SUMMARY:EACLALS Europe Branch of ACLALS - Triennial Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:Imagining environmental justice in a postcolonial world. Sorbonne Nouvelle University\, Paris\, France. \nThe 18th triennial conference of the European Association for Commonwealth Literature and Language Studies (EACLALS)\, takes place in Paris\, 6-10 June 2023. The initiative is supported by the French Society for Postcolonial Studies (SEPC/Société des Études Postcoloniales) and Sorbonne Nouvelle University\, which will provide the venue for the event. The EACLALS conference was last held in France in 1988\, in Nice. \nFurther information can be obtained here and from: EACLALS2023@sorbonne-nouvelle.fr \nRegistration details are available here. \nConfirmed keynote speakers:\nAmanda Boetzkes (University of Guelph\, Canada)\nElizabeth DeLoughrey (University of California\, Los Angeles\, US)\nGraham Huggan (University of Leeds\, UK)\nClaire Omhovère (Université Paul Valéry – Montpellier 3\, France)\nImre Szeman (University of Toronto Scarborough\, Canada) \nThe conference theme for 2023\, Imagining Environmental Justice in a Postcolonial World\, invites delegates to bring postcolonial literatures and arts into conversation with environmentalism; investigate the power of narratives in all literary genres\, as well as images and artistic performances\, to evoke environmental injustice; and explore the breadth of what environmental justice may mean in postcolonial contexts. \nThe global ecological and climate crisis is strongly linked to modernity and its history of imperialism\, colonisation\, capitalism\, and exploitation of resources. Postcolonial literatures\nforeground these connections: key texts include Nadine Gordimer’s The Conservationist (1974)\,\nJudith Wright’s “For a Pastoral Family” (1985)\, Patricia Grace’s Potiki (1986)\, Thomas King’s\nGreen Grass\, Running Water (1999)\, Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide (2005)\, Alexis Wright’s\nCarpentaria (2006)\, Helon Habila’s Oil on Water (2011)\, Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner’s “Tell Them”\n(2012)\, Uzma Aslam Khan’s Thinner than Skin (2012)\, and Imbolo Mbue’s How Beautiful We\nWere (2021). These powerful stories reveal the colonial origins of ecological devastation and its\ndramatic consequences for the Global South. These texts have also prompted new theoretical\nconcepts such as the “slow violence” of delayed destruction (Nixon 2013) and the\n“plantationocene” (Haraway 2015).
