Journal Issue: "Imagined Cities"
_genre_

_genre_ is the annual scholarly journal of the Comparative Literature and
Classics Department at California State University, Long Beach. It has
published 23 issues since the first volume in 1967. The theme for this
year's journal is "Imagined Cities."

Original essays are invited for a collection tentatively entitled “Rhetorics
of Place.”

The editors of this collection believe that the concept of “place” operates
at the crossroads of current social, political, economic, and environmental
issues. As educators we also believe that the exploration of “place”
provides the opportunity for bridging academic knowledge and students’
everyday experiences. With this in mind we encourage submissions from a
range of disciplines and perspectives in the hopes of developing a reader
designed to provide an interdisciplinary overview of the current discussions
concerning “place” for the college classroom.
