Hi! I was just forwarded this from a friend and thought some friends on this list might want to help and sign this petition to help the turtles: <A HREF="http://phcomm1.phc.net/ph/tortoise/sfpetition.html">LIVE FOOD ANIMAL PETITION</A> Thanks! Angela >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Sep 23 18:00:19 1998 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 23 Sep 1998 19:59:59 EDT To: STUDIES IN WOMEN AND ENVIRONMENT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Nature's Nation Reconsidered Forwarded Message: CALL FOR PAPERS EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION FOR AMERICAN STUDIES CONFERENCE 2000 APRIL 14-17, 2000, GRAZ, AUSTRIA 'Nature's Nation' Reconsidered: American Concepts of Nature from Wonder to Ecological Crisis Today's advanced understanding of nature calls for a drastic re-conceptualization of traditional ideas about our relation to the natural environment. At the beginning of a new millennium an adequate understanding of 'nature' will be of utmost importance, and an investigation into the=7F dominant ideas and attitudes of a nation and culture powerful enough to change that environment on a global scale would seem highly appropriate. A host of historical, socio-political and economical as well as cultural, literary, and psychological approaches can be applied to the theme in an attempt to understand the place and function of nature in American history (and the history of American self-definition) as well as the current manifestations of a new interest in nature in various areas of American culture and society. Lectures and workshops could thus inquire into the powerful impact the idea of nature had on American society and culture in the past, but also into the creative ("utopian") potential it still has in contemporary conceptualizations of alternative or different lives (and life styles). They could explore the multitude of myths and concepts relating to 'nature' and 'America' (European and American projections, Jeffersonian ideals and agrarian myths from the early republic to the New Deal, from pastoral self-confinement to the dynamics of westward expansion), conservation movements (the establishment of national parks and natural museums), nature writing, the representation of nature in literature, the arts, photography and film. They could also deal with Native American= natural religion and its echoes in contemporary mainstream and (ethnic) counter-culture(s), with ecological movements in politics and the arts, with eco-feminism; or with the various manifestations of 'artificial' nature in plastic or in cyberspace. Proposals for parallel/dialogue lectures should be submitted to the EAAS delegate of your national/regional American Studies Association, with copies to the EAAS President, Heinz Ickstadt, by January 31, 1999. Proposals for workshop topics (and organizers) should be submitted to the EAAS delegate of your national/regional American Studies Association, with copies to the EAAS Secretary, Walter H=F7lbling, by January 31, 1999. This Call for Papers and more recent information on the conference will be available on the web site of the EAAS at: <http://www.let.uu.nl/eaas/eaas2000.htm>.
