Essays not exceeding 5,000 words are invited for an anthology exploring Non-Western Christianity and Literature.

The editor is especially interested in essays that show how creative writers (novelists, short fiction writers, poets, etc.) capture the real-lived texture of non-Western Christian belief and behavior. Various methodological and disciplinary approaches are encouraged.

Please send abstracts, which should not exceed 250 words, in the first instance. E-mail attachments preferred. Please use the e-mail address listed below. And feel free to use this address for any and all initial inquiries.

The deadline for receipt of abstracts is November 14, 2005. Completed essays are due April 30, 2006.

Deadline for submissions extended to November 20th, 2005:

qui parle invites submissions for its upcoming issue, to be released in
Spring of 2006. Founded in 1986 by an editorial board from the University
of California at Berkeley, qui parle is dedicated to expanding the
dialogues that take place between disciplines and which challenge
conventional understandings of reading and scholarship in academia.

The editors will consider all papers that speak to our commitment to
publishing the very best of international scholars working on a variety of
disciplines, including philosophy, literature, history, and visual
culture. Papers treating questions surrounding epistemologies of
otherness, including alternate knowledge forms, are particularly
encouraged.

 
This is a reminder that abstracts for a new collection of essays on
Janet Frame should be emailed to j.cronin_at_auckland.ac.nz and
simone.drichel_at_stonebow.otago.ac.nz by 1st December this year.

Due to publisher's interest in producing the collection in 2007 we will
be requesting finished essays by 1st July 2006 rather than 1st December
2006 as previously advertised.
