Jesusland: An Issue (#72)

After the elections, comes the New Morality? That's the aim of the right-wing evangelicals who helped bring the Republican Party to power in the 2004 US elections. Beyond creating a third Bush administration, economic and religious conservatives now hold power in two branches of the federal government, control appointments to the judiciary, and dominate numerous state and local governments.

Croft, Janet B.

While J.R.R. Tolkien professed to dislike the works of William
Shakespeare, he was intimately familiar with many of the plays and was
arguably influenced in many ways by Shakespeare's writings. I am looking
for scholarly but accessible papers of 6,000 to 9,000 words on the topic
of Shakespeare's influence on Tolkien. This collection already includes
essays on themes from Macbeth in The Lord of the Rings, war and glory in
Henry V and The Lord of the Rings, the mythical function of forests and
trees, and catharsis in Tolkien and Shakespeare. Additional topics I
would like to include are the conception of elves for both authors,
Gollum and Caliban, the role of women, and women warriors. Other topics

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.
