Call for Papers for a proposed MLA Special Session
Panel Topic: The Urban Environment of British Modernism
Modern Language Association, New York
December 27-30, 2002
This panel will feature analyses of urban nature or the urban appreciation
of rural nature in texts of British modernism. Papers focusing on
canonical and non-canonical modernist writers not previously considered by
ecocritical approaches are especially welcome, as are readings of "natural"
figurations within modernist formal experimentation. Possible topics
include representations of institutionalized nature (museums, dioramas,
teaching models); constructed nature (gardens, parks, zoos); natural/urban
hybrids (smogs, canals, cityscapes); ephemeral experiences of nature;
nature recollected in the city.
Send 1-2 page abstracts and brief cv by March 15; email submissions
preferred (no attachments, please).
All participants in MLA programs must be members of the MLA by April 1,
2002. Please note your membership status in your cover letter.
