The English Studies Forum's forthcoming sites on parody and play will be combined into a new ongoing forum on Parody / Play / Performance. Submissions to this forum might address all forms of parody, play, and/or performance. We are interested in manuscripts that theorize these concepts, as well as those that are themselves parodic, playful, or performative.

The electronic peer-reviewed English Studies Forum seeks innovative creative and critical writing. The editors are seeking aesthetically adventurous work that experiments with language and thought, challenging conventional techniques of literary expression.

The "Parody / Play / Performance" forum is scheduled to debut in our Fall 2004 issue.
