strategies for examining visual culture, convincing critiques of earlier
approaches to feminist visual analysis, and/or new models of feminist
visual theory that accommodate the multivalence of women's identities and

CFP: James Joyce (ASAP; collection)

I'm in need of an essay on James Joyce for a collection tentatively
titled:

Having Our Own Field Day: Essays on the Irish Canon

The collection is a critical evaluation of the Irish canon and offers
new innovative readings of canonical figures as well as readings of
those marginalized by the Field Day Anthology.

I'm looking for a fresh reading of Joyce that perhaps reimagines his
place in the canon (through postmodern, postcolonial or through another
theoretical lens), reevaluates his influence in Irish or other national
literatures, or reads his work against the grain of a current critical
consensus.

Please send a detailed proposal and cv to me asap.

Contributions are invited for a volume of interpretive essays on World War I posters. Many books, including Maurice Rickards's classic Posters of the First World War (1968), have brought the poster images of World War I to a wider viewing public. This volume seeks to interpret and contextualize posters and to explore the role they played in mediating public understanding of war experience at the front and on the home front in combatant nations. Essays that compare posters in different national contexts are particularly encouraged. Essays might address:
