The ASLE Online Bibliography, 2000–2010 The Association for the Study of Literature and Environment The ASLE Online Bibliography, 2000–2010 Editor's Note “Have you read . ?” “You should read. .” “Can anyone recommend good articles, essays, poems, or books about . ?” Sharing of bibliographical references must rank among the most frequent activities in any academic community. Informal exchanges of bibliographic information occur at every conference and on every e-mail list. On the listserv of the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE), from its inception to today, long-established netiquette has called for folks who have posted requests for bibliographical references to compile the suggestions and post them back to the group. Listserv archives were (and are) available and searchable, but finding bibliographic information in those archives is not a trivial task. And in the early 1990s, academic bibliographies such as the MLA International Bibliography did not index many sources of interest to the emerging interdisciplinary field of ecocriticism. Accordingly, from 1990 to 1997, ASLE produced annual or biennial annotated bibliographies. Working with volunteer bibliographers, the editors of the ASLE Bibliography compiled entries in MLA format, accompanied by one-sentence abstracts, paragraph-length summaries, and keywords from a custom list of terms designed to reflect the work and concerns of ecocriticism. Those invaluable bibliographies were printed in an 8.5 x 11” format and sold to members to cover printing costs. Creating an annual, printed bibliography with few resources and a volunteer staff amounted to a Herculean task, and the fruits of that labor could be distributed only once every year or two. So, when the job of editor opened up in the late 90s, I began exploring with ASLE’s Executive Council the possibility of creating an online bibliography. We designed a site that would enable all ASLE members—and members of the public, for that matter—to contribute bibliographic entries and annotations via Web-based forms, allowing us to compile formatted entries, update the online database daily, enable electronic searches, and offer comprehensive printable versions on a regular basis with very little additional effort. That process took some time. For the years 1998-99, the book review staff of ASLE's journal, ISLE, prepared a working bibliography. In July 2000, the ASLE Online Bibliography began accepting submissions and has operated continuously for the past decade. Throughout that period, ASLE’s organizational Web site has also hosted various subject-specific bibliographies contributed by members (see http://www.asle.org/site/resources/ecocritical- library/bibliography/). As academic bibliographies, databases, journals, newsletters, blogs, and other resources have migrated online over the past ten years, and search engines such as Google have helped us recover information from the far corners of the Internet, the need for ASLE to host its own online bibliography has lessened. We will surely want to maintain the culture of sharing topic-specific bibliographic information that has characterized the ASLE listserv for years, perhaps supplementing that resource through a section of ASLE’s new Web site or branching out with social media tools. For now, though, it is time to the ASLE Online Bibliography to retire. This final compiled edition the ASLE Online Bibliography includes 1,361 entries submitted as of 31 December 2010. The materials covered were, for the most part, published between 1999 and 2010. They consist of scholarly and creative works in multiple media related to the relationships between human cultures, especially language and literature, broadly conceived, and the non-human environment. The bibliography also contains 106 abstracts of presentations at the ASLE conference held June 21-25, 2005 at the University of Oregon in Eugene, as well as a number of entries for in-progress and completed dissertations in the field of environmental humanities. Entries were submitted voluntarily by ASLE members and reflect contributors’ individual interests, though I should note the special efforts of several “generations” of graduate student assistants working with ISLE’s book review editor, Michael Branch, each of whom contributed multiple entries for books submitted to ISLE for review. For the most part, then, “The ASLE Online Bibliography, 2000-2010” occupies a unique niche in the bibliographic landscape, providing a record of what a voluntary cross-section of members were reading over the past decade and felt moved to share with their colleagues. In general, the text of entries appear in this volume as submitted via the Web forms. Each entry has been formatted as closely to MLA bibliographic style as our software could produce, and includes any annotations submitted for each item (entries variously contain no annotation, a one-sentence abstract, a longer summary, or a short abstract and a longer summary). The collection is arranged in standard alphabetic order and has been spellchecked mechanically (i.e., I have corrected any typos that Microsoft Word recognizes as spelling errors). Formatting has ASLE Online Bibliography, 2000–2010 Page i been regularized (e.g., word processing text pasted into the Web forms appears as running text, even if the original contained bulleted lists, and text styles—italics, bold—are generally not reproduced in the annotations). As much as possible, problems with text encoding (e.g., special characters rendered as codes when processed online) have been resolved. Beyond that, the text of the bibliography appears “as is.” The photographs embedded throughout the bibliography appeared, at one time or another, on the home page of the ASLE Online Bibliography. One photograph perhaps deserves special mention. Over the past decade, the oak tree whose image graced the masthead of the ASLE Online Bibliography Web site (see below) reached the end of its life and has since been removed from the field just east of my house. I miss it, as I will miss the ASLE Online Bibliography, but they both reached their allotted time after productive lives. Many people—too many to mention individually—deserve thanks for their work on the bibliography. ASLE Executive Council members have supported and guided the project throughout. The College of Humanities at The Ohio State University provided server space for the Web site. And many ASLE members have generously contributed to this “gift exchange,” taking time from their busy lives to share notes about their reading with their colleagues. Finally, I thank my wife, Pat, who accompanied me on every one of the walks during which the photographs accompanying this collection were taken, and whose sense of adventure and commitment to living in a healthy relationship with her human and non-human environment has been a model to me for 35 years.

The Environmental Justice Reader: Politics, Poetics, & Pedagogy. Tucson: The University of Arizona Press, 2002. Print. This wide-ranging collection expands the field of environmental justice by re-connecting politics, poetics, and pedagogy, addressing a variety of environmental issues and social identities, and pointing the way beyond critiques of environmental injustice toward models of sustainability. This is a landmark in environmental justice criticism: as much as any single volume could be, it's a summation and expansion of environmental justice work to date. The editors offer a clear, concise introduction to environmental justice theory and practice, and the chapters refer back to and build on seminal environmental justice texts. -- Joni Adamson, Mei Mei Evans, and Rachel Stein: "Introduction: Environmental Justice Politics, Poetics, and Pedagogy."

    Bourbon, Ray (1892?-1971) by Claude J. Summers Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Legendary drag performer and recording artist Ray (or Rae) Bourbon appeared in silent movies, vaudeville acts, Broadway plays, and, from the 1930s through the 1960s, performed across the United States in a gay nightclub circuit. Often arrested by the police for his "indecent" performances and for dressing in drag, Bourbon was ultimately convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and died in prison. Bourbon deliberately obscured his origins, sometimes even claiming that he was "the last of the Hapsburg Bourbons," but he was probably born Hal Waddell in Texarkana, Texas sometime around 1892. In the early 1920s, Bourbon worked as a stuntman in Hollywood and appeared in several silent films, sometimes in drag. He then teamed up with Bert Sherry in a successful vaudeville act, "Bourbon and Sherry," in which Sherry played the straight man to Bourbon's flamboyant drag persona. He soon attracted the attention of Mae West, who in 1927 cast him in two of her plays--Sex and Pleasure Man. Both were raided by police who were attempting to "clean up" Broadway. Bourbon later appeared as an extra in West's movies and in supporting roles in productions of her plays. In the early 1930s, Bourbon recorded the first of his many risqué records. He also began to appear in the "pansy clubs" that sprouted in Hollywood in an attempt to capitalize on the "pansy craze" in New York during the late 1920s. Bourbon created and starred in a drag revue called "Boys Will Be Girls." After the police shut down the Los Angeles establishments, he moved his show to San Francisco.

  • Politics of Care
    THE POLITICS OF CARE' Laura T. Kessler INTRODUCTION Can family caregiving be a form of political resistance or expression? It can, especially when done by people ordinarily denied the privilege of family privacy by the state. Feminist and queer theorists within law have, for the most part, over- looked this aspect of caregiving, regarding unpaid family labor as a source of gender-based oppression or as an undervalued public commodity. Conse- quently, prominent feminist and queer legal theorists have set their sights on wage work1 or sexual liberation2 as more promising sources of emancipation for women. Although other legal feminists continue to focus on the problem of devalued family labor, these theorists tend to justify increased support for care work primarily on the benefits it confers on children and society, on liberal theories of societal obligation, on ending gender oppression, or on simple hu- man needs.3 This article examines a less well-explored conception of family caregiving within the feminist and queer legal theory literature, revealing the way that family caregiving can be a liberating practice for caregivers qua caregivers. Specifically, care work can constitute an affirmative political practice of resis- tance to a host of discriminatory institutions and ideologies, including the fam- ily, workplace, and state, as well as patriarchy, racism, and homophobia. I label such political work "transgressive caregiving" and locate it most centrally- * Professor of Law, University of Utah; email: [email protected].

Native pollinators in the Credit River watershed co-evolved with the native plants in the region. They are best suited to successfully pollinate native flowering plants and get pollen or nectar from them. These are some common native pollinators that you can attract to your property: • Eastern Tiger • Red Admiral Butterfly • Frigid Leaf Cutter Bee Swallowtail Butterfly • Little Wood-satyr Butterfly • Bicolored Sweat Bee Nardone • Clouded Sulphur Butterfly • Common Eastern • Hummingbird Clearwing Moth Erika • Northern Azure Butterfly Bumble Bee • Virginia Ctenucha Moth • Monarch Butterfly • Tricolored Bumble Bee Photo: Sweat Bee on Black-eyed Susan Pollination Pollination is an essential process of plant life. Pollen from the stamen (male part of the flower) is transferred to the pistol (female part of the flower) allowing a plant to produce seeds that become the next generation. The transfer of pollen almost always requires an outside influence, such as wind or animals. Animals that help pollinate flowers are known as pollinators. All flowering plant species produce pollen, a source of protein for many insects. Many flowers also produce nectar, a sugar-based high energy food. Both pollen and nectar attract pollinators Morber Nardone Nardone to flowers. They move from flower-to-flower, feeding and collecting food, unintentionally Brian Erika Erika transferring pollen from one plant to another. This is called cross-pollination and it ensures Photo: genetic diversity and resilience.
