The editors of the electronic peer-reviewed English Studies Forum <http://www.bsu.edu/shapps/english/cwp/index.htm> (www.bsu.edu/web/esf) seek critical and creative submissions for a forum on parody. Submissions to this forum might address all forms of parody (from Chaucer to This is Spinal Tap and The Onion) and/or parody as literary/socio-cultural/political critique (from Aristophanes to The Daily Show). We are interested in manuscripts that theorize parody, as well as those that are themselves parodies.

English Studies Forum is committed to publishing innovative fiction, poetry, drama, criticism, interviews, and hypermedia. We are seeking aesthetically adventurous work that experiments with language and thought, challenging conventional techniques of literary expression. Critical papers should conform to M.L.A. style and include a bibliography, if appropriate.

The editors also invite submissions for the following forum topics:

The Individual in War

Image, Story, and Conversation

The Postmodern Imagination and Beyond: Writing for the 21st Century

Play

Please send submissions and inquiries to Trey Strecker, Editor; Department of English; Ball State University; Muncie, IN 47306-0460. tstrecker_at_bsu.edu.
