Celebrity Culture
                        Su Holmes and Sean Redmond

Celebrity Culture will represent a significant intervention in the field
on a number of different levels. Essentially, what we are proposing here is
a book which brings together approaches to stardom and celebrity which
range across historical periods, media forms and national contexts - as
well as disciplinary borders and modes of enquiry (film, television, music,
sport, Internet, print media). The book aims to bring together a broad
range of essays which address the contemporary, cross-media and
international landscape of today?s fame culture.

Rosemary Weatherston

Post Identity, an international, fully-refereed journal of the humanities,
publishes scholarship that examines the narratives underlying individual,
social, and cultural identity formations; that investigates the relationship
between identity formations and texts; and that argues how such formations can
be challenged.

In print since 1997, Post Identity has partnered with the University of
Michigan's Scholarly Publishing Office to transform itself into an audio-,
graphic-, and video-enhanced web-based journal that can make available the new
forms and subjects of contemporary critiques of identity, as well as more
traditional text-based scholarship.

Faulkner Journal

The Faulkner Journal
Call for Papers: Faulkner and Whiteness
Deadline: 9/24/05

Guest Editor: Jay Watson, University of Mississippi

Faulkner lived and wrote at a time when models of normative and deviant
identity were increasingly racialized, even as models of racial identity
were increasingly biologized. This is one among many reasons why whiteness
in Faulkner--and the whiteness of Faulkner--deserve our critical attention.
This special double issue of The Faulkner Journal welcomes submissions that
problematize the ostensibly unremarkable phenomenon of whiteness in
Faulkner's life and career. Topics could include, but are by no means
limited to, the following:
