The School of Culture and Communication and the Faculty of Arts at

The University of Melbourne present the 2-day event,

*Feasting on Hannibal: An Interdisciplinary Conference.*


This delectable conference brings together scholars and artists from
diverse disciplinary backgrounds to consider Hannibal Lecter’s persistent
cultural significance as a figure of cultivated monstrosity. Inspired by
the recent re-emergence of Hannibal and his surrounding mythology in
television, this conference explores how Hannibal Lecter continues to
redefine notions of the monstrous. This conference aims to facilitate an
understanding of how the continually evolving, mutating, and adapting
figure of Hannibal Lecter speaks so pertinently to our contemporary culture.
