Panel Description
Cultural Appropriation & Writing Fantasy Outside Western Tradition (#132)
Writing SF&F: The Craft•Assembly• Saturday, 9:00-10:15 p.m.
Not all fantasy fiction is, or indeed should, come from faery, from Middle Earth, from Tolkien or from other Western European traditions. Not everything should be pseudo–medieval in nature, and it seems that more and more fantasy authors are drawing upon other cultural frameworks in fashioning their fictions. Yet, that comes with its own issues, such as cultural appropriation. A discussion of the embrace of neglected mythoi, and the pitfalls that may await the adventurous traveler there.
