The “Language-Society-Environment Nexus” is a prominent cross-disciplinary field of research that has been commonly addressed by the scientific community. Be it a newspaper article, a video, a classroom activity, a political debate, a social network page, creative writing, or a textbook course, we think that environmental studies have been striving to maintain the protection of nature in all its interconnectivity, including all beings, humans and animals. Today, environmental studies are a magnet that connects ecology, society, and language. For example, problems like climate change, global warming, pollution, ...

Special Issue of University of Toronto Quarterly (Fall 2024)

Representing a (Post) Pandemic World (1722-2022)

This special issue of the University of Toronto Quarterly asks: What is the role of art in a (post)pandemic world?

Answering these questions is difficult because, as Elizabeth Outka argues, a pandemic is a “miasma” with “spectral realities”; it is “an unseen, corrupting, ...

For this volume, we invite contributions that seek to cultivate multispecies kinship by encouraging alternative ways of relating to, thinking about, and entering into conversation with the animate world. Inspired by the etymological ties to the land of the verb cultivate, this work aims at digging deep down along the epistemic roots of anthroparchy (Cudworth). The casting of the “Human” as dominant species is largely responsible for our failure to connect with ...

CALL – rationale: Rivers’ symbolical functions are deeply embedded in global traditions, giving us an insight into their cultural value. However, the long history of rivers’ hydromorphological and hydraulic transformation, as well as their anthropogenic pollution, has not been reflected in the context of their abundant national and supranational literatures and other texts of identity cultures. This call addresses ...
