Dear all, Below is a Call for Proposals that may be of interest to some of you. We’re looking for contributions to an edited volume on space and the nonhuman in narrative. Our focus will be on how the materiality of space shapes certain kinds of narratives (and readers’ imagination thereof), creating a platform for thinking beyond the human scale. The collection aims to bring narrative theory and cognitive approaches to literature into a conversation with the nonhuman turn. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch! All the best, David, Marco, and Marlene Call for Proposals…
