Roy Christopher's 2014 Summer Reading List
Jeffrey Jerome Cohen has taken the impulse to color in another direction. His searching edited collectionPrismatic Ecology: Ecotheory Beyond Green (University of Minnesota Press, 2014) does exactly what it’s title says: It pushes way beyond traditional “green” readings of nature, environment, and ecology. The chapters find deep reservoirs of semiotic value and biotic interplay across the spectrum of colors, reaching into perceptual zones as seemingly unnatural and alien as x-ray and ultraviolet. Collectively, this book comprises a tour de force that could be the core of an entire seminar on cutting edge environmental theory. (I plan to adopt the book this way in an environmental humanities seminar at Loyola University New Orleans in the near future.)
Allotment Stories: Daniel Heath Justice and Jean M. O'Brien.
Saving Animals: Elan Abrell and Kathryn (Katie) Gillespie on sanctuary, care, ethics.
Making creative laborers for a precarious economy: Josef Nguyen, Carly Kocurek, and Patrick LeMieux.
