-the brattiest academics on the web.
nasty is looking for some partners in crime. We're an online academic publication, showcasing a community of academics on the web. Through cutting, controversial articles and online discussion forums, we hope to stimulate the minds of netizens around the world. You can help us.

nasty is currently on the lookout for English language conference-length papers from academics in all realms of the humanities. We are particularly interested in sociopolitical and literary papers, with a focus  on the modern/post-modern period.

Submissions to nasty should be witty, controversial and ground breaking. In addition, they should be in Word or ASCII format, attached in an email to submissions@nasty.cx

Articles should not exceed 2000 words in length and must be accompanied by a short introduction and biography. Please send all submissions in Word format to submissions@nasty.cx

 

National Identities 

'National Identities' is a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal that appears three times a year. It focuses upon national identities and their relationship between territory, political structures and cultural traditions. We believe that national identities are primarily constructed and are not confined to what is called the nation as it is understood in the Western world since the late c18th. We encourage scholars from various disciplines to explore the ways social, political and regional groups constructed their identities, to what aims and how these identity constructions and images have changed through time. Furthermore, we invite papers discussing the question of if and to what extent cultural development is connected to the quest of identity. Against this background, we welcome innovative research on the following themes (amongst others):

    Identity and territory
    Boundaries, borderlands, and national identity
    Diaspora populations and national identity
    Identity issues in antiquity, the middle ages and the early modern period      
    Art, music and identity
    Regions, cities and identity
    National identity in the developing world
    Constitutions and identity
    The Cold War and identity
    Language and identity
    Landscape Architecture, Architecture and identity

Editorial correspondence should be addressed as follows:

      Peter Catterall (politics/political history)
      P.P.CATTERALL@qmw.ac.uk

      Dave Kaplan (geography)
      dkaplan@kent.edu

      Elfie Rembold (cultural history)

parallax

parallax is seeking papers to be published in its themed issues in 2002-3. These issues will be edited by Kurt Hirtler, Ola Stahl and Ika Willis. Potential contributors are encouraged to contact the editors for discussion. Email: parallax@leeds.ac.uk

25: Having Sex
26: Writing (in) terror(ism)
27: Mourning Revolution

25: Having Sex
How is sex "had"? And what (or who) is to be done?
The imagery of sex as natural ground is used across multiple fields, grounding arguments in sexed nature and subjects in a state of "being" one sex or the other (or - more radically, it is claimed - a or "the" third). A customary division between sex (as pre-social, concrete and determined by prediscursive  - genetic or animal - imperatives) and gender (as a set of culturally determined practices), or between sex and sexuality (as the discursive production of sex/es), is itself grounded in a particular version of nature which is already sex(ed) and leaves theory and practice unable ^V shall we say impotent? - to effect radical change in desiring subjects in this contested (hardly virgin) territory. Counting on sex leaves us stuck at one-two-three, or one- two-many.

parallax solicits papers intervening in "sex". Of particular interest would be readings of the imagery of sex in, for example, pornography; discourses of territory, land, and ground; slash fanfiction; and medical imaging technology. Papers could be readings of the ways in which sexually explicit writings across the arts and sciences imagine (define, construct, disseminate, re/ produce) sexual or reproductive organs or mechanisms, and subjects who have (a) sex or are (a) sex; or of apparently "neutral" (neutered?) theoretical or  philosophical writings which still rely more or less explicitly on sexual or reproductive terms and categories ("fertile", "sterile", "seminal", "affiliation", "genealogy", "hymen", "ass-fuck"). Papers imagining how sex might be had  otherwise are also desired. SUBMISSION DEADLINE: DECEMBER 2001


26: Writing (in) terror(ism)
What is the (t)error of terrorism (really)? What is (really) the territory of the terrorist? Is there a way of thinking and writing terror(ism) and the terror(ist) beyond the territory of its more traditional representations? Can we effectively renew our approach to this terrain of terror(ism) through alliance and affirmation rather than through traditional modes of criticism?

parallax invites creative and critical submissions engaging with the topic of terrorism; submissions that attempt to move beyond classical ways of thinking and writing of(f)/on the (t)error of terrorism/ terrorist, towards a thinking and writing in (of) terror(ism), as (on the ) terror(ist). We seek papers dealing with the ethical and aesthetic dimensions of this field of practices, as well as with the relation between such an ethico-aesthetic paradigm and the political. Of particular interest would be papers dealing with the relation between terrorism and cultural practices such as art, cinema, literature, etc. as well as papers dealing with the (memory of) actual practices referred to as terrorist. SUBMISSION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 2002

27: Mourning Revolution
In recent left-wing writing revolutionary subjectivity struggles to find a place. Since the failed revolutions of the century the modern idea of a radical break with the past has been widely regarded as metaphysical, relying on a fantasmatic structure. Critics have focused on its arche-teleological implications, which ultimately support a totalitarian and violent politics. At the same time, though, leftists have argued that the lost faith in revolutionary activity has led to a de-politicization of political and social theory. In concentrating on a politics of recognition the Left has rendered crucial struggles for freedom and equality invisible, thus reinforcing the existing socio- economic order.

parallax invites contributions which engage with debates surrounding the loss of revolutionary imagination and  investigate the conditions of possibility of emancipatory practice. Of particular interest are considerations of the politico-theoretical nature and function of the concept of revolution in left intellectual discourse beyond an ethics of redemption and harmony. Papers may address the relation between critique and hope, tradition and radicalism, writing, promise and activism, as well as questions concerning passionate attachments and the dangers of reoccupation. SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MAY 2002

The Review of Education, Pedagogy and Cultural Studies

Editors-in-Chief
Henry Giroux, Susan Searls Giroux
and Patrick Shannon
Penn State University

The Review of Education/Pedagogy/Cultural Studies is the only journal that publishes critical essays relating pedagogy to a wide variety of political, social, cultural and economic issues. We are particularly concerned with issues regarding how pedagogy works within and across a variety of sites, how pedagogical practices emerge out of specific historical struggles, concrete projects, and particular relations of power. We welcome submissions that are interdisciplinary, particularly those that address the relationship race, class, age and gender as the latter relate to particular projects, struggles, and issues. We strongly discourage short essays that focus on a single book. Instead, we prefer critical essays that address specific issues and/or multiple texts.

Prospective contributors should write to editor with a proposal describing specific areas or recent texts of interest. Such letters should be accompanied by a writing sample and curriculum vita.

Rhizomes: Cultural studies in emerging knowledge and strange attractions

Rhizomes opposes the idea that all knowledge must grow in tree structure from previously accepted ideas; new thinking need not follow established patterns. Rhizomes exists to promote experimental work located outside or beyond current disciplines and interdisciplines, work that has no proper location. We are not interested in publishing texts that establish their authority merely by affirming what is already believed. Instead, we encourage migrations into new conceptual territories and new critical forms, the productive mutations resulting from unpredictable juxtapositions and strange attractions. As our name suggests, works written in the spirit of Deleuzian approaches are welcomed but not required. 

As an online journal, Rhizomes emphasizes the use of interactive multimedia as a way of fostering experimental, imaginative scholarship that challenges existing critical forms. Submissions to Rhizomes need not include a  developed multimedia dimension; however, authors should  consider how their essays might be enhanced by multimedia presentation and be prepared to work with us to create a dynamic text suited to our electronic format. In the  spirit of dialogue between contributors and reviewers, Rhizomes engages in an extended and collaborative review process. In addition to an initial screening by editors, contributions will undergo a "blind" review by at least two members of the editorial board for content suitability and  quality. All contributions will be subject to a more technical review of the multimedia options for enhancing theme as well as design. Authors of accepted and/or revised contributions will work closely with both the content and  technical editors to establish a more effective multimedia presentation. Contributors may be asked to supply relevant image and  sound files or to assist in the selection and development of these options. 

Hard copy submissions should be sent to Carol Siegel, English Department, Washington State University, Vancouver, 14204 NE Salmon Creek Avenue, Vancouver, WA 98686-9600. If the document is online, please submit a URL  to Ellen Berry eberry@bgnet.bgsu.edu  so that the editors may view the submission in its existing web format. All  submissions should conform to standards for general format and citation that govern publications in the author's field, and include a bibliography, if appropriate. We will consider short pieces, but cannot consider texts of more than 7,500 words, including notes.

Scope

Scope, a fully refereed on-line journal of film studies edited by  staff and postgraduate students within the Institute of Film Studies  at the University of Nottingham, is looking for film reviews of about  1000/1500 words to be included in forthcoming issues.

As you can see from our website www.nottingham.ac.uk/film/journal  Scope aims at providing a forum for discussion of all aspects relating  to Film Studies and we welcome a wide range of critical approaches  and methodologies. 

Please send an introductory e-mail indicating the film(s) you would  like to review and your areas of interest and expertise to Luca  Prono, film review editor, aaxlp@brn9.reg.nottingham.ac.uk  

 

Sex Education

3 Issues per year
(Available Online)

Sex Education is a new international refereed journal concerned both with the practice of sex education and with the thinking that underpins it.

Contributions are welcomed from within a variety of academic disciplines - particularly health education, sociology, philosophy and psychology - and from a variety of ideological standpoints. Submitted work should connect significantly with issues concerned with sex education and have presumptions made by the author(s) described and defended.

Sex Education does not assume that sex education takes place only in educational institutions and the family. Contributions are therefore welcomed which, for example, analyse the impacts of media and other vehicles of culture on sexual behaviour and attitudes. Medical and epidemiological papers (e.g. of trends in the incidences of sexually transmitted infections) will not be accepted unless their educational implications are discussed adequately.

Manuscripts are invited for submission. Please send three hard copies to:

These will include research reports (empirical and theoretical), reviews, proposals for curriculum practice, historical articles and papers that address methodological issues. Most papers will be printed in normal word format but submissions containing links to web sites with visual and auditory material are welcomed. Relevant books, curriculum materials (including software and videos), conferences, films, exhibitions and even sporting events and architecture will be reviewed. Letters to the editor are also acceptable. 

Papers should include an abstract of between 100 and 200 words. Papers will normally be published in English but the abstract may be in any language.  Further submission information including details about the style of references and the submission of illustrations may be obtained from the journal's web page or from the editor.

Signs of Life: Medicine and the Cinema

Chapters and appropriate chapter suggestions are sought for: "Signs of Life: Medicine and the Cinema." which will consider how medicine, the medical profession and medical science have been presented in the cinema. The book will offer an historical, cultural and textual study of the filmic representation of medicine and will appeal to both the  film studies and a wider film readership.

This book development project already includes a foreword by a major name in  medicine and the medical humanities and is receiving extremely enthusiastic responses internationally. We intend for this to be an exceptional book. 

The book is divided into three sections:

Section One: The Flicker of Life: Medicine Enters the Cinema 
Section Two: Vital Signs: Medical Interventions and the Cinema
Section Three: Dying on film: medical cinema and the end of life

Indicative Chapter Areas (Section One) could include:

[1] Birth of cinema: birth in the cinema
[2] Ability and disability: depictions of "normalcy" throughout film
history
[3] Idealisation of youth and the body in the medical narratives of
the cinema
[4] Puberty and sexual awakening in classical and post-classical
cinema
[5] Gendered and sexualised medicine: the role of medicine in gender and sexual definitions in film (eg: medicine and masculinity, medicine and the feminine . . .)
[6] The role of film in advancement of medical science:
documentaries and dramas of medicine and the medical professions.

Indicative Chapter Areas (Section Two) could include:

[1] Disease and the cinema
[2] Film injuries: hurting and healing on film
[3] Discoveries: medical science and cinema
[4] Miracles, recuperations and cures
[5] Good health: general practitioners, hospitals and the role of
the patient in the cinema
[6] Film genre and medical intervention

Indicative chapter areas (Section Three) could include

[1] The medical rituals of dying: funerals, wakes and grieving
[2] Violence, killing and cinematic medicine
[3] Corpses and forensics: medicine meets the dead
[4] Spirit and the metaphysical: film, medicine and transcending the
body
[5] War films and the role of medic
[6] Film genre and the medical depiction of the dead and dying

Questions to be debated could include:

"How is the human form made to appear through medicine in film?"

"What contribution do cultural rituals make to filmic representation
of medicine?"

"How do gender, race and sexuality inform filmic constructions of
medical science and medical practitioners?"

"Where are the parameters of the scientific and the personal drawn
in 'film medicine'?"

"In whose interests are these 'signs of life' deployed?"

"What is the relation between history and the filmic depiction of
medicine?"

"How does cinema define the normality and the integrity of our
bodies medically?"

"How does cinema deal with being born, living, ageing and dying and
what role is played by medicine in this filmic narrative?"

Women Writers has been "live" for almost two years, and in that time has received critical acclaim (including being listed in the Encyclopedia Britannica as a recommended reference source and being linked by literature anthology websites from *major* publishing houses), and we are rated one of the top 100 sites on the Internet by and for women by an independent scholar.

The site has received over 65,000 visitors, from both U.S. and international circles. We host a listserv which has over 170 members, with demographics that range from "high school students" to "college professors" and everything in between.  We feature critical debate about women authors and provide a publication forum for new women writers.
