Edited by Adrienne Resha and Katlin Marisol Sweeney-Romero
We are seeking essay submissions pertaining to Henry James’s early stories and criticism, to be published by Vernon press. The working title of the collection is Writing as Revenge.

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.

The Latin word, ‘Surdus’–used to translate the Arabic mathematical term, ‘asamm’–had referred to irrational numbers, those resisting, or willfully remaining deaf to, ratiocination and thus calculability. Its contemporary counterparts, the mathematical 'surd;' and the linguistic use of ‘surd’ for unvoiced consonants find a link in the Proto-Indo-European ‘*swer-’ which meant to buzz, whisper, or whistle. With the rise of contemporary calculation and the computational society of control which derives its power from bayesian modeling, the mathematical theory of communication, and algorithmic machine learning, the ability to remain inscrutible and deafening to such Capitalist ratiocination continues to be, and is an evermore, important aspect of resistance.
