When Nature Strikes Back

(MLA panel arranged by the Association for the Study of Literature
and the Environment)

Proposals are invited for presentations that explore how literary
texts (including film) depict or personify nature's retribution for
human attempts to control, change, or harm the land.

For example, how does the environment create an inhospitable
situation for humans that either appears natural (hurricanes, West
Nile Virus, Avian Flu, Mad Cow disease) or supernatural (the flood in
Their Eyes Were Watching God)?

How does "nature" have agency in literature and film?

Submit 300-word abstracts by March 1, 2007 to Sarah McFarland at
mcfarlands_at_nsula.edu.

"Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box": Poe and Twentieth Century Poetry.
Poe and his poetic theories have continued to be a point of
engagement for twentieth-century poets, as witnessed by the recent
publication of the posthumous Elizabeth Bishop poem from which the
title of this panel is taken. This panel is calling for papers that
engage with any aspect of Poe's relation to poets and poetry of the
last century.

Call for Papers: Vine Deloria, Jr. Memorial Panel

"His Body of Work, in Memoriam: Vine Deloria, Jr."

Native/Indigenous Studies Area
  
  

PCA/ACA national conference organizers have indicated a strong
interest in my proposed panel, titled "The Story on the Body:
Textual Tattoos and the Corporeal Canvas".

Panel Description:

Whereas Melville's Queequeg is one of American literature's earliest
fictional tattooed characters, it is Hawthorne's Hester who upends
one of the conventions of the body in literature: Her scarlet "A"
reminds us of the role of her body in the novel, but it is the
adulterous story told on her body that positions Hester herself as a
text to be read.
