Explosions, collisions, arrests, threats, and insults abound.\u201d\u00a0 Rust is the underside of cosmopolis. Rust belts follow industry and its corrosions; the parasitic Rust fungi are enemies of agriculture. And yet there is an irenic side to rust: it inspires contemplation, the search for beauty, and the effort to defend what is threatened. As an agent of time, rust sponsors stories of collapse-and-recovery, evolution-and-extinction, but it also questions them. Narratives of progress that see rust as the enemy are not universal. In Japanese aesthetics, for instance,\u00a0<em>sabi<\/em>\u00a0is the beauty of natural aging and aged materials; what is new is not as lovely as what has weathered. In a time obsessed by environmental apocalypse, rust may reveal other trajectories for cultures of recovery.\u00a0<em>Resurget Cineribus<\/em>, \u201cIt Will Rise from the Ashes,\u201d is the motto of Detroit\u2014our host city.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Long associated with steel, car culture, and the music of Motown, Detroit is also a site of struggle for racial and environmental justice, against depopulation and \u201cruin porn,\u201d and for the preservation of artistic heritage. A nexus of encounters between indigenous nations and the French fur trade, it became a locus of the Great Migration, \u201cwhite flight,\u201d and gentrification. Water-rich on the strait between Lake Huron and Lake Erie, Detroit and its neighbors struggle against corroded infrastructure and government corruption. For all those reasons, Detroit is an ideal place to confer about rust, resistance, and recovery.\u00a0<strong>We invite participants to interpret the conference theme as broadly as possible and to imagine their work in terms of content\u00a0<em>and\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0form<\/strong>. We particularly encourage non-traditional modes of presentation, including hybrid, performative and collaborative works; panels that minimize formal presentation in favor of engaged emergent discussion; interdisciplinary approaches; environmentally inflected readings of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, film, theatre and other media; and proposals from outside the academic humanities, including submissions from artists, writers, teachers, practitioners, activists and colleagues in the social and natural sciences.<\/p>\n<p>Proposals must be submitted online at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/asle.submittable.com\/submit\">https:\/\/asle.submittable.com\/submit<\/a><\/p>\n<p>All proposals must be submitted by December 12, 2016.
