I hope everyone is having a great summer so far! For your summer reading, here is an admittedly incomplete list of some recent or forthcoming publications that might be of interest to H-Animalistas:
Gala Argent & Jeannette Vaught, eds., The Relational Horse: How Frameworks of Communication, Care, Politics, and Power Reveal and Conceal Equine Selves (Brill, 2022): https://brill.com/view/title/61334?language=en
I am pleased to announce the publication of Agricultural History volume 96, issues 1-2 at its new online content site, read.dukepress.edu/agricultural-history. This is the first issue produced by our new publisher, Duke University Press.
Call for Papers
Taylor Sheridan’s Wests
Call for participation in a one-day conference at Dartmouth College on October 13, 2022 and a follow-up workshop to prepare the papers for publication in an edited volume at Colby College, April 14-15, 2023. Contributions should interrogate and theorize the historical coexistence of animal life alongside humans in the processes and practices of visual production circa 1750-1900 and challenge the traditional subservience of non-human animals in accounts of the emergence of modern visuality.
Thriving in the Darkness: Rethinking Ability through the Animal Lens
Dear all,
We would like to share with you the creation of an exciting Youtube Channel that premieres videographic discussions with a range of researchers on the theme of EcologicalReparation: https://www.youtube.com/c/EcologicalReparation/.
The videos explore different ways in which ecological thinking and practice may enable reparation, as well as how reparation for damages done could be ecological.
A call is out for paper proposals for the session "Architecture and Interspecies Relations" at the Society of Architectural Historians Virtual Conference, which will take place 20-22 September 2023. Proposals are due 7 June 2022. For the call for papers and to submit a proposal, visit the website of the Society of Architectural Historians.
We are currently accepting abstract proposals for a European Journal of American Studies special issue. Articles for this special issue will be united in their pursuit of answers to the following question: what factors have historically influenced North American literary and cultural representations of harmonious human–animal coexistence?
