Call for Papers: Ecocriticism
Organization: American Literature
Due Date: Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Publish Date: Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Details: www.editorialmanager.com/al/
Description: Although ecocriticism was largely developed by Americanists in English departments in the western United States and marked by a coolness toward the theoretical and historicist methods of its day, the most recent wave of ecocritical work has turned toward the global and the theoretical, closely engaging with critical geography, postcolonial studies, political philosophy, aesthetics, environmental justice, regional studies, and other fields. This special issue of American Literature will showcase the ways that ecocriticism, now globalized and theoretically robust, might return to its American origins to revise and reinvigorate American studies. Guest editors Michael Ziser (University of California, Davis) and Monique Allewaert (Emory University) invite submissions that imagine a forward-looking big-tent ecocriticism that tests the potential of environmental approaches to illuminate a range of American cultural and literary concerns. Possible topics include: the relation of climate change to post- and trans-nationalisms; how writing in the digital era attempts to evoke environments/place; whether recent theorizations of animality might transform American racial and political tropes; what effect the environment has on conceptions of subjectivity and citizenship; and how current debates about posthumanism bear on environmental projects.
Submissions of 11,000 words or less (including endnotes) should be submitted electronically at www.editorialmanager.com/al/ by 31 August 2010. When choosing a submission type, select New Submission-Special Issue. For assistance with the submission process, please contact the office of American Literature at (919) 6843948 or am-lit@duke.edu. Please direct other questions to Michael Ziser (mgziser@ucdavis.edu), Monique Allewaert (mallewa@emory.edu), or Priscilla Wald (pwald@duke.edu).

Call for Papers: The Red Atlantic
Organization: Institute of Native American Studies at UGA
Due Date: Friday, September 17, 2010
Publish Date: Thursday, November 11, 2010
Details: Contact: inas@uga.edu
Description: The Institute of Native American Studies (INAS) at the University of Georgia (UGA) invites submissions of paper proposals for the conference Exploring the Red Atlantic to be held at the University of Georgia November 12-13, 2010.
In a forthcoming article in American Indian Culture and Research Journal, Jace Weaver defines the Red Atlantic as the movement of western hemisphere indigenes and indigenous wealth, ideas, and technology around the Atlantic basin from 1000 C.E. to 1800. From the earliest moments of European/Native contact in the Americas to 1800 and beyond, Indians were central to the Atlantic experience. Native resources, ideas, and peoples themselves traveled the Atlantic with regularity and became among the most basic components of Atlantic cultural exchange. Moreover, Europeans and colonists defined themselves by comparison with and in opposition to Natives. They even sought indigeneity in hybridized identities, as reflected in works of literature like The Female American and Susanna Rowson's Reuben and Rachel.
We invite submissions on any aspect of the Red Atlantic from its beginnings to 1900. Submissions may reflect any disciplinary perspective. A small amount of funds is available to support travel. Funds will be awarded competitively, and preference will be given to graduate students. Abstracts should be typed double-spaced and be no more than 250 words. They should be sent to INAS@uga.edu before September 17, 2010. Notifications will be made before October 1.
