Possible topics include, but are not limited to: --manifestos of critical theoretical practice --relationships between literature and environmental activism --feminist readings of literary text(s) --including but not limited to nature writing by women --any genre --any historical period --any indigenous, national, or international literary tradition --gender and environmental literary history --interrelations between ecofeminist literature and the other arts --ecofeminist perspectives on literature and whiteness, racism, or anti-colonial struggles --cross-cultural studies of constructions of nature --intersections of sexuality, language, and culture --queer studies --ecocriticism in a creatively critical voice We are especially interested in essays exploring issues, writers and writings that are marginalized in existing ecocriticism. Noticeably rare, for example, are ecocritical studies of African American and other ethnic literatures. We also want to encourage experimental, transgressive, and nonconformist critical writing, including criticism in a personal voice. Topics may be explored from any (feminist) theoretical perspective, but papers should be theoretically informed and well-written. Bucknell Review is of interest to those working in many areas including critical theory, cultural history, gender studies, philosophy, queer theory, English and comparative literature, postcolonial studies, literature�s interrelations with the arts, and cultural studies. Recent past issues include Worldviews and Ecology, eds. Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim (1993; v. 37.2); Irishness and (Post)Modernism, ed. John Rickard (1994; v. 38.1); and Having Our Way: Women Rewriting Tradition in Twentieth-Century America, ed. Harriet Pollack (1995; v. 39.1). Submissions should be 15-25 typed, double-spaced pages (including notes) in Chicago style. DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: January 15, 1999. Earlier submissions are encouraged.
