Celebrity Culture
                        Su Holmes and Sean Redmond

Celebrity Culture will represent a significant intervention in the field
on a number of different levels. Essentially, what we are proposing here is
a book which brings together approaches to stardom and celebrity which
range across historical periods, media forms and national contexts - as
well as disciplinary borders and modes of enquiry (film, television, music,
sport, Internet, print media). The book aims to bring together a broad
range of essays which address the contemporary, cross-media and
international landscape of today?s fame culture.

"Beyond Jeopardy: Adapting Collaborative Games for the Writing
Classroom"

Forthcoming Anthology.

Call for Essays on adapting games for the writing classroom, including
college composition, developmental, intro to literature courses, ESL,
and/or 12th grade English. Practical approach preferred over
theoretical -- grounding in theory encouraged, but not required.
Looking for experienced methods that have been tested and ideally
resulted in positive student performance and feedback.

CFP: *Macbeth* (5/23; abstracts for proposed volume of essays in est. series)

11 May 2004

I am seeking abstracts to include in an initial proposal for an edited volume on *Macbeth.* Should my proposal be accepted, the book will constitute part of an established series of critical essays on individual works by Shakespeare, several of which have already been published and enjoy wide distribution. I have the backing of the general editor of the series for this proposal. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 23 May.
