Journal Issue: "Imagined Cities"
_genre_

_genre_ is the annual scholarly journal of the Comparative Literature and
Classics Department at California State University, Long Beach. It has
published 23 issues since the first volume in 1967. The theme for this
year's journal is "Imagined Cities."

Essays might deal with the topic of representing urban life broadly, but we
are particularly interested in essays which use critical/cultural theory to
focus on specific cities. The list of possible cities is virtually
endless: How have authors and artists imagined Athens, Rome,
Constantinople, London, Paris, Berlin, Sao Paolo, Prague, Mexico City,
Tokyo, New Delhi, New York, Lagos, Brussels, Madrid, San Francisco, Lisbon,
Moscow, Johannesburg, Beijing . . .

Topics might include the imperial city, the colonial/postcolonial city, the
utopian/dystopian city, cities as contested space for race/class/gender
issues, future cities, cities in film, cities as spaces of enclosure or
freedom, urban subcultures, or cities within cities.

We welcome interdisciplinary submissions and graduate student submissions
are encouraged.

Manuscripts should be 2,000-5,000 words, double-spaced. MLA citations
preferred.

Deadline for submission: Monday May 12, 2003
