ANARCHISM AND THE LITERARY IMAGINATION

Chapters are sought for the collection Anarchism and the Literary Imagination. This volume examines historical and contemporary engagements of anarchism and literary production. Anarchists have used literary production to express opposition to values and relations characterizing advanced capitalist (and socialist) societies while also expressing key aspects of the alternative values and institutions proposed within anarchism. Among favoured themes are anarchist critiques of corporatization, prisons and patriarchal relations as well as explorations of developing anarchist perspectives on revolution, ecology and ecocriticism, polysexuality and mutual aid.

Richard Gray / Carson-Newman College

In the post 9/11 era, scrutiny and criticism of France by the United States has increased. On numerous occasions, the latter has questioned France's position with regard to global policy. This fact notwithstanding, for centuries, the United States of America has been culturally and socially impacted by France. The domains that have been influenced by French presence are extensive. For the upcoming essay collection entitled The French in American Popular Culture and Society, I am soliciting contributions that illustrate the influence and impact that France has made on societal and cultural components of the United States since the birth of the nation in 1776.
