FYI... Stefanie Rixecker ECOFEM Coordinator ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: Adam Sweeting Boston University -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS CLIMATOGRAPHY: ESSAYS ON WEATHER, CULTURE, AND THE METEOROLOGICAL IMAGINATION For a volume of critical essays addressing those cultural spaces bordering on the meteorological, we seek proposals that explore the role of weather in culture, literature, and the arts. Weather, we assume, underpins the basic material and emotional forces that form the basis of how we live. Every region has its own weather -- from the cold and blustery to the temperate and serene -- as well as ways to represent it. Our daily conversations are so often about the weather, yet discussions of the meteorological influences have received surprisingly little attention from scholars interested in the overlap of nature, culture, and environments. Our volume aims to broaden conventional considerations of the weather by drawing on the insights of writers in such diverse fields as literature, geography, meteorology, history, environmental studies, and the fine arts. We particularly encourage interdisciplinary approaches, especially those that challenge the boundaries between modes of inquiry. Topics might include (but need not be limited to) weather in literature; art and meteorology; gendered weather; seasons and seasonal change; climatological history; weather myths and lore; weather reporting; technology and weather science; history of meteorological science. Please send proposals or completed papers (20-25 pages) by June 30, 2001 to: Adam Sweeting Boston University College of General Studies 871 Commonwealth Avenue Boston, MA 02215 Email inquiries should be directed to: Todd Robert Peterson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] or Adam Sweeting, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------- End of forwarded message ------- ************************************ Dr. Stefanie S.
