CFP: egotistics: Open and Special Issues

egotistics is the online journal of EGO, the English Graduate Organization at
The University of Alabama. This peer-reviewed journal has been established to
offer graduate students and new professors the opportunity to publish their
critical writing on any topic regarding literature and critical theory. All
submissions will be reviewed by an editor and at least two assistant editors.
Rejected submissions will be returned with reader's suggestions. As always,
egotistics welcomes submissions for our open issues. Beginning spring 2003,
 we will publish one or two special topics issues per year.

Special Issue 1: Ecocriticism

CFP: World-Building or World-Borrowing: The universe of media tie-in fiction
An M/C Reviews "Words" Special Feature

Edited by Catriona Mills

Media tie-in fiction is the secret success story of modern publishing.
Novels based on the Star Trek and Star Wars universes routinely top the New
York Times best seller lists, but remain something of a covert pleasure. To
many, they seem to occupy an uneasy position between genre fiction and pulp.
But within the field there is a striking and vibrant diversity of style,
form and content. Clearly, there is room for critical intervention into
this phenomenon.

CFP: Queer Cinema in Europe

Contributions are sought for 'Queer Cinema in Europe', an edited anthology of
critical essays to be published by Intellect Books in 2004. The collection
will explore the varying deployments of lesbian, gay and queer representation
to re-define and deconstruct notions of national identity and culture from
within a unique and diverse European context.

Suggested subjects include:

                               UPDATE:

           "SOUND AND THE MOVING IMAGE: VOICE, MUSIC, EFFECTS" (Continuum)

Further to our earlier alert call: a new international database has now been
established for the major three year international encyclopedia research and
development project, which will produce a comprehensive text on the use and
history of sound in film, TV and multi-media.

This is an updated call, alerting possible writers to the establishment of
the database, and is relevant to all persons with an interest in suggesting
topic areas, and/or who might be interested in writing on specific subjects,
and/or who have a strong research and/or practice based interest in this
field.

Subject: dis/utopia

Voyeuristic television programs such as Survivor and Big Brother, coupled
with the easy accessibility of information via the Internet and other modern
information sources, are a startling echo of the Distopian writings of
Orwell and Huxley. Have we succumbed to a Distopian order, or are we simply
on a bumpy path to a Utopian world?
