Abstract
The AIZEN editorial team is very proud to present Volume XXXII (2021) of Excavatio, the International Review for Multidisciplinary Approaches and Comparative Studies Related to Émile Zola and Naturalism Around the World, which comprises eight articles from distinguished contributors from the United States, Canada, France, Hungary, and New Zealand. It is the first volume to be published under the leadership of the new AIZEN President and Editor-in-Chief of Excavatio, Juliana Starr, and also the first volume to be published since the advent of the Covid 19 pandemic. Offering a wide variety of critical approaches to Émile Zola and naturalism – historical, scientific, feminist, and aesthetic – the volume celebrates the ongoing relevance of naturalism in our world today, underlining our indebtedness to the movement on a broad range of pertinent topics including the role of science in treating trauma, the harmfulness of rape culture, the plight of impoverished children, the importance of physical fitness, the function and meaning of technical objects, the interrelationships between the arts, the significance of new resources for research, and the relationships between humans and animals.
