Found in translation: SFF translated works
Format: Panel15 Aug 2019, Thursday 15:00 - 15:50, Wicklow Room-4 (CCD)
English is the current lingua franca, making it easy to forget that a lot of genre fiction is translated from other languages. Who are the best authors of translated SFF? Are particular languages more likely to be translated than others? The panel will discuss the status of translated works in the wider context of SFF and which non-English books we should be reading.

The Shapes in Water: Aquatic Myths and Monsters
Format: Panel18 Aug 2019, Sunday 11:00 - 11:50, Wicklow Room-3 (CCD)
From selkies to umibozo, sirens to Marids, water in myth and fantasy has long been a site of strangeness and fluidity. Why are watery fantasies so potent, and so common? And how have different cultures embodied this tendency?
