CFP: ‘Thinking after Dark: Welcome to the World of Horror Video Games’

4:30AM Maggie Greene | Totally out of my academic purview, but it’s a really neat sounding conference: The research group Ludiciné (University of Montreal), the Research Group on the Creation and Formation of Cinematographic and Theatrical Institutions (GRAFICS) (also from the University of Montreal) and the NT2 Laboratory on Hypermedia Art and Literature (University of Quebec) are hosting a conference next year (in — surprise! — Montréal) on horror games. Proposals are due by January 15, 2009, and the conference will be held from April 23 to 25, 2009. So if you’re incubating a great paper topic on horror games, or are sitting on a paper that you haven’t had an academic outlet for, here’s your chance. Sounds pretty fun! More information can be found at the website, and the full call for papers can be found beneath the jump. [via GameSetWatch] More »
