Initially conceived in the 1981-2006 novel series by Thomas Harris, Hannibal exists at the centre of a sprawling franchise that includes the critically acclaimed film,</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:inherit"> </span><em style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:inherit;border:0px;margin:0px;outline:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline">The Silence of the Lambs</em><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:inherit"> </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:inherit">(Jonathan Demme, 1991), and most recently Bryan Fuller’s television series</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:inherit"> </span><em style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:inherit;border:0px;margin:0px;outline:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline">Hannibal</em><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:inherit"> </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:inherit">(2013-2015). The diverse texts that constitute the Hannibal franchise demonstrate the fertile potential of the Hannibal mythology to extend and develop across multiple media, and the complexity of Hannibal himself as a boundary-defying figure of modern monstrosity and the senses. At the centre of Hannibal’s monstrosity is a breakdown of the boundaries between high and low art, the mythic and the everyday, and refinement and savagery. Accordingly, critical interest in the Hannibal franchise has focused on Hannibal’s embodiment of the boundary transgressions central to scholarly understandings of monstrosity.</span></p><p style="font-family:'Open Sans',Helvetica,sans-serif;font-style:inherit;font-weight:normal;border:0px;margin:0px 0px 1.5em;outline:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><font color="#000000">Critical analyses of the books and films have been both profound and widespread across various disciplines. More recently, Fuller’s <em style="border:0px;font-family:inherit;margin:0px;outline:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline">Hannibal</em> has not only redefined what came before, but has inspired, extended and renewed interest in this seminal figure. The “Feasting on Hannibal” conference aims to push the boundaries of previous conceptualizations of the Hannibal series, while reflecting on how the television show has reframed the culture of Hannibal. This conference looks to the future of the franchise as a continually developing and mutating mythology, welcoming papers that examine Hannibal across any of his multiple incarnations, but especially considering how Hannibal mythology has been reformulated and extended since Fuller’s television series.</font></p><p style="font-family:'Open
