CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

For an upcoming 2006-07 volume, The Journal of Bisexuality is planning
an issue on

BISEXUALITY AND FAMILY:
THEORIES AND PRACTICES IN ELECTIVE/EXPANDED KINSHIP, AFFINITY, AND
PARENTING

Possible foci are bisexuality and family practices like monogamy,
non-monogamy, responsible non-monogamy, polygamy, polyandry, and
Polyamory; bisexuality and nuclear, extended, expanded, elective,
tribal, and cyberspace families; bisexuality and the reproduction
cycles: fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, child rearing, sibling
relating, biological and elective parents and relatives; bisexuality and
parenting, step-parenting, surrogate parenting, adoption, and
grand-parenting; bisexuality and incest; incest taboos and their
transgression; bisexuality and abuse.

Possible related foci include bisexuality and initiation rituals;
bisexuality and human development, including childhood, sexual
awakening, adolescence, young adulthood, maturity, ageing, later life,
old age, senility, gender, and transgenderism; the body, nudity,
spirituality, health, disability, illness, food, nurturing, care,
affection, and erotic practices in bisexual families; past and/or
non-Western models of bisexual families.

We are interested in theoretical, critical, and research articles,
reports from the field, personal narratives, reviews, poems, and
interviews. For articles, we welcome a variety of disciplinary and
interdisciplinary perspectives, including those based in disciplines
like critical theory, philosophy, sociology, psychology, legal studies,
literature, cultural studies, anthropology, and medical science. For
the more experiential submissions, we welcome expertise in the healing
arts, the creative arts in general, the new spiritualities, Polyamory,
paganism, fetishism, DBSM, as well as past and/or non-Western
modalities.
