Call for Papers: Edited Volume Mycelia across Media: Creative Expression and the Fungal Turn In the 2020s, mushrooms are having a moment: in the face of ubiquitous crisis in recent years, fungi have moved from the peripheries of scientific and cultural consciousness to the center of interdisciplinary inquiry. As researchers across the natural sciences, human medicine, bioengineering, construction, and textile industries have illuminated fungi’s ecological adaptability, sustainability, biochemical capacities, and technological promise, scholars and research networks in disciplines such as anthropology and cultural theory have ...

How to speak with(in) the earth? Situated knowledges, unnaming methods, and visions from the threshold

“I could not chatter away as I used to do, taking it all for granted. My words now must be as slow, as new, as single, as tentative as the steps I took going down the path away from the house…” Ursula K. Le Guin, “She Unnames Them,” The New Yorker (January 21, 1985)

The question “How to speak with(in) the earth?” is not a metaphor but a political, ontological, and epistemic ...

About the Volume

Decolonizing Ecolinguistics: Perspectives from Colonized Contexts seeks to make a focused and timely intervention in ecolinguistic scholarship by bringing decolonial thought into sustained dialogue with questions of language, ecology, power, and knowledge. It aims to foreground perspectives emerging from colonized, formerly colonized, Indigenous, and otherwise marginalized contexts, while critically examining the conceptual and epistemological foundations of ecolinguistics as a field.

Decolonization may be understood as the ongoing process of dismantling the political, cultural, material, and epistemic legacies of colonialism. Colonialism involved not ...

We invite proposals for a small number of additional chapters for an edited volume on animal adaptations, edited by Justyna Włodarczyk (University of Warsaw) and Michael Fuchs (University of Innsbruck).

The volume grows out of the NCN-funded project “Animal Adaptations” (https://www.animaladaptations.wn.uw.edu.pl/) and examines how representations of nonhuman animals change as stories, figures, and imaginaries move across media. Chapters are intended to pay particular attention to how medium-specific affordances—such as visuality, sound, movement, interactivity, and performance—reshape animal subjectivity, embodiment, and perception, as well as to ...

“The poetry of witness reclaims the social from the political and in so doing defends the individual against illegitimate forms of coercion.”- Carolyn Forché

Unearthed, the journal of environmental literature and art produced by SUNY ESF, invites submissions for an upcoming issue devoted to witnessing in a time of social and ecological rupture. We welcome work that refuses to look away ...

We also welcome contributions from those in more secure circumstances engaged in solidarity with ...
