Last summer at the ASLE conference (Amer Assoc for Study of Literature
and Environment) in Montana, I heard, second- or third-hand, about a
conversation from one of the panels, where they were saying that the
frog-sucking beetle of Annie Dillard's Pilgrim of Tinker Creek couldn't
have happened in the biosytem of Tinker Creek. I'd like to refer to
this in an article, but I need citations. Does anybody else remember
this conversation or paper? Many thanks, Sara

ENVIRONMENT AND CULTURE
An Interdisciplinary Conference in the Humanities
The first ASLE Symposium to be held in Britain
Bath Spa University College, England
July 3-5, 1998
This conference aims to draw together different strands of
contemporary ecocriticism, introduce the work of ASLE to
Britain, and begin to define a British ecocriticism.
Proposals are invited for papers on the following:
* ecocritical readings of literature, television, film,
popular culture
* ecocritical history
* ecofeminism and gender
* ecocritical theory
* British ecocriticisms/North American ecocriticisms/
European ecocriticisms/world ecocriticisms
* historical and new nature-writing,
* eco-thrillers and apocalyptic disaster movies
* environmentalism, colonialism and post-colonialism
* and other connected topics
Bath is a European Heritage city, famous for its
Roman Baths and eighteenth-century streets and crescents.
The surrounding countryside is beautiful and easily
accessible. On Saturday night there will be a conference
dinner and evening of entertainment at a venue in the
centre of Bath. An excursion to `Hardy country' in
nearby Dorset, including a guided nature-walk on the
Dorset cliffs, will be available on the day after
the conference.
