Papers on Language and Literature is now accepting submissions for a special
issue, "Living with Animals," to be published in late 2002. We are seeking
essays on literature of any genre that depicts the interaction of human
characters with pets, domestic animals, or wild animals. Specifically, we are
looking for articles that analyze human encounters with the non-human.
Human-animal interactions need not be the central issue in the texts
considered. In fact, sometimes the interesting question may be why animals
are brought into texts peripherally.
The editors of Papers on Language and Literature will not consider pieces
that treat purely human issues through animal imagery. In other words, work
on beast fables, allegories using animals, fantastic works involving talking
animals, or other texts in which anthropomorphized animals are the focus will
not be considered for this issue.
