CFP: Representing the other (11/30/04; journal issue)
Litteralis: Studies and debates in literature, linguistics and arts
seeks submissions for a special issue devoted to the representation of the
other.

Who is the "other"? In general terms, simply the one whose existence is
separated from one´s self. Even when thought in such simplistic terms,
the other is crucial in the construction of the concept of the self, both
defining one´s location in the world and being a reference in the
formulation of what constitutes normalcy.

Lore: An E-journal for Teachers of Writing seeks submissions for the
Digressions section of the Fall 2004 issue. In the past year or so,
blogging has become something of a national pastime with academics becoming
a core group using blogs for personal and professional reasons. Yet even
though many people embrace blogging, many others have no idea what it is or
why anyone would do it. In this issue of Lore, we want to explore the roll
that blogging plays for compositionists and the composition classroom.

Lore: An E-journal for Teachers of Writing seeks submissions for the Job
Strategies section of the Fall 2004 issue. Almost everyone who chooses to
teach composition does so because of a drive to teach, whether that drive
comes from enjoyment, a sense of purpose, or something else. Even when we
love teaching, however, we often face a challenge when we try to describe
what forms the foundation not only of why we teach but also how we
teach. For many job applicants, one of the most stressful documents to
create is the teaching philosophy. How do we articulate principles that
have often remained unspoken, ideas that also represent core beliefs that
shape one of our primary identities: composition instructor?
