is now online at <a href="http://www.australianhumanitiesreview.org/">www.australianhumanitiesreview.org</a>.
The new issue leads with Paul Genoni and Gaby Haddow’s analysis of the
contentious ERA journal rankings and Peter Otto on Romanticism and Virtual
Reality. A special section on ‘Naturecultures’, inspired by the
work of Bruno Latour and Actor-Network Theory, features essays by <st1:PersonName
w:st="on">Gay Hawkins</st1:PersonName>, Michael Dieter, Emily Potter and Zoë
Sofoulis. The Ecological Humanities features Val Plumwood’s ‘Nature
in the Active Voice’, the essay she was working on before her untimely
death in February 2008, and responses to Plumwood’s work from Thom van
Dooren, Kate Rigby, Gerda Roelvink and J.K. Gibson-Graham. And there is the
usual range of book reviews, from Simon Robb’s review of Ross Gibson’s
<i><span style='font-style:italic'>Summer Exercises</span></i> to Ed Wright’s
appreciation of the new edition of G.A. Wilkes’ <i><span
