Statt Pegasus Werbeagentur #Magdeburg heißt es diese Woche: #Akademienunion #Mainz.
So sieht mobiler Austausch aus – von der Kreativszene zur Wissenschaftscommunity oder:

„Kreativität verstehen. Wissenschaft gestalten.“

I am so excited to present our special issue on "Trans Natures" in medieval literature: scholarworks.wmich.edu/med_ecocriti...

The intro is free to read. Thanks to the journal’s flexible policies, some authors have also posted their articles on their personal sites…. #MedievalSky #EnvHum #EcoCrit

Cover of Medieval Ecocriticisms volume 4. Includes a medieval illustration of a half-bird siren looking in a mirror and a centaur looking over their shoulder (from Getty MS Ludwig XV 3, folio 78).

Table of contents: Intro by Nat Rivkin and Aylin Malcolm; “Settler Fantasies and Queer Disruptions: A Nonbinary Reading of Gerald’s Wolves” (SARAH LAVOY-BRUNETTE AND JORDAN CHAUNCY); “Birds, Blood, and Nonbinary Bodies in Marie de France’s Yonec” (AYLIN MALCOLM); “Cautious Lion, Canny Woman: Queer Animality in La Response du bestiaire” (TESS WINGARD); “Trans Activisms and Interspecies Entanglement in the Middle English Patience” (ELLIS LIGHT); “Of Giantesses, Greenland, and Trans Ecology in Jökuls þáttr Búasonar” (BASIL A. PRICE); “Trans Antagonisms and Affirmations in Henry Medwall’s Nature” (MICAH JAMES GOODRICH)
