Announcing a New Journal and CFP
 
The Journal of Surrealism and the Americas focuses on the subject of modern
European and American intellectuals' obsession with the "New World." The
editors would like to announce a call for papers for a general topics issue
on any aspect of visual culture or literature that engages with surrealism
in the Americas, or, that deals with the reception and legacy of the
Surrealist movement in the Americas.
 
Foreign language contributions (in French, German and Spanish) are accepted,
but we require a two-page, double-spaced English language abstract with any
foreign language submission.
