Panel proposed at the 2023 ASLE + AESS Conference: “Reclaiming the Commons”

July 9-12, 2023 in Portland, Oregon

This panel sets out to frame the Gulf South as a space in which the forces of settler colonial plantations and their petrochemical afterlives have made linear time’s inadequacy especially apparent. We are interested in work that takes up the ways writers, artists, and performers in the Gulf South develop methods of resistance to settler colonialism in the Plantationocene by interrupting or disputing linear time. Our hope is to put together a panel that discusses the Gulf of Mexico broadly, including the eastern coast of Mexico and the Caribbean. Organizers include Tori Bush, PhD Candidate at LSU and Eric Gary Anderson, Associate Professor at George Mason University.

Please submit abstracts (300 words max) to Tori Bush at toribush5@gmail.com by December 15, 2022.
