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.
Against the backdrop of a 21st century addicted to ‘origins’ and ‘ends,’ this ACLA seminar uses the work of Gillian Rose (1947-1995) to explore the possibilities of the ‘broken middle’. Contemporary politics and literature too often eschew the middle in favour of posited utopias: perceiving in the crisis of the present an imminent transcendence towards redemption (the nation-state made great again) or catastrophe (climate apocalypse); attempting to circumvent social institutions and the media in favour of direct relationships with the other; believing fervently in materiality, affect or corporeality ‘beyond’ the mediation of language (even as its residue).

The Jonathan Bayliss Society invites proposals for a roundtable on American experimental fiction. Beginning at least as early as Moby-Dick, American experimental fiction flourishes in the work of Stein, Burroughs, Pynchon, Gass, and Bayliss, and continues today with such writers as Giannina Braschi, Karen Russell, Colson Whitehead, Lance Olsen, and Mark Danielewski. Such writers disrupt conventions of genre, style, syntax, diction, propriety, narrative form, page layout, and much more. We are interested in papers devoted to particular works or authors as well as more wide-ranging or theoretical approaches to the topic.
Renascence: Essays on Literature and Ethics, Spirituality, and Religion continues to publish scholarship on a wide range of time periods, traditions, and perspectives. While welcoming essays on our longstanding concerns such as T S Eliot, Flannery O’Connor, and Graham Greene, we call attention to our recent interventions into contemporary writers like Marilynne Robinson and Carolyn Forché, into Dante studies and Shakespeare studies, and into non-Western areas of inquiry.

In a 2023 article, the Black British writer Derek Owusu describes the transformative experience of reading D. H. Lawrence’s St Mawr (1925) as simultaneously an awakening to language and to a wider sense of connectedness. ‘I don’t have the words to describe what happened to me while turning the pages of that short story,’ he writes, ‘but I know language became something three-dimensional, and everything around me seemed connected by an unexpressed narrative.’
