With the enormous success of A&E's Hoarders and TLC's variant Hoarding: Buried Alive, and with the inclusion of "Hoarding Disorder" in the revised Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders, the last decade has seen an overwhelming outpouring of attention to people who accumulate things. "Things Theory" will consider this contemporary invention of and interest in the hoarder within a broader literary and cultural context that encompasses collectors, fetishists, misers, and other figures defined by their attachments to things. Seminar participants may wish to engage with critical texts by Walter Benjamin, Jane Bennett, and Susan Stewart, and/or to reflect upon the following questions:

Postcolonial Environments is a one-day symposium that will bring together scholars and postgraduates interested in the role of environments in colonial and postcolonial encounters and the relations that they engender. Responding to the current impetus in postcolonial studies to return to questions of materiality and locality, the symposium will provide a forum for the discussion of the significance of social and physical environments and the unusual or unexpected ways in which relationships in and to particular places develop.
The New Union, a new online literary magazine, requires guest articles for online publication.
We welcome articles on any and all literary subjects and genres, and from any period in history.
We also invite articles that look at current news, events, politics, etc and connect them with literary topics past and present.
Articles should be approximately 1,000 words in length.
The only stipulation is that every article must be interesting and unique. No dull, academically formal articles required! We want funny, irreverent, and witty articles (unless your specialist subject is death, in which case you are excused!).
We particularly welcome articles about unknown themes, writers, and texts.
We invite abstracts or proposals for essays on the relations between ecocriticism and geocriticism, broadly conceived, for a proposed collection of essays, Ecocriticism and Geocriticism: Overlapping Territories in Environmental and Spatial Literary Studies.
