CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Special Issue "Antigone"

Mosaic invites submissions for a special on "Antigone". The deadline for submissions is
October 31, 2006.

Remarking a turn to tragedy that has taken place at decisive moments in the history of
the West and that is recurring in contemporary literary and critical theory, this special
issue centers on the figure and the play, Antigone.

Mosaic is interested in new work provoked by Sophocles's drama and by its heroine,
Antigone, as well as work engaging the critical discourse that Antigone and tragedy have
generated in past and recent years. Essays might broach such fields and themes as:
tragic vision, ethics, psychoanalysis, philosophy, gender, femininity, maternity, family, the
political, performance, literature, film, trace, temporality, and trangression.
