re: 'Studies in European Cinema'

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new refereed
international journal 'Studies in European Cinema' (Intellect) in 2004.

This journal is dedicated to the best work currently being produced on
European Film, European film culture, the changing nature and film output
of Europe itself. It is distinctive in bringing together discussions on a
range of European cinemas, and by the timing and positioning of the
discussions within both a cultural and an historical context.

Areas of interest include:

* All aspects of European film and European film culture;

Faith_, propose to move the study of Astell to a mature phase, and to
accommodate a variety of disciplinary perspectives so that the broad
span of Astell's work can be understood in its manifold contexts. The
editors of the volume are soliciting essays not only on Astell's
already canonized works, but on the full range of her political,
theological, philosophical, and poetic writings. The volume, however,
will not eschew the more traditional scholarly interest in Astell's
concerns about gender; rather, it aspires to reveal how Astell's
reflections on gender were always mediated through her diverse set of

Revised call: Oprah Anthology

We are soliciting papers for an academic anthology on the phenomenon of
Oprah. It is undeniable that Oprah Winfrey has transcended the iconic
cult of celebrity to become a Western cultural force of the late-twentieth
and early twenty-first centuries. As her show nears its much anticipated
end — though its endless reproduction in syndication seems inevitable — it
seems appropriate to produce an anthology that evaluates the multifaceted
influences and implications of Oprah.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
