Meeting Description:

The 2024 PALA (Poetics And Linguistics Association) conference will be
held at Sheffield Hallam University on 26-29 June 2024.

Special Interest Group on Ecostylistics: The Stylistics of Landscape,
Place and Environment

Convenors:

Daniela Francesca Virdis, University of Cagliari (dfvirdis at unica.it)
Elisabetta Zurru, University of Genoa (elisabetta.zurru at unige.it)

A workshop of the PALA LAND Special Interest Group
(https://www.pala.ac.uk/land-sig.html) on the stylistics of landscape,
place and environment will be led by Daniela Francesca Virdis
(University of Cagliari) and Elisabetta Zurru (University of Genoa).

Its primary aim will be to survey current stylistic approaches to
concepts of landscape, place and environment (and related concepts
such as space, setting, cityscape, etc.), against the backdrop of one
of the prominent challenges the world is facing: the ecological and
climate emergency. Secondary aims include developing stylistic
practice in 'place-based' stylistics (e.g. ecopoetics, the stylistics
of tourism, etc.) and facilitating an exchange of ideas between
scholars with similar interests, with a view to future collaborative
research efforts.

Papers are invited on:

• Ecopoetics
• Ecoliteracy
• Animals and their natural/non-natural environments
• Human-animal interactions
• Discourses of tourism
• Landscape, place and belonging (e.g. as in post-colonial
literatures)
• The style of specific writers in their representations of
landscapes, spaces and the environment
• Landscape/space/environment in non-literary texts and discourses

This list is suggestive rather than exhaustive and other concerns and
approaches which fit into the broad aims of the SIG would be most
welcome.

If you wish to submit an abstract for this SIG, you need to click on
YES on the submission form at

when asked about Special Interest Groups. The deadline for abstracts
is 15 January 2024.

Non-PALA members are also very welcome to submit an abstract and
present a paper at the conference.
