NEW JOURNAL ISSUE AND CFP - Australian Humanities Review [08.06.2009]
AHR 46: May 2009 now out & call for papers for 2010
The May 2009 issue of Australian Humanities Review is now online at:
www.australianhumanitiesreview.org
The new issue leads with Paul Genoni and Gaby Haddow's analysis of the contentious ERA journal rankings and Peter Otto on Romanticism and Virtual Reality. A special section on 'Naturecultures', inspired by the work of Bruno Latour and Actor-Network Theory, features essays by Gay Hawkins, Michael Dieter, Emily Potter and Zoë Sofoulis. The Ecological Humanities features Val Plumwood's 'Nature in the Active Voice', the essay she was working on before her untimely death in February 2008, and responses to Plumwood's work from Thom van Dooren, Kate Rigby, Gerda Roelvink and J.K. Gibson-Graham. And there is the usual range of book reviews, from Simon Robb's review of Ross Gibson's Summer Exercises to Ed Wright's appreciation of the new edition of G.A. Wilkes' Stunned Mullets and Two-pot Screamers.
