	~~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.~~

	The Female Power of Learning and Literature in [[Pamela Dean]]'s [[Tam Lin]]		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.

	"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.		"A Snow Queen for the Modern Woman: Feminist Re/Visions of Fairy Tales, Myths, and Utopias."

	"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.
