Call for Submissions on Home/lessness

Locus Suspectus, a new magazine of art and culture, seeks textual and
visual proposals for its second issue exploring the notion of “home”.
Globalization has made it increasingly difficult to conceive of home
as a
singular and stable location. Moreover, home for many individuals often
exists as a constant state of homelessness due to social, economic, and
political circumstances. Despite this plurality of meaning, home often
carries with it a nostalgic longing for stasis and a pressure and
tendency
to identify ourselves and others largely in terms of where we live and
where we have come from.

We welcome the submission of critical essays, cultural reviews, and
socio-political perspectives (in English or French) on the topic of
home.
Artistic and written contributions could include critical
examinations of
home in diverse socio-political and cultural contexts, reviews of
artistic
events, interviews, and social commentaries.

Submission guidelines:
Textual submission: Near to completion draft of 500 and1300 words; MLA
format (in-text citations, no footnotes/endnotes); rtf format only.

Visual submission: Good quality photographs, slides, or jpg images;
(must
be 300 dpi for the final publication).

All submissions should include a brief biography (max.1 page), C.V.
(max.
5 pages), an artist statement (for visual submissions), and a research
statement (for textual submissions).

Please e-mail your submission to locussuspectus_at_googlemail.com or
mail by
post to:
