This panel seeks contributions on the relationship between creativity and fame, content and form, face and mask. Looking at various styles of self-representation of authors, film-makers or other cultural figures, in the building of fame we ask: What legitimates a work of art, success and fame in the era of voluntary and coercive digital self-exposure? What forms of resistance to self-exposure help foster success and myth in ironic fashion?

In Arthur C. Clark’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, an ape named Moonwatcher becomes inspired by the monolith to use a tool to kill another animal for food. This story casts this moment as a triumph of survival over hunger, but it also unequivocally connotes the act as showing “evil intent.” If humans are the “moral animal,” but animal nonetheless, what obligation do they have towards other animal life? Must humans “transcend” omnivorous diets if possible? Does the “greatest good for the greatest...

Nineteen years in, our twenty-first century literary traditions are beginning to take shape, and, indeed, it may be time to bring the unhelpfully named "contemporary" period to a close. Has our culture indeed shifted into a new literary period? What aspects of the new era provide it a sense of definition? Or, is the defining crisis that will launch a new literary period just on the horizon? The 9-11 Attacks, globalization/neoliberalism, the Anthropocene, the collapse of a post-Cold War détente...
