Native American Writing Systems and (Counter)Discourses of Identity

This session will consider the role of Native American writing systems
and recordkeeping before contact and in post-contact literatures.
Especially welcomed are papers that consider how indigenous literacies
are informed by different worldviews than Eurowestern literacies, how
Native writing is conceived of as a socially-constituted act, and how
early tribal writers invoke and deploy these methods of record as unique
rhetorical strategies. Please send an abstract and one-page vita to
pmkgsl_at_rit.edu by January 10.

Judging a book by its cover:
fans, publishers, designers and the advertising of books
Edited by Nicole Matthews and Nickianne Moody,
Media and Cultural Studies, Liverpool John Moores University, UK

Book covers have long been the sole preserve of collectors and art
historians. This collection will draw a new range of disciplinary
perspectives - cultural studies, business and marketing, the history of the
book and literary studies - to make sense of book covers in the wider
context of publishers' publicity and the marketing of books.

Please find enclosed the call for papers for next year's issue of Michigan
Feminist Studies. The journal welcomes contributions from all disciplines,
and particularly encourages international scholars and graduate students
to submit.

Please note that this year's call also invites submissions for book and
film reviews, as well as visual materials, related to the topic "Within
Hostile Borders."

WITHIN HOSTILE BORDERS

Style in the making
The December 2004 issue of Cercles ( http://www.cercles.com ) proposes
to examine the possible geneses of style in the fields of literature,
art, architecture, music, costume, cinema, criticism and will welcome
interdisciplinary essays.
Style has long been the privileged target of literary analyses dwelling
on the music of prose, the rhythm of cadence, the choice of words, and
any other figures apparently giving identity to the written text. In
these, commentaries abound in qualifiers—like eminent, penetrating,
accurate—which reflect the impact of an author’s style on the reader
