Edible Ideologies: Representing Food and Meaning

CALL FOR PAPERS

We seek submissions for an interdisciplinary collection devoted to the
examination of how representations (literary, filmic, artistic, etc.) of
food and foodways serve as vehicles for the transmission of ideologies
about gender, sex, race, class, age, ethnicity, disability, and a host
of other identity constructs. Essays that provide a comparative
analysis of multiple representations are preferred to those that examine
just one text, although the latter will be considered. All submissions
should go beyond a mere "close read" to discuss the social and political
context and implications of the meaning of the representations.

CFP: Carbon: Notes from Underground (grad) (12/20/04; e-journal)

Jason C Clegg

Carbon is a *new* electronic journal devised and disseminated by
students at California State University, Fresno.

Carbon is the pervasive element. It is the common substance of organic
life. The idea for the e-journal, not unlike the chemical element, is a
product of forces. Electronic publications continue to challenge
traditional notions of academic discourse. Patricia Bizzell provides a
useful definition for considering language-use in the academy:
"A primary way to define academic discourse is to see it as the language
of a community," which "shapes participants' way of looking at the world
– their worldview – including notions of what's real, normal, natural,
good, and true."

UPDATE: Philament: Retrospective (12/03/04)

Philament invites contributions to its upcoming issue, Retrospective.

[nostalgia, or déjà vu, or the retrospective classification of the cannon;
testimony; memoirs – personal or cultural; commemoration; immortalization; text
vs. oral; print vs. cybertext; mnemonics; advertising; an author's collected
works or anthologies; "best of" music compilations; marginalia, editor's
footnotes, translation; reincarnation; reinvention; etc.]

Isn't writing immortalization? Publishing with us certainly is. Barthes would
kill me for that. And so blatant too.

Shelley King

Call for Papers: The Figure of the Coquette

The proposed collection of essays seeks to explore the figure of the
coquette in the long eighteenth century (1660-1830), with the aim of
understanding and theorizing the cultural context that produced the figure,
her historical evolution, and her representation in European culture. We
are particularly interested in the coquette as a key site for debates about
women's nature and female roles during this period, ranging from the
misogynist critique of the coquette to explorations of her social power.
Comparatist analyses and cultural studies approaches are welcome, as are
essays addressing modern or contemporary rewritings of the figure of the
coquette
