Abstract

Submissions are invited for a collection of essays on the contemporary
extreme. The volume will deal with novels whose styles or themes engage a
hyper real, often apocalyptic, world progressively invaded by popular culture,
permeated with technology, and dominated by destruction. In this world,
violence – often the only stable element – operates as ethos. Entries may
include, but are by no means limited to, novelists such as Cathy Acker, Nelly
Arcan, Frédéric Beigbeder, Rafael Chaparro Madiedo, Marie Darrieussecq, Don
DeLillo, Virginie Despentes, Bret Easton Ellis, Lucía Etxebarría, Alberto
Fuguet, Michel Houllebecq, Orly Kastel-Bloom, Patrícia Melo, Mian Mian,

The Victorian Studies Bulletin is beginning to collect information and copy
for the March 2004 issue on the following subjects:

This is a call for papers to be submitted to Fast Capitalism, a new
electronic journal publishing refereed scholarship on the impact of
information and communication technologies on self, society and culture in
the 21st century. Bridging the humanities and social sciences, the journal
welcomes disciplinary and interdisciplinary work. The first number of the
journal will appear in late summer or fall 2004. Please direct submissions
to Ben Agger, agger@uta.edu. The journal's URL is http://www.uta.edu/fastcap .

We invite you to submit academic and critical essays to a new
student-led online literary journal, _Clarion: A Women's Critical
Journal_. _Clarion_ is an undergraduate and graduate student-led,
annual online journal whose purpose is to provide a forum for
publication of critical papers with the central theme involving
women's writing, literary women writers, and women's issues in
literature.

The editors of the electronic peer-reviewed English Studies Forum <http://www.bsu.edu/shapps/english/cwp/index.htm> (www.bsu.edu/web/esf) seek critical and creative submissions for a forum on parody. Submissions to this forum might address all forms of parody (from Chaucer to This is Spinal Tap and The Onion) and/or parody as literary/socio-cultural/political critique (from Aristophanes to The Daily Show). We are interested in manuscripts that theorize parody, as well as those that are themselves parodies.
