Deadline: April 1, 2005.

REPLY TO: pmc_at_jefferson.village.virginia.edu

Postmodern Culture is looking for reviews of recent books, films, CDs,
plays, TV shows, concerts, sporting events, performances, exhibitions,
conferences and conventions, happenings, and so forth, for our summer 2005
issue. Reviews should be approximately 2000-3500 words long and should
follow the journal's format guidelines below.

We are especially interested for our next issue in reviews of recent works
by or on Jacques Derrida (see the list below for some suggestions).

To publish a review in the next issue, we will need to receive it no later
than April 1, 2005. Final acceptance, rejection, or request for
resubmission will be made by April 15, 2005. All correspondence will be
answered and all submissions will be given careful consideration. We
regret that we are unable to provide review copies to our reviewers,
except where we have specifically commissioned a review.

The current issue of PMC is available on the web at
http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/pmc/. Reviewers are encouraged to
familiarize themselves with the journal and its review section in
particular before submitting reviews. A few format guidelines and some
suggested titles appear below.

Send reviews, proposals, or queries to the Managing Editor at
pmc_at_jefferson.village.virginia.edu

FORMAT GUIDELINES FOR PMC REVIEWS

Reviews should generally run between 2000 and 3500 words, or about 8-14
ordinary manuscript pages. Each review should be accompanied by a brief
(3-5 line) bio of the
reviewer.

Put a title at the top of the first page, and under it your name,
institutional affiliation, email address, mailing address, and fax number.
Center these lines.

Below this, indicate the work reviewed as follows:

Review of
Author, Title. City: Publisher, Date.

Single-space the document, but use double spacing between paragraphs.

Footnotes and Works Cited page, if any, should follow MLA format.

Page references in the text, if any, should not be preceded by p., pp., or
any other notation; use just the page number itself.

Submissions should be sent as e-mail attachments, preferably in Word

Rich text or pdf files are also acceptable.
