Cormac McCarthy's Imaginative Return To The South – Hosted By The English
Department At The University Of Tennessee, Knoxville.

 Conference Dates – April 25th –April 28th 2007

Cormac McCarthy is one of the major authors of contemporary Southern and
American literature. After twenty years of novels set in the southwest
borderlands, McCarthy has revisited the Appalachian setting of his first four
novels in his new work The Road. In response, this conference will reconsider
the relationship of the McCarthy canon to the contemporary Southern and
American literary tradition. Please note that the conference will be held at
the UT conference center in downtown Knoxville.

Dear Friends and Colleagues;

ASLE 2007 Proposed Roundtable, or Panel Environmental Science Fiction: Genre and Possibility Ecocriticism has indeed branched out to include literatures not typically associated with &quot;nature writing.&quot; In an effort to continue this extension of ecocriticism into other genres, this roundtable/panel will explore the contributions of science fiction (SF) to environmental thought and ecological understandings. 250-word proposals are invited for a roundtable/panel that will examine SF as a literature well-suited to express the concerns of environmentalism and to explore humanity's place in ecological systems.
