Edible Ideologies: Representing Food and Meaning

CALL FOR PAPERS

We seek submissions for an interdisciplinary collection devoted to the
examination of how representations (literary, filmic, artistic, etc.) of
food and foodways serve as vehicles for the transmission of ideologies
about gender, sex, race, class, age, ethnicity, disability, and a host
of other identity constructs. Essays that provide a comparative
analysis of multiple representations are preferred to those that examine
just one text, although the latter will be considered. All submissions
should go beyond a mere "close read" to discuss the social and political
context and implications of the meaning of the representations.

UPDATE: Philament: Retrospective (12/03/04)

Philament invites contributions to its upcoming issue, Retrospective.

[nostalgia, or déjà vu, or the retrospective classification of the cannon;
testimony; memoirs – personal or cultural; commemoration; immortalization; text
vs. oral; print vs. cybertext; mnemonics; advertising; an author's collected
works or anthologies; "best of" music compilations; marginalia, editor's
footnotes, translation; reincarnation; reinvention; etc.]

Isn't writing immortalization? Publishing with us certainly is. Barthes would
kill me for that. And so blatant too.

"Bile: The Journal of Discontent"

Face it, you're angry.

There's a lot to be angry about. Bile is a new on-line journal of art,
letters, media and politics that seeks to embrace your indignation and
harness it as a trigger for progressive discussions and important
debates. Bile seeks to berate injustice, scold weak thinking, rebuke
the successes of the undeserving, and generally reprimand those who
produce, market, legislate, or enforce maddening drivel.

Call for Papers: The Figure of the Coquette

The proposed collection of essays seeks to explore the figure of the
coquette in the long eighteenth century (1660-1830), with the aim of
understanding and theorizing the cultural context that produced the figure,
her historical evolution, and her representation in European culture. We
are particularly interested in the coquette as a key site for debates about
women's nature and female roles during this period, ranging from the
misogynist critique of the coquette to explorations of her social power.
Comparatist analyses and cultural studies approaches are welcome, as are
essays addressing modern or contemporary rewritings of the figure of the
coquette
