Cycles of Awe Treatment

Treatment of Final Paper: Click through for the Google Doc. Basically I will be examining the psychology of awe and how people go through cycles of awe as children or as adults, how we encounter awe differently, and what happens when we have an "awe moment" but do nothing with it.

Prospective Venue: I haven't found anything that exactly correlates with what I'm writing about, but I think I could swing my paper for these potential venues.

1. http://www.cfplist.com/ has a lot of options for current calls for paper. I highly encourage all of you to take a look if you're having problems finding venues.
2. Scottish Studies is interested in readings of Peter Pan and perpetual childhood. Since I will be looking at Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan in terms of perpetual awe and childhood, I think it could be interested in at least some aspects of my paper.
3. SF/F Now is interested in exploring the current research into the fantastic and the ways in which fantasy and "the weird" grapple with and illuminate social issues. Since I will be talking about Wonderland and Neverland and why these places are sources in which children return to, I could talk about the social contexts of why people return to fantastical or "weird places" as sources of development or escape.
4. 100 Dubliners invites any paper on Dubliners (since it's the 100 anniversary of the book) which is brilliant since a good portion of my paper will be analyzing several of the short stories contained in Dubliners.
5. Previous post for possible venues is another collection of places I could look to for other venues if previous ones don't work.

What's Next: I need to start getting concrete details and proof for my points. Quotes, more analysis, maybe even more secondary sources that look at the psychology of Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and Dubliners. I also need to make sure that my outline works and isn't just a list with too much explanation that loses the reader.

**side note: I think for my creative project I might do a roundel poem because those are a bit easier to write compared to reverse poetry or palindrome poetry. Same ideas will apply to this style of poem as they wound have with those other poetry forms as I mentioned in my comments to Tara and Greg.
