[Commlist] Call for Papers Nature in Virtual Worlds: Digital Environmental Humanities

CFP: Nature in Virtual Worlds: Digital Environmental Humanities

We are pleased to announce that [sic] – a journal of literature,
culture and literary translation invites submissions for the upcoming
December issue.
We invite scholars from across the humanities and sciences to submit
original contributions that explore the ways in which virtual and
digital worlds engage with issues of nature, ecology, and
environmental justice. Topics may include (but are not limited to):
• Virtual landscapes and ecological representation: How are virtual
worlds representing, simulating, or intervening in our perceptions of
nature?
• Digital environmental storytelling: The role of narratives in
gaming, VR, and other media in fostering ecological awareness.
• Climate change in digital spaces: How do virtual environments
depict, critique, or influence conversations around climate change and
environmental crises?
• Virtual nature as a site of activism: How do digital platforms serve
as spaces for environmental movements, advocacy, and collective
action?
• Nature in immersive technologies: Exploring the potential of AR, VR,
and gaming to shape ecological consciousness.
• Ecocriticism in the digital era: New forms of ecocriticism that
engage with digital, virtual, and immersive technologies.
• Biofeedback and digital ecosystems: Interactions between humans and
digital ecosystems and how they model or simulate biological systems.
• We welcome papers from a variety of disciplines, including but not
limited to environmental studies, media studies, digital humanities,
literature, cultural studies, and philosophy. Submissions should
engage with the role of digital technology in both reflecting and
shaping our relationship with the natural world.
