Workshop: Middle Eastern Animals: Interdisciplinary Perspectives from Early Modern to Contemporary Times (University of Vienna, June 27-28, 2019)

At the juncture of Africa, Europe, and Asia, the Middle East boasts deserts, mountains, steppes, valleys and river deltas. Across the region diverse mammals, reptiles, birds, and insects, as well as marine organisms and invertebrates, make their homes. The workshop “Middle Eastern Animals: Interdisciplinary Perspectives from Early Modern to Contemporary Times” will focus on this diversity and explore the role non-human animals have played throughout the history of the Middle East.

Antennae #47 is now online
 
Our new issue, number #47, is titled 'Experiment'. It is the first of two installments (the second, out this summer titled 'Interface') exploring the intricacies and rewards involved in "art and science" collaborations. This issue includes exclusive interviews with artists and scholars whose work has impacted the way we think about disciplinary boundaries, ethics, and aesthetics in modern and contemporary art.

CFP: Marxism, animals, and plants, London, November 2019

I've heard from the organisers of Historical Materialism's annual conference that they are looking for panels on animals and plants. There are few places for Marxist creature studies, so this is a great opportunity. I would like to organise at least one panel, hopefully two. 

Here's the call for papers: http://www.historicalmaterialism.org/conferences
