Harris]]

26 Whither the Female Hero

Science Fiction•University A• Saturday, 10:00–11:15 a.m.

[[S.L. Viehl]], [[Syne Mitchell]], and [[Kristine Smith]] are three new women SF writers whose female protagonists are almost–interchangeable versions of Gibson's [[Cayce Pollard]] ([[Pattern Recognition]]): they're all girls with a gift, an attitude, big problems, the need to save the world, an ongoing love interest, and a family appended. Let's discuss.

M: [[Kristine Smith]]

Readings•Conference Room 2• Saturday, 10:00–11:15 a.m.

31 Papers on the Guests of Honour: [[Eleanor Arnarson]] and [[Patricia McKillip]]

Academic Papers•629• Saturday, 10:00–11:15 a.m.

"The Mother of All Witches: Baba Yaga and Brume in Patricia McKillip's In the Forests of Serre" In this book Patricia McKillip uses the tropes associated with the Russian witch Baba Yaga as qualities that she attributes to her character, Brume. Like Baba Yaga, Brume is a living genus locci for the tropes that attach themselves to the archetype of "the witch in the forest." In both characters, there is a back–and–forth between their status as named figures and their overriding qualities as archetypes. McKillip uses Brume as a synecdoche for the magic of the fairy tale, which remains static from tale to tale, and is reborn anew with each telling.

"Trust & Betrayal in Eleanor Arnason's Ring of Swords" A work–in–progress examination of Ring of Swords. I'm interested in ways that the story is mirrored in what I see as the reader's experience in reading this novel particularly in relation to trust and betrayal which many years ago Arnarson told me was the theme of the book (she probably doesn't remember this).


Saturday, 11:15 a.m.–1:00 p.m.

31A Tiptree Bake Sale

Events•627• Saturday, 11:15 a.m.–5:15 p.m.

If you'd like to prepare some baked goods or other treats for the bake sale, please send a message to WisCon (bakesale@sf3.org) and we will tell you where to bring your goodies. Baked goods can be purchased by––the––plate at the Tiptree Bake Sale on Saturday, 11:30 a.m. (during the lunch break). All proceeds are donated to the Tiptree Award. Yum!

M: [[Julie Humphries]]

Saturday, 1:00–2:15 p.m.

33 Papers on one Current and one Past Guest of Honour: [[Patricia McKillip]] & [[Pamela Sargent]]

Academic Papers•Caucus Room• Saturday, 1:00–2:15 p.m.

"Pamela Sargent and Patriarchy" I will examine Sargent's dystopian novel, [[The Shore of Women]], in comparison to the genre tenets of 1970s feminist utopian novels. I argue that Shore's society practices these tenets on a surface level, yet in many ways reproduces patriarchal norms with a matriarchal face. I will further argue that the text interrogates whether the dominance and subjugation of one group is actually better than the oppression of a previous regime, how to deal with aggression in men and women, and whether the ways in which Western society has traditionally defined men and women remain valid.

"A Snow Queen for the Modern Woman: Feminist Re/Visions of Fairy Tales, Myths, and Utopias." As part of the movement toward gender equality, the portrayal of women in literature and folklore has been closely examined in the last 20 years. This close scrutiny has extended into children's fairytales. In order to counteract the gender stereotypes portrayed in traditional fairytales, scholars have created stories that negate traditional gender roles and expectations. An excellent example of this is the short story The Snow Queen, by Patricia McKillip.


36 Characters Are People, Too

Writing: The Art•Wisconsin• Saturday, 1:00–2:15 p.m.

What are the traits that really bring characters to life? Usually it's not their heroics, but their vulnerability. Let's explore the human weaknesses that help readers identify with protagonists. How are convincing characters constructed? Is convincing the same thing as realistic? What makes people love or hate a character?

M: Kristine Smith

37 Community: The Darker Side

Political, Economic, and Social Issues•Capitol A• Saturday, 1:00–2:15 p.m.

Fans tend to speak of community with romanticism bordering on reverence. Granted, community is what many of us lack in our urban, 21st––century existences. There are things that community can give us that we desperately need: fellowship, a social safety net, a feeling of belonging, a set of values with which to structure our lives, a sense of continuity with the past and future. But when people leave small towns and head for the big city, it's often for very good reasons. Communities enforce norms (sometimes very strictly), exclude or scapegoat people, conflict with the desire for privacy, and sometimes erupt in feuds. And being a member of a community, even a strong and healthy one, even the "right" community for a particular person, may not meet all of that person's needs. What are some of the drawbacks of community? How can we recognize these drawbacks as we build community? What do we expect from community that it can't deliver?


39 [[Karen Axness Memorial panel]] (see [[Karen Axness]])

Feminism and Women•University A• Saturday, 1:00–2:15 p.m.

Panel members discuss the latest books by female SF and fantasy authors, the emphasis being on new female authors in these fields.

45 The Interstitial Arts Foundation, one year later

Science Fiction and Fantasy•Senate B• Saturday, 2:30–3:45 p.m.

Founded just a year ago, and launched at a rousing panel at last year's Wiscon, this group dedicated to breaking down genre barriers in the arts has come a long way, with a new website, discussion board and the passion of many writers and readers! Get the basics and hear the latest from the group's founders and movers. (Delia Sherman, Midori Snyder, Terri Windling, Kelly Link, Gavin Grant, Susan B. Westbrook, Ellen Kushner, Ellen Klages, Christopher Barzak, Kristin Livdahl, Alan Deniro, Barth Anderson, Carolyn M. Dunn, Heinz Insu Fenkl, Theodora Goss, Pat O'Connor)

M: [[Delia Sherman]], [[Ellen Kushner]]

48 Journals and [[Blogs]] –––threat or menace?

Writing: The Art•Capitol B• Saturday, 2:30–3:45 p.m.

With the proliferation of on––line journals, are writers being "used up" by keeping their blog up to date? Is it a writing tool, or a way of avoiding working on your writing projects? Or are the networking and feedback possibilities worth the time?


49 Switch–Hitting a Home Run: Writing Credible Characters of the "Opposite Sex"

Writing: The Art•University A• Saturday, 2:30–3:45 p.m.

Is it possible for a male author to write strong, credible female characters (and vice versa)? Why or why not? What makes a character credible and satisfying, gender of character and/or writer aside? Is there something particular about “switch hitting” that’s more difficult to get right? Is there a more––or––less universal baseline for what makes a character credible and satisfying, or is it totally idiosyncratic? What about Mike Resnick’s books Men Writing Science Fiction as Women and Women Writing Science Fiction as Men as test cases?


50 Snazzitude!

Readings•Conference Room 2• Saturday, 2:30–3:45 p.m.


52 Technologies and Utopias

Academic Papers•Conference Room 5• Saturday, 2:30–3:45 p.m.

"I'd Rather be a Cyborg than a Goddess: Technology, Spirituality and Hope" This paper will explore crucial intersections between technology and spirituality in The Gate to Women's Country; He, She and It and The Fifth Sacred Thing. It will highlight key issues about feminist investments in modern and postmodern epistemologies. In so doing, it will suggest that science fiction as a genre is more appropriate for the imagining of social transformation than academic theory. The central argument is that as a narrative genre, sf can tolerate paradox and maintain tension without lapsing into the dualisms to which even the most resolutely postmodern theory is prone.

"Making a Utopia: Ursula Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness" How does one create a world where there is no word for war? In Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness, perpetual winter and a lack of nationalism help to create this world. In the eyes of an observer, this could be seen as a perfect place, save for the unusual sexual cycle of its still very human inhabitants. Through this novel, Le Guin posits that without reliance upon gender roles and their influence upon hierarchies, a better place, even if not a utopia, could be created.

57 [[Polyamory]] in SF/F: where is it?

Gender And Sexuality•Senate A• Saturday, 4:00–5:15 p.m.

SF/F are perfect vehicles for exploring "alternative" sexualities and how they might play out in different types of societies. How much has polyamory been explored in SF/F, particularly long––term relationships, and what approach did the authors take? Or has polyamory been treated only as titillation? Examples of polyamory that might be discussed are [[Marion Zimmer Bradley]]'s Darkover books (The Forbidden Tower), [[Octavia Butler]]'s Dawn and its sequels, [[Vonda McIntyre]]'s [[Starfarers]] trilogy, [[Laurell K. Hamilton]]'s Anita Blake series, and Phil Folgio's XXXenophile comic.

M: [[Magenta Griffith]]

60 Why Are Fight Scenes So Cheesy?

Science Fiction and Fantasy•Capitol B• Saturday, 4:00–5:15 p.m.

In science fiction and fantasy there are a lot of really lousy fight scenes, both in the written field and in the media. Why are fight scenes included at all? Who instigates them? What purposes do they serve in the plot? Women writers may be more likely to ask such questions than men, and not all female warriors are Red Sonya–––i.e., mere counterparts of their respective Conans. What does fighting mean to a female protagonist? When does she feel it necessary? What does she do when it's forced on her? What alternatives does she explore, given the time? How does killing affect her character development?


62 Big Jumps and Long Tomorrows

66 Constructed Languages & Immortality and the Female Body in Fantasy Film

Academic Papers•623• Saturday, 4:00–5:15 p.m.

"Constructed Languages" I will examine the grammatical categories and linguistic postulates in the languages created for these texts as well as the metaphors woven into the text. I will examine the Langugage of Gifts in Arnason's A Woman of the Iron People, the atevi language from CJ Cherryh's Foreigner series, the language of the Kesh in Ursula LeGuin's [[Always Coming Home]], Karhidish in LeGuin's Left Hand of Darkness, and Láadan from Suzette Elgin's [[Native Tongue]] series.

"Whatever Can Die is Beautiful: Immortality and the Female Body in Fantasy Film" Immortality provides a key dilemma for characters in The Last Unicorn and The Lord of the Rings series , but here, in contrast to much in popular culture, immortality is seen as a burden or a flaw, not a goal. What is especially interesting about these films is that both characters are female. The implications of immortality–or, more specifically, mortality–in these films are inextricably bound up with these women's bodies, and the gaze that we (spectators) and other characters direct at them.

94 Androgyny & SF Techniques in the Mainstream

Academic Papers•Conference Room 5• Sunday, 10:00–11:15 a.m.

"Gender mutation and Androgyny in Science Fiction" Feminist science fiction is often concerned with the portrayal of gender roles. One way to explore gender roles is to create a completely androgenic society or to utilize the concept of gender role reversal. Authors making use of one of this techniques include Ursula Le Guin in Left Hand of Darkness, Joanna Russ in The Female Man, Angela Carter in The Passion of New Eve, and Octavia Butler in Bloodchild. This paper explores the approaches taken to gender by these authors and others, and how their approaches affect the readers' perceptions of gender.

"Out of the Ghetto: SF Techniques in the Mainstream" Well worth exploring––but possibly overlooked––two fascinting recent novels: an alternate history: 1000 White Women, by Jim Fergus, and the magical realism in The Life of Pi by Yann Martel.

98 Star Trek & Mathematics

Academic Papers•Senate A• Sunday, 1:00–2:15 p.m.

"From Miniskirts to the Bun of Steel: The Changing Role of Women in the Star Trek Franchise" While present on the bridge of the Starship, women in the original Star Trek were relegated to secondary roles without any power. Throughout the three following series the role of women has expanded to include doctors, security officers, engineers, and starship captains. I will examine these changes throughout Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. I will consider how and why the progress was made, as well as what problems remain.

"Sex Differences in Mathematics Performance Redeaux" Some years ago I presented research on this topic at WisCon. I would like to summarize the field, present research which has occured since and examine interventions that might eliminate sex differences in performance on standardized tests.


101 A Kiss is Still A Kiss

Science Fiction and Fantasy•Capitol A• Sunday, 1:00–2:15 p.m.

Harlequin's Luna line is fantasy with romantic elements, and Tor is producing a new line of paranormal romances. Bujold and Asaro (the current president of SFWA) recently collaborated with well––known romance authors on the anthology Irresistible Forces. Is romance the new hot thing in SF/F publishing? And what does this mean for women writers and readers? Will either genre gain new crossover readers?

103 Movements and Manifestoes

Writing: The Art•University A• Sunday, 1:00–2:15 p.m.

From Impressionism to Interstitiality, from Dada to the New Weird, from the New Wave to the Amorphous Blobs, from Cyberpunk to uh, post–Cyberpunk. What purposes do artistic and literary movements serve? Can you have a movement without a manifesto, or vice versa? What recent movements have there been in speculative fiction, and what do people think of them? Is "the field" headed in any particular direction or set of directions? Are movements and manifestoes important to readers as well as to the writers involved with them?

Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender readers and writers have come a long way over the past decade. So much so that we "retired" the "GBLT 101" panel several Wiscons back. However, that was then and this is now. What is going on with speculative fiction writing for and about GLBT people? Sponsored by a loose coalition of Gaylaxian members.

109 Faith, Feminism, and Fantasy

Spirituality•Senate A• Sunday, 2:30–3:45 p.m.

While many feminists have embraced earth––centered and Goddess spirituality, there are still quite a few of us in the fold of the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism and Islam). How do we reconcile our feminism with monotheistic religious structures that have often been seen as patriarchal? As "People of the Book," how do we find our faith informing our writing or reading of SF/F; and conversely, as SF/F writers and readers, how do we find our reading of the Book informed by our immersion in speculative fiction? (Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggeman has said that "The speech of God is first about an alternative future." Is God an SF writer?) How does the intersection of these three strands in our lives inform our politics?

M: Susan Palwick

Our food system is stuck in the industrial revolution, to the detriment of farmers, consumers, and the US economy in general. We'll discuss the politics of food issues such as labor practices and fair trade, organic agriculture, the mad cow outbreak, the family farming crisis, and genetically modifed organisms in the food system.

111 Genre Anxiety, or "How Interstitial Is It?"

Science Fiction and Fantasy•Wisconsin• Sunday, 2:30–3:45 p.m.

We (and maybe you, the audience) bring in some published works of fiction (and maybe a little music). Together, everyone in the room can discuss the ways in which each work fulfills the Interstitial Arts criteria of resisting categorization, crossing borders, living between boundaries, creating genre anxiety, so that we figure out where it falls on the continuum of Interstitiality.


112 Where are the real female superheroes?

Gender And Sexuality•Capitol A• Sunday, 2:30–3:45 p.m.

Bombshell spies, slayers, witches and assassins: kick––ass female stars have taken over blockbuster movies like Charlie's Angels, Daredevil, X–Men and Kill Bill as well as prime time TV hits such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed. These characters are the new female superheroes. They kill as quickly as they break down in tears, and beat up guys as easily as they toss them into bed. With very few exceptions, they're young, white, beautiful, straight and skinny. As the product of corporate media, are these icons of "female power" merely cons? Which heroines do we love? Which ones make us grit our teeth as we, nevertheless, keep on watching? A lively discussion.

114 What I Didn't See: Karen Joy Fowler, James Tiptree Junior, and the Tangent Online Discussion

Science Fiction and Fantasy•University A• Sunday, 2:30–3:45 p.m.

When Ellen Datlow published What I Didn't See in Scifiction, there was a long, contentious debate on the Tangent Online discussion list. This panel would concentrate less on what kind of story What I Didn't See is, and more on how it echoes Tiptree's The Women Men Don't See.

Science•Conference Room 4• Sunday, 2:30–3:45 p.m.

Brenda Maddox has just published a biography of Rosalind Franklin, the neglected researcher whose photos of the DNA molecule led to the double––helix breakthrough. Part of the reason why scientific history has ignored her is circumstantial–––she died young, several years before the Nobel Prize was awarded to Watson and Crick. But she was also famously mistreated in Watson's book The Double Helix. Her case has implications for the position of women in science as a whole–––past, present, and future. Let's discuss.

117 Power: Non–Violent Women/Strong Men

Academic Papers•Conference Room 5• Sunday, 2:30–3:45 p.m.

"Women's Non–Violent Power" Too often, "power" gets linked to violence, and if violence is linked to masculinity and masculinity to men, then what does that say about women's power? While there is a place for women characters whose power comes from violence, if powerful women are always only shown as violent, what are the implications? In my presentation, I explore these ideas and also discuss examples of women's non–violent power.

"Fascist Fantasies: The Strong Man as Hero in Jordan and Goodkind" Academic Paper Description: In Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time and Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series, the male protagonists must save the world from an invading evil by conquering other nations and consolidating personal power. Along the way, they abolish representative governments, dismantle organizations of learning, and reinforce the inherent connection between certain peoples and their land. This paper draws on feminist and cultural studies approaches to analyze how conventions of the genre (prophecy, magical super–men, supernatural evils) are used rhetorically to naturalize the need for a "strong man"as leader of a troubled people, looking back nostalgically on a better time.

Media•623• Sunday, 2:30–3:45 p.m.

Caryn James says "Return of the King" lacks anything to appeal to female viewers other than Viggo– and Orlando–eyecandy. Others dismiss the Princess Bride as a "chick flick." Are genre movies inherently male–oriented in subject matter and viewpoint? And what makes a movie a "chick flick" anyway?

127 Power and tension in fiction

Writing: The Art•Wisconsin• Sunday, 4:00–5:15 p.m.

The more interesting stories tend to have point of view character who are starship captains or princesses because upper––class people have more resources available and more to lose if the quest goes wrong. But is story tension always about who has power, who wants power, and how they go about getting it? Is it possible to write an interesting SF/F story about a camp follower who isn't the general's butler, or someone a thousand miles away who doesn't give a darn?

M: David D. Levine

128 More Than Just Window Dressing?

Gender And Sexuality•Capitol A• Sunday, 4:00–5:15 p.m.

The feminist and queer movements have “trickled down” to SF/F, giving us female characters who are more than simpering princesses waiting for rescue and gay/lesbian/bi/trans characters who—––well, at least they’re there. But if the strong female protagonists (straight or queer) are violent warmongers and the queer male characters are all simpering princesses, isn’t that just packaging the same old stereotypes in new outfits (or body parts)? Is this better than not having strong women or queer characters at all, or is it actually counter––productive? Where are the credible characters with queer/feminist sensibility and values?


131 Senses and Sensibilities

Readings•Conference Room 2• Sunday, 4:00–5:15 p.m.


132 Suzy McKee Charnas, Candas Jane Dorsey and Carolyn Ives Gilman

Academic Papers•Conference Room 4• Sunday, 4:00–5:15 p.m.

"Tedla and Blue: Carolyn Ives Gilman and Candas Jane Dorsey's Ways to Probe Personal Psychology through Non–Gendered Characters" Both authors deliberately position their characters between gendered categories because they are concerned with the human condition in general. Although the focus in the novels Halfway Human by Gilman and Paradigm of Earth by Dorsey differs, the first novel being more concerned with the development of personal responsibility, the second with personal freedom, the reader still gets insights into the workings of personal psychology today. I analyze the two novels comparatively and reflect upon the authors' usage of neologisms in gender sphere (such as "per").

"Becoming Heroic: the Question of Alternative Female Heroes in Suzy McKee Charnas' The Conqueror's Child" I discuss notions of the heroic inspired by feminist critiques of the traditional heroic, from feminist philosophical as well as literary critical sources (e.g. Marleen Barr, Genevieve Lloyd, Moira Gatens and Elizabeth Grosz). I engage with concepts organised around the fluidity of gender, subjectivity and the heroic as a process of 'becoming'. Charnas' novel, The Conqueror's Child, provides a place to explore these issues: her characters attempt to construct new ways of being 'female' and 'male', new ways of thinking about sexuality and sexual orientation, and new social realities outside the ideological frameworks of their past and ours.

Media•Senate A• Monday, 10:00–11:15 a.m.

The loss of Farscape, Dark Angel, Firefly, and other modern SF/F shows still stings for many of us. Cancellation of your favorite show when it's still enthralling and/or brimming with potential can trigger feelings of grief, hatred, betrayal, a desire for revenge, and a natural wonderment at the stupidity of TV networks. It's also inspired some doomed attempts to keep certain shows in production. So let us commiserate together about the shoddy treatment our noble shows have suffered at the hands of the very networks that spawned them, with a combination historical review, bitch session, and homage to our fallen favorites.
