CALL FOR PAPERS: Zombie Culture: Studies of the Monster that Won't Go =
Away edited by Shawn McIntosh and Marc Leverette.

We are seeking proposals for a collection tentatively entitled Zombie =
Culture: Studies of the Monster that Won't Go Away.

the 20th century. Rare in that this enduring monster type originated in =
a non-European folk culture rather than the Gothic tradition from which =
monsters such as vampires, werewolves, and Frankenstein have emerged, =
zombies nevertheless have in many ways superseded these Gothic monsters =
in popular entertainment.=20

Call for Contributors

     Contributors wanted to write entries for a new volume of
the Dictionary of Literary Biography: Early American Nature Writers:
Poetry.
      As the editor for this series, I am calling for contributors
for the following names:

This call for papers was earlier sent out under the rubric "Literature
and Ethics".

TEXT AND ETHICS: This is an open call for submission proposals of
300-400 words for a book to be published in the fall of 2004.. We aim
to clarify further the continuum that exists between descriptive and
interpretive criticism of the treatment of issues that can be termed
ethical in texts and in production (including the production of
criticism itself), and ethical criticism as a reader or cultural
response practice, whether the focus is on e.g. fiction, autobiography,
biography, poetry, microhistory, etc. The texts can be theoretical or
based on closer readings of specific texts.
