A CALL FOR PAPERS

for
MYTHOSPHERE
Editor in Chief
William G. Doty
University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa

Mythosphere: A Journal for Image, Myth and Symbol is conceived as an
interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary journal in the humanities, and
intends to aim for integration of information across several disciplines and
fields of inquiry; authors will share their special expertise, not in the
highly technical diction of specialist journals, but rather on a level of
articulation appropriate for a wide range of scholars and educated readers
from different backgrounds alike.

ANNOUNCING NEW EDITORS

for
THE COMMUNICATION REVIEW
Co-Editors
Andrea L. Press and Bruce A. Williams
Institute of Communications Research
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

With the goal of exploring new, disciplined approaches to communication
studies, The Communication Review seeks a synthesis of concerns traditional
to the field of communication and humane studies scholarship. The journal's
heuristic division of the field into three analytical perspectives provide a
natural structure for creating new knowledge across conventional
disciplinary boundaries:

History of Intellectual Culture
Call for Papers

History of Intellectual Culture is a new international electronic journal
that publishes peer-reviewed research papers on the socio-historical
contexts of ideas and ideologies and their relationships to community and
state formation, physical environments, human and institutional agency,
and personal and collective identity and lived experience. The journal
will highlight the viability and vibrancy of intellectual history as a
scholarly field, present new perspectives for research and analysis, and
stimulate critical discussion amongst scholars and students across
disciplines.

This is a call for papers for the 4th Issue of M/C/T a journal/e-zine
concerned with Media, Culture and Technology. For this issue, we have the
following special theme:

The Fake Issue

What's real? What's true? These may seem like outdated questions in these
hyper wired times of ours. Indeed, as Jean Baudrillard pointed out years
ago, the question of authenticity no longer matters in the same way, now
that we are fully immersed in an environment of virtual simulation. The
quest for authenticity is not only pointless but dissatisfying as well.
