looking for essays, in particular on theoretical explorations of the concept
of 'Intermediality' itself, and on the intermedial aspects of comics/graphic
novels.
Some publishers have already expressed interest in this collection, so, if
you would like to be on board, please contact brundlefly_at_web.de -
abstracts and finished papers [or drafts] welcome!
The deadline for finished papers is Jan 30.

Not Your Mother's Feminism
   
  Seeking contributors for a collection on feminist generations, tentatively entitled, "Not Your Mother's Feminism." I am specifically interested in hearing from those women who feel under represented within the struggle(s) for definitional control over the terms of feminist debate taking place in both academic and popular discourse. Contributors will likely be women who are too young to be Second Wave, too old to be Third Wave, and perhaps too theoretically (and academically) oriented to feel entirely "post-feminist."
