Call For Papers:  Ongoing  A - M

These calls for papers do not have a specific deadline date.  Most are from Journals, but some are for book proposals.

AmeriCultures.Org 

AmeriCultures.Org is a new and developing website offering a
mediated academic journal. For further information and online
submission, please go to www.AmeriCultures.org 

Our developing e-journal (the Journal of Folklife and Culture in the Americas -- JFCA) and other site benefits will be entirely dedicated to the publication of folklife, cultural anthropology, and human  interest items that are produced in a multimedia format for the general public. We also anticipate such things as an annual conference that will be netcast, an annual on-line conference, and various research-related competitions and awards. Eventually, we hope to publish a paper-based journal as well.

It is our widest hopes that AmeriCultures.Org will become a venue in which academics may have a creative outlet and general public appeal, for all writers interested in folklife and culture to have the  possibility of future by-word payment for their articles -- much like journalists and creative writers do, and for the general public to be informed of and entertained by the world that we live in.

We will accept articles devoted to the close understanding of peoples of all of the Americas; our site will have English, French, and  Spanish versions.

Beacham's Encyclopedia of Popular Fiction

Seeking contributors for Beacham's Encyclopedia of Popular Fiction, an ongoing print reference series recently acquired by the Gale Group that offers analytical essays on the popular works of more than four hundred authors, including John Grisham, Stephen King, Mary Higgins Clark, Paul Anderson, John Updike, and Andre Norton.  

Popular Fiction entries average 5,000 words in length and feature an assessment of each work that is broken down according to several distinct categories: social concerns, themes, characters, techniques, literary precedents, related titles, and ideas for group discussion. The series--designed for students, instructors, librarians, and general readers--is unique in offering scholarly discussion of fiction that is not commonly afforded serious analytical treatment.

Ideal candidate will possess a master's degree in English, a clear and concise writing style appropriate in tone and reading level for a high-school audience, e-mail, and Y2K compliant software (MS Word 97, WordPerfect 8.0 or upgrades of either). Ability to meet deadlines is crucial. 

We offer a $150 honorarium (paid upon acceptance) for each assignment. In addition, essayists will receive a complimentary copy of the book upon publication, and will be recognized with a byline at the conclusion of each entry and in a special acknowledgments section in the book's frontmatter.

Those interested in contributing to Beacham's Encyclopedia of Popular Fiction should submit a resume and short, unpublished writing sample (approximately five pages) for consideration. Include the phrase "RE: JP-1" on cover letter or e-mail subject line and send to: 
judith.pyko@galegroup.com 

or

Judith Pyko

Farmington Hills, MI 48331-3535


Suitable candidates will be contacted by assignment editor, who can provide more comprehensive specifications, a list of available assignments, and details regarding deadlines.

Cultural Spaces

Cultural Spaces, a new series from the University of Toronto Press, explores the rapidly changing temporal, spatial, and theoretical boundaries of contemporary cultural studies. Culture has long been understood as the force that defines and delimits societies in fixed spaces. The recent intensification of globalizing processes, however, has meant that it is no longer possible - if it ever was - to imagine the world as a collection of autonomous, monadic spaces, whether these are imagined as localities, nations, regions within nations, or cultures demarcated by region or nation. One of the major challenges of studying contemporary culture is to understand the new relationships of culture to space that are produced today. The aim of this series is to publish bold new analyses and theories of the spaces of culture, as well as investigations of the historical construction of those cultural spaces that have influenced the shape of the contemporary world.

Discourses in Dance

A new journal from Laban Centre London in 2002
redefining dance research

Discourses in Dance
Volume 1 2002

Aims and scope
Discourses in Dance is an international, peer-reviewed, bi-annual journal covering research in the field of dance and related areas. The Journal aims to promote the development of dance research in the international academic field. Articles address the rapidly expanding discipline of dance studies as it is developing through scholarly and artistic forms of dance research.

Discourses in Dance presents a platform for research which interrogates dance as a cultural practice. The journal encourages the testing of new methodologies against existing paradigms and the examining of dance in relation to critical theories, cultural studies, and cognate disciplines. Priority will be given to essays that explore dance's engagement with more general social and political values and concerns, including but not limited to issues of dance and ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and the impact of new technologies.

Discourses in Dance is particularly committed to the building of broad based and diverse coalitions of scholars and artists, and to exploring areas currently under-represented in published dance scholarship.

Readership
Discourse in Dance will be of interest to dance scholars, lecturers,
researchers, artists, students and other dance professionals, as well as
academics and scholars from other fields.

Contributions
Manuscripts to be considered for publication should be submitted to the

Henry Street: A Graduate Review of Literary Studies 

Henry Street, now entering its tenth year of publication, is an international forum for graduate students of English and related disciplines. We invite submission of original and scholarly contributions to current research on literatures in English from all historical periods, material culture, pedagogy, and critical theory. In addition to welcoming papers from a broad range of critical perspectives, the journal is particularly receptive to unconventional or personal approaches that open new avenues of investigation in literary and cultural criticism.

We welcome submissions on all literary topics at any time. We feature a special focus in each issue, which also feature articles on general topics. Some upcoming special topics are:

   Henry Street  9.2 - TECHNOLOGY

    deadline: April 1, 2001

Graduate students and recent graduates are encouraged to submit critical  and occasional essays, short fiction, and poetry. Chapters of theses and  conference papers are acceptable, provided they are sufficiently edited  and rigorous enough to stand alone as critical articles.

We especially invite submissions for our regular "Negotiations" feature.  In this section of the journal we present a graduate student essay foregrounding or critiquing the ideas of a well-established scholar and  that scholar's reply. "Negotiations" is intended to be a stimulating meeting point for the ideas of graduate students and senior members of the profession. Should we be unable to obtain a response from your chosen interlocutor, your essay will proceed to publication as a regular article. Past exchanges have included student Andrew Lesk and Professor Robert Lecker on canonicity and the university, and student Cheryl Cowdy Crawford and author Douglas Glover on Deleuze and Guattari and Glover's novel The Life and Times of Captain N.

Henry Street is indexed by the MLA and the Canadian Periodicals Index.

To be considered for publication, submissions must be double-spaced throughout (including endnotes and works cited) and follow MLA guidelines for citation and presentation.

Intensities: the Online Journal of Cult Media

The International Journal of Politics and Ethics

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new scholarly journal, The International Journal of Politics and Ethics (IJPE). The first issue of the journal is scheduled for publication in March 2001. 

We invite contributions from scholars working in any discipline engaged in research that examines politics and ethics, construed broadly, including their possible intersections. IJPE publishes book reviews, and we welcome offers to review recently published books. 

AIMS AND SCOPE

The International Journal of Politics and Ethics is published on behalf of the Center for International Politics and Ethics at New England College. It is intended as a forum for diverse interests and attitudes in all matters relating to politics and ethics, including their possible intersections. It is designed to encourage the exploration of matters of theory as well as broad issues arising from empirical contexts and the practical application of theory. No topic of critical interest is excluded from consideration, and the following are all within the purview of the journal: comparative and international politics; political philosophy and ethical theory; intellectual, legal and political history; and interdisciplinary material that discusses substantive social, political, and ethical problems of public concern.

Each issue contains full-length articles, shorter discussion articles and commentaries, book reviews, and occasionally correspondence. The final issue of each volume of the journal is dedicated to a special theme, to be announced in advance. The journal is open to the work of all scholars wherever they may be.

NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS

Articles are welcome from scholars within various disciplines—-including economics, history, international relations, law, philosophy, political science, religion/theology, and sociology—-which are able to bring their distinctive methodologies to bear on issues of interest to a broad readership. Unsolicited book reviews are accepted and offers to review books are welcome. Manuscripts are judged on their quality of writing as well as their relevance to public affairs. Manuscripts accepted for review are evaluated by a minimum of two scholars active in the field. Because we use anonymous peer reviews, copies of the article should have separate title pages. Submitted manuscripts must fit the following criteria:

1. Three hard copies of all manuscripts must be submitted. In addition, one copy should be submitted on a new 3.5-inch floppy disk clearly labeled with the author’s name and paper title, saved as a Word or Word Perfect document (PC or Mac).
2. All material should be typed, double-spaced, and on one side of the page only. One-inch margins should be left on all sides.
3. Articles should not normally exceed thirty pages. Book reviews should be between 500-1,000 words.
4. Quotation marks should be double and not single unless they indicate a quotation within a quotation.
5. Manuscripts should be accompanied by an abstract of approximately 150 words.
6. Include a brief autobiographical sketch of the author(s) of around 100 words.
7. Notes should be numbered consecutively and placed at the end of the text. Authors are responsible for checking all quotations and supplying complete references, using the following examples as guidelines:

Books: Mervyn Frost, Ethics in International Relations: A Constitutive
Theory (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press), p. 94.

Articles: Anthony D. Smith, “National Identity and the Idea of European
Unity,” International Affairs 68:1 (1992), pp. 65-66.

We aim to give authors a response within three months of receipt of the manuscript. All correspondence will be carried out electronically, so authors are requested to include a current e-mail address with their submission. Authors of articles accepted for publication are expected to promptly return corrected proofs. 

Special topic-based issues of IJPE will appear once a year. We welcome suggested topics for future special issues. The Editors welcome all correspondence and responses to published articles, and will upon occasion publish such pieces with permission of the author(s).

The journal's  interdisciplinary scope is designed to encourage exchange across intellectual  and cultural boundaries and to expand the discussion around American Studies from theoretical to practical concerns. We are looking for artists, scholars, and teachers influenced by or working on Walt Whitman and in the  field of American Studies more generally, and invite traditional scholarly as  well as creative responses to Whitman and/or American culture, especially work that is grounded in an interdisciplinary perspective.
