Vol 15 Mobilizing Natures: Militarism and the Environment

Given the plurality of ways nature has been mobilized in the service of conflict and violence, the UnderCurrents Editorial Collective invites art and written work for Vol 15, Mobilizing Nature.

Submissions should address any aspect of militarism and the environment, including but not limited to:

• the environmental impacts of war and violent conflicts
• spaces of security
• militant activism
• mixing metaphors of war and nature
• terrorism and the construction of borders
• historical approaches to understanding conflict and nature
• biological warfare
• military environments

Founded in 1988, /UnderCurrents/ is an independent non-profit journal produced by students at the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University. We publish creative and critical writing, artwork, and photography that explore relationships between nature, society, and self. Submissions are welcome from any field and especially from perspectives that challenge the conventional boundaries of academic and environmental discussion.

Electronic submissions are preferred. Include name, address, brief bio, email and phone number. Please submit artwork in b&w, at least 5x7, 600 dpi, .tiff files, and text in .doc to the e-mail address provided below. Deadline for submissions, October 1, 2005.

The Collective will work closely with authors whose work has been selected and will provide feedback and editorial support. UnderCurrents policy encourages authors to avoid the use of discriminatory discourse (eg. racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.)
