Aims & Scope

Lagoonscapes. The Venice Journal of Environmental Humanities is a digital, open-access, international, and trans-disciplinary journal based at The New Institute Center for Environmental Humanities of Ca’ Foscari University in Venice. Lagoonscapes welcomes submissions from all the core disciplines of the Environmental Humanities, including literary and media studies, critical theory, visual arts, environmental and cultural history, political theory, and anthropology. Contributions are subject to a double-blind peer review process and are published by Edizioni Ca’ Foscari. The journal aims to promote a cross-disciplinary dialogue on contemporary and historical environmental issues, investigating relationships with non-human forms of life and the natural world from decolonial, feminist, and activist perspectives. Venice and its lagoon are a privileged location for sensing and interrogating the effects of human activity and climate change regarding the biological, cultural, and social dynamics of local ecosystems. The journal is associated with the pioneering Master in Environmental Humanities offered by Ca’ Foscari University and it aspires to become an international platform for scholars, artists, and activists to engage with the growing field of the Environmental Humanities.

  • This special issue of Lagoonscapes gathers pedagogical reflections, teaching concepts, and experiments developed by university teachers across Europe who work in conversation with the field of the Environmental Humanities. Amidst the escalating climate crisis, accelerated by a resurgence of right-wing nationalisms and ongoing systems of environmental injustice, learning how to teach (and learn) with, through, and about socio-ecological precarity, interdependencies, and enmeshment is a crucial and increasingly urgent task that requires an expansion of traditional methodologies and subject matters. With an emphasis on place-based, creative, and collaborative approaches to pedagogy, this collection features contributions from the UK, Ireland, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Italy, Poland, Sweden, and Belgium that foreground interdisciplinary dialogues – from literary and cultural studies, to visual and conceptual art, maritime history, ethnography, and (coastal) archaeology. Committed to an understanding of Environmental Humanities teaching as education for change, many contributions take the learning process beyond customary classroom settings and foster conversations between critical EH theory and embodied, situated experience.
