>  The inaugural conference of ASLE-ANZ takes as its theme Friedrich 
> Nietzsche’s injunction in Thus Spake Zarathustra to “be true to the 
> earth.” The organizers of the conference invite papers that engage 
> with the question of what it might mean to ‘be true’ to ‘the earth’ in 
> relation to their own work, whether creative, critical, or reflective, 
> as well as with regard to the particular location(s) of their work, 
> whether in place, time or other (cultural, social, institutional) 
> contexts. In particular, we welcome papers which address this theme in 
> relation to:
> * literatures, philosophies and practices of place, especially in 
> Australia and New Zealand
> * poetics, politics and practical action
> * indigenous, intercultural or cross-cultural perspectives
>  * rural, urban or suburban ecologies
> * non-modern, counter-modern or postmodern perspectives
>  * interspecies ethics, poetics or communication
>  * reinhabitation, dislocation and social justice
> *  ecocriticism and cultural studies
> * ecocriticism and religious studies
> * ecocriticism and European critical theory.
