We invite papers that focus on a range of approaches to poetry and performance, including the relationships between live art / performance and poetics and what has been termed in the UK, Performance Writing. We would like our contributors to consider some aspect of performance poetry or poetry in performance in relation to contexts of collaboration, networks and communities, and / or, its crossover into digital writing and new media. We are also particularly interested in the concept of a "poetic economy", which examines the way that gift cultures can be suggestive of possibilities for developing poetic networks. Poetry's oral tradition is finding new relevance within this type of economy and we welcome submissions that address the recent development of poetic practices that focus on the spoken word such as those supported by a range of venues including; Naropa University and the Bowery Poetry Club. We are also interested in poetry's relationship to live-art, music, sound poetry, and performance in new media.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.asu.edu/pipercwcenter/how2journal/announce.htm"><span style="font-weight: bold;">See our guidelines on submitting work</span></a><br /><br />Contact: Elizabeth-Jane Burnett and Sophie Robinson, Royal Holloway, University of London.<br /><a href="mailto:ejlburnett@yahoo.co.uk">ejlburnett@yahoo.co.uk</a> and <a href="mailto:sophie_amelia_robinson@yahoo.co.uk">sophie_amelia_robinson@yahoo.co.uk</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Deadline: September 1st 2007.</span></div>HOW2 Updateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00032221082316702159noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794024708458988617.post-62778795756584162402007-01-09T13:41:00.000-08:002007-01-09T13:45:54.244-08:00CALL FOR CREATIVE WORK/PAPERS: eco poetics and women writers<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Eco-Poetics Special Feature</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Co-ordinator: Harriet Tarlo</span></span><br /><br /><br />What is the relationship of linguistic innovation, spatial practices and formal concerns in poetry to ecology, environment and its associated politics?<br /><br />How do you feel about/deal with the association of women with nature in our culture, past and present, and, indeed, in some environmental politics and eco-criticism?<br /><br />Can modernist and contemporary experimental writing encompass, infringe upon, engage with the global? How does poetry participate in local or regional issues?<br /><br />Can eco-poetics intersect effectively with other global political issues? Should it? What is our/your priority?<br /><br />(Why) does eco-criticism identify itself closely with realist and non-fiction writing and often not poetics?<br /><br />How might modernist/experimental writing and eco-critical discourse learn from each other?<br />Do you believe in eco-feminism? What is its relationship to a formulation of a possible eco-poetics?<br /><br />Are these questions that engage you and/or feature in your creative work?
