Chapters are needed for an edited collection entitled Monsters with Minds of Their Own in Western and Global Literatures and Media. This collection seeks to contribute to a series on the non-human in literature and culture. It aims at examining (the intersections between) the notions of monstrosity and evil in the literary and artistic depictions of non-human and hybrid (or post-human) intelligence in different cultural and historical contexts. It focuses on the representation of monsters and creatures that have cognitive abilities as well as on the demonizing and vilification of artificially or magically enhanced human intelligence.

ASLE 2025: Latine Ecologies of Migration: Displacement and Environmental Resistance

deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, December 1, 2024

This panel seeks to explore how Latin American and Latine writers, filmmakers, and artists depict natural elements—such as water, air, landscapes, and weather—as active forces that shape and mediate human emotions, identity, and survival. Through an environmental humanities lens, we will examine how these works go beyond symbolic uses of nature to show how ecological crises become part of the migrant experience. In many Latine / Latin American narratives, migration is influenced not only by social and political pressures but also by environmental changes like drought, floods, deforestation, or pollution. The environment is not just a setting, but a participant in the story, embodying the intimate connections between human and non-human worlds.

“The Same Air, Water, and Hope”: Environmental Narratives Through the Razor Wire

 

In his 1989 essay “A Toxic Shock,” imprisoned activist and journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal writes, “Despite the legal illusions erected by the system to divide and separate life, we the caged share the same air, water, and hope with you, the not-yet-caged. We share your same breath.” How can something as violently boundary-setting as razor wire still allow for the circulation of air, water, and hope?

Petrocultures is a fast growing sub-discipline in the humanities which contends with the ways fossil fuels shapes our interpersonal, social and cultural lives. There has been little attention yet paid, however, to the relationship between energy culture and music. What Stephanie LeMenager calls the ‘aesthetics of petroleum’ holds a particularly strong resonance with 20th and 21st century music culture.
