Call for Papers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract Submission Deadline: 30 September 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Emily Dickinson International Society, in collaboration with the Wenshan Conference, invites proposals for papers and panels at its international conference \u201cDickinson and Ecologies<\/strong>,\u201d scheduled to take place at the Department of English, College of Foreign Languages & Literature, National Chengchi University, Taipei, Taiwan, from Thursday, June 19 to Sunday, June 22, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The English prefix \u201ceco-\u201d derives from the Greek word \u201coikos<\/em>,\u201d a word closely associated with one\u2019s dwelling place. While the word \u201ceco-\u201d in Chinese is often related to the concepts of home\/family\/community (\u201c\u5bb6\u5712\u201d\/\u201cjiayuan<\/em>\u201d) or environmental protection\/energy conservation (\u201c\u74b0\u4fdd\u201d \/ \u201chuanbao<\/em>\u201d), the Mandarin translation of the word \u201cecology\u201d is \u201c\u751f\u614b\u201d (\u201cshengtai<\/em>\u201d), a term that can refer to \u201cthe conditions of all lives\u201d in the Chinese language. Can Dickinson\u2019s writings provide various ways of thinking about ecology in its multiple forms? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickinson often resorts to the human to explain the nonhuman world, as it happens in \u201cA Route of Evanescence,\u201d in which a hummingbird fluttering by is hypothesized as \u201cThe Mail from Tunis \u2013 probably \u2013\u201d (c. 1879). In some other instances, Dickinson would emphasize what is most alien in the non-human world. In \u201cI heard a Fly buzz \u2013 when I died \u2013\u201d (c. 1863), the speaker encounters an arthropodal visitor that disrupts the process of dying with its \u201cBlue \u2013 uncertain \u2013 stumbling Buzz \u2013 \/ Between the light \u2013 and me \u2013\u201d (c. 1863). Elsewhere she finds the non-human world a site of what is unfamiliar or exotic in the human, as when she says \u201cHis oriental heresies \/ Exhilirate the Bee\u201d (c. 1881); but just as often she sees that what is most unfamiliar may be fitly situated in its own biome: \u201cPity \u2013 the Pard \u2013 that left her Asia \u2013 \/ Memories \u2013 of Palm \u2013 \/ Cannot be stifled \u2013 with Narcotic \u2013 \/ Nor suppressed \u2013 with Balm \u2013 \u201d (c. 1862). Human diversity and biodiversity may be inseparable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wenshan District, where NCCU is located, is well-known for its biodiversity, mountainous terrain, and tea culture, as well as its proximity to the Taipei Zoo, one of the most famous zoological gardens in Taiwan. Wenshan in Chinese literally means \u201cliterary mountains,\u201d explicitly conveying the theme of cultivation. As such, NCCU is a particularly appropriate site to consider Dickinson as a person and poet. Indeed, Dickinson is as much a gardener as a poet. Her poems often engage that liminal space between human order and the unsettled nonhuman world, asking us to reconceptualize our relationship with our surroundings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, our conference seeks to address Dickinson as an eco-poet through an interdisciplinary and\/or transcultural lens. It invites papers, panels, workshops, artworks, and collaborative projects that explore Dickinson and ecological imaginations. It also seeks to examine how eco-critics have used Dickinson\u2019s works to understand the human-nonhuman relationship and its relevance to our contemporary environmental crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Organizing Committee welcomes all works on the concept of ecology, broadly understood, in Dickinson\u2019s writing and beyond. The topics include, but are not restricted to, the following themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
