Scope

Eco-environmental criticism has now become a staple presence in the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary landscape, calling for ongoing reflections on the human impact on the environment. A distinct aspect of these conversations has been the growing focus on the concern of ecological destruction for the planet, with all the inevitable consequences that this entails.  Within changing contexts that feel increasingly more precarious, conceptualisations of the ‘eco-futures’ have become central to our cultural discourses,  from film to television series, from literature to comics, from animation and video games to digital narratives, from architecture to design, from socio-ecology to animal studies. 

Dear Colleagues:

Thank you considering this important project--my very best,

~Maureen Ellen Ruprecht, CUNY

Ecocritical Theory and Practice, a book series published by Lexington Books, an imprint of Bloomsbury Books, is seeking proposals at the interface of literary/cultural studies and the environment.

This collection seeks essays on paleontologists in film, literature, and contemporary media. The Jurassic Park franchise solidified the presence of paleontology in the pop cultural imagination, but there have been other media and portrayals that have captured the public's imagination. Topics can include, but are not limited to:

-Studies of specific films

-Studies of specific novels

-Studies of fictional and/or real-life paleontologists in modern media

Chapters will be due in September 2025. Chapters should be approximately 5,000 to 7,000 words, with Chicago-style endnotes and a bibliography page.

Robert Lowell session, American Literature Association, 21-24 May 2025 in Boston

The Robert Lowell Society welcomes proposals for one session at the American Literature Association's annual conference (Boston, MA, 21–24 May 2025).

We are especially interested in proposals that consider Lowell's work in light of today's "death studies." For example: Lowell’s own elegies, his memories of and reconstructions of predecessors and peers, his cemetery poems, his care poems, his commemorative publishing projects, his imitations of elegies by others, his prose about others. Panelists might also consider poems about Lowell, including but not limited to elegies. 

Social justice is the virtue which guides us in creating those organized human interactions we call institutions. In turn, social institutions, when justly organized, provide us with access to what is good for the person, both individually and in our associations with others. Social justice also imposes on each of us a personal responsibility to work with others to design and continually perfect our institutions as tools for personal and social development.

Recent developments in the study of theatre festivals (Knowles 2020) highlight the importance of investigating festivals as key events, both for the field of theatre and, more broadly, for cultural life. These contributions demonstrate the value of examining festivals from transnational perspectives and exploring their impact on the artistic and social communities that have designed, produced, and hosted them. As recurring events that create a distinct time and space, festivals can be seen as a lens through which processes of negotiation between socio-political positions and artistic perspectives can be investigated, often within a context that is simultaneously local and global.
