2. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS “BEST BI SHORT STORIES”

Editors: Sheela Lambert

Journal URL: http://www.biwriters.org

Theme:
What is a bi short story?
We are seeking stories that illuminate something about the experience of being bi. Stories can focus on relationships, romance, dating and sex, of course but we’d like to see more than that. We’d like to see stories about relationships with parents, relatives or children…Passover Seder anyone? We’d like a bi military story, a bi same-sex marriage story, a job discrimination or acceptance story, a story about a bisexual pet…from the pet’s point of view. We want to see bi athletes, bi cowboys at Gay Rodeo, bi action-heros, spys, super-heros and vampires. Bi friends go to a movie, bump into their exes who dumped them, and hold hands; pretending to be on a date. A bi artist struggles to finish a painting. A bi senior citizen in a nursing home looks out the window as the Pride March is passing by and reflects on all the protest marches she went to when she was young. A bi person having a spiritual vision, a bi transsexual teacher who leaves for summer vacation as Don and
comes back on the first day of school as Donna.

Suggested Topics:
All genres such as fantasy, science-fiction, romance, historical, mystery, western, vampires, etc. as well as contemporary fiction are encouraged.
Sex scenes in the context of a story are fine but erotica not accepted.

Be creative.
We are so tired of the overused bisexual plot: bi person cheats on lover, causing pain to everyone. A couple of these have been accepted because they were well written, and contained something unexpected.
If you’ve already written one, send it in and it will be reviewed.
If you are starting something new, please come up with something more original.

Guidelines:
Requirements & Publishing Info: Short stories should be max length 15,000 words/30 pages and preferably in Word. Deadline has not yet been imposed but we cant wait to see your work! We plan to submit to traditional publishers: therefore we need to gather some material for the proposal. However if all else fails we will self-publish. Title page of manuscript should have in the upper left corner or centered on top : Story title & author\'s pen name (or legal name if the same) on first line, author\'s legal name, email address, street address and phone number. If story has been published anywhere before please state when and where.

3. Feminisms of the Global South (working title)

Editors: Sanjukta Ghosh and Patricia van der Spuy

Journal URL:

Theme:
The book will provide accessible descriptions and explanations of key feminist movements and theories within the global South, setting them in their historical and geopolitical contexts, demonstrating historical and current connections. The book will focus on three regions: South Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is not an anthology, but rather it will translate difficult theoretical concepts into language that is more accessible to undergraduates.

Suggested Topics:
The current authors are academics teaching women’s and gender studies at a small undergraduate teaching college. We seek a co-author with expertise in Latin American feminisms, for a companion to general undergraduate textbooks in both Women’s Studies and World History.

Guidelines:
As currently conceptualized, the book will consist of three sections, each focusing on one core region. Each section will consist of a broad thematic overview of feminist movements within the particular region, followed by two chapters, each one providing an analysis of feminism within one particular country in ways accessible to undergraduate readers. Each chapter would be approximate 5000 words in length. Please send an extended abstract of between 1500 and 2000 words, in which you provide an overview of key feminist movements and theories in Latin America, setting them in their historical and geopolitical contexts, with reference to the particular foci of the second and third chapters. This would ideally form the basis of the broad thematic overview chapter on Latin America. The extended abstract should be submitted via email by January 30th, 2008. We will respond before February 28th. Submissions should be emailed as attachments in Word (2003). Please email us with any questions; we envisage the third author as a full participant in this process.

6. Negotiating space, confronting contradictions: How human rights activists find a place inside/outside the movement

Editors: Karen Morgaine

Journal URL:

Theme:
This book will be a collection of writings by human rights activists exploring issues such as legitimizing human rights, mobilizing grassroots in the shadow of the UN, the public/private split in human rights, pragmatism versus ideology, voices of marginalized groups within the human rights arena, and openings for constructive critique. Both within and beyond the US, human rights activists confront contradictions in the human rights field; faced with these contradictions, how do they negotiate space—physical, emotional, and ethical space that allows them to engage in activism?

Suggested Topics:
Legitimizing human rights in a state in which human rights are not seen as a relevant issue—particularly in the United States

Using a gendered lens to expand the reaches of a field that has historically been dominated by “public” rather than “private” human rights abuses and has privileged males over females

Grassroots activism and international human rights—Advancing grassroots concerns to allow for local issues to be addressed within a system that is founded on universal constructs and which can be dominated by top-down politics

Advocating for emerging human rights issues by bringing to light a particular issue or population that has been marginalized

Applying human rights on the ground—aligning with social justice movements and NGOs who see human rights as theoretical and not grounded in practice

Supporting human rights ideals while developing a constructive critique of the movement

Guidelines:
Papers should range between 10-20 pages (5,000-10,000 words), although there is some flexibility with length. Papers need to be in English, preferably in Word or rich text format. Please include a short bio paragraph also. I will be submitting the full book proposal in early January and have targeted a number of possible publishing venues. I hope to have a number of submissions/submission ideas at that point and will continue to collect submissions throughout the first 3-6 months of 2008. If you have thoughts or ideas you would like to discuss with me, please feel free to email or call.

8. Qui Parle

Editors: Diana Anders, Nima Bassiri, Michelle Branch, Kelvin Black, Peter Skafis

Journal URL: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~quiparle/

Theme:
Qui Parle, an interdisciplinary journal of the humanities, arts and social sciences, is currently accepting general submissions for upcoming issues. Since its inception in 1986, the print journal has explored questions of language and textuality, theories of subjectivity, aesthetics, gender studies, critical theory and postcolonial theory. In recent years, the journal has expanded upon its original affiliation with literary criticism and Continental philosophy in order to feature articles from the human sciences, including the philosophy of science, anthropology, and sociology. This dilation enables even greater possibilities for comparative examinations of critical questions of concern for the humanities and social sciences alike, including: cultural alterity, the politics of visual culture, secularity and religion, nationalisms, political violence, migration and diaspora, questions of psychological development and trauma, the politics of memory, the historical anthropology of science, and modes of non-European or Anglo-American intelligibility.

Suggested Topics:
The publication history of qui parle is replete with significant figures in recent multi-disciplinary scholarship, including Giorgio Agamben, Benedict Anderson, Judith Butler, Hans Blumenberg, Hélène Cixous, Jacques Derrida, Michael Hardt, Alphonso Lingis, Achille Mbembe, Jean-Luc Nancy, Denise Riley, Loïc Wacquant, and Slavoj Zizek,. Qui Parle is dedicated not only to fostering dialogue and critical thought, but to introducing hitherto under-examined analytic modes, as well as hitherto underrepresented thinkers.

Guidelines:
Please contact the editors if you are interested in submitting an article for Qui Parle or if you have any further questions about the journal. For more information please visit Qui Parle at the Indiana University Press at http://inscribe.iupress.org/loi/qui or at http://quiparle.berkeley.edu

1. Works & Days Global Age of War and Imperialism

Editors:

Abstract Deadline: August 1st, 2008
Full Deadline: October 1st, 2008
Journal URL: http://www.english.iup.edu/publications/works&days/

Theme:
Invisible Battlegrounds: Feminist Resistance in the Global Age of War and Imperialism

In the contemporary global era of capitalism, as imperialism and war have emerged as dominant geopolitical forces, feminist analysis is, more than ever, urgently needed. Women's lives are affected disproportionately by violently imposed global restructuring, even as feminist attempts to create alternatives to exploitative and environmentally destructive forms of capitalist accumulation are largely neglected by dominant institutions and representations. Feminist critique of contemporary capitalism has, in fact, developed diverse approaches and strategies, among which notably include feminist theorizing within the areas of postcolonial, transnational, Marxist, and environmental thought. Feminist writers and thinkers working in these areas provide an invaluable analysis of the inherent connections among capitalism, war, and imperialism, and of the repressions of race, class, and gender that are required by capitalism to maintain unjust divisions of labor and resources. Also, their work provides vital oppositional images, identities, and narratives, ones attuned to mutual interdependency and the principles of social justice, sustainability, and radical democracy. This issue of Works & Days seeks to bring together theoretical work and cultural critique of anti-war feminist scholars and activists from across social locations and disciplines.

Suggested Topics:
·Explore how contemporary feminist theory and literature construct critique and opposition to prevailing patriarchal formations of race, gender, and class, particularly in connection with escalating violence against women and exploitation of labor and land.

·Investigate the ways civil wars and conflicts can be traced to earlier eras of capitalist and imperialist restructuring that reinforced, if not created, reifying divisions and hierarchies of race, ethnicity, and religion.

·Reflect on the ways that capitalism and imperialism reinforced, and often reinvented, patriarchal formations of the family and state. Now often referred to as client or peripheral states of imperialist centers, state power also sometimes relies on paternalistic forms of nationalism that imply polarized patriarchal gender identities, class power, and often elite claims of ethnicity and religion. This state power has taken the form of extreme militarism as well.

·Examine the profound changes in patriarchal orders as a result of war and occupation that organize the meanings of gender, especially of heavily gendered spaces, objects, or processes, such as the boundaries between home and street, private and public, friend and stranger, nature and culture.

·Consider how many contemporary social contradictions coalesce around heavily loaded metaphors, images, narratives, or signs of gender in transnational contexts—such as the veil, female genital mutilation, and so on.

1. South to a Queer Place: An Interdisciplinary Collection of Queer Lives and Southern Sensibilities

Editors:

Abstract Deadline: September 1st, 2008
Full Deadline: January 1st, 2009
Journal URL:

Theme:
Announcing an interdisciplinary collection of narratives, tentatively entitled South to a Queer Place: An Interdisciplinary Collection of Queer Lives and Southern Sensibilities, set in the context of the queer South. Essays will be explorations of queer Southernness and Southern queerness. Creative contributions, including personal accounts, oral histories, feminist theory, queer theory, etc., are welcome. Although no one specific methodology or theoretical approach is preferred, essays should 1) critically and carefully examine possible mutually-constitutive intersections of sexuality and Southern place by exploringone’s own relationship to the South and then self-identify in whatever ways seem meaningful and 2) comment upon Southern queerness within larger social, cultural, political, religious, economic, etc., contexts. This call for proposals resists defining or delimiting queer; however, authors may find discussions of queerness in Warner (1993), Jagose (1996), Howard (1999), Wilchins (2004), and Whitlock (2007), for example, helpful to their own conceptualizations.

Suggested Topics:
The South is a place with multiple stratifications. It is a contested site, where race, class, gender, religion, and sexuality interact continually and comprehensively, having implications that transcend regional boundaries and play out in a range of public arenas—politics, media, religion, arts. Likewise, identification with Southern place will be varied, ranging from attachment to ambivalence, from fondness to contempt. Voices of lesbian, gay, transgendered, and bisexual people who were raised and perhaps choose to remain on these landscapes add layers of complication, complexity, and meanings. This anthology will be a place of storied lives, where greater understanding may be had of what it means to be Southern and queer. The collection will range across academic disciplines and will be a resource for scholars and students in queer studies, American Studies, women’s studies, multicultural studies, among others; it will also be of interest to the general public.

Guidelines:
Submissions should include a 3-4 paragraph description of the proposed essay, including information on aims, methodological approach, and the proposed submission’s fit within the scope of the collection. To submit a proposal and/or for more information, please contact Ugena Whitlock, ruwhitlock@yahoo.com. Proposals should be submitted in the body of an email or as a separate Word attachment by September 1, 2008.

1. Queering Parenting

Editors: Susan Driver and Zoë Newman

Abstract Deadline: October 31st, 2008
Full Deadline: October 31st, 2008
Journal URL: http://www.yorku.ca/arm/queeringparenting.html

Theme:
A proliferation of experientially based essays, media stories, documentary films, television profiles, photographic essays and do-it-yourself manuals featuring lesbian mothers and gay dads have emerged to mark out cultural discourses in which to understand lesbian and gay families. But while these images and narratives enable positive representations that counter invisibility and marginalization, they often work to delimit transformative mode of thinking and acting beyond normalizing categories. For LGBTTT2Q communities in Canada, the US, and Europe, family has been a site of struggle and invisibility, and has also been constructed as a site of transformation and pride, sometimes with the result that we have sidelined interrogations of how ‘queer families’ are normative and exclusionary. It is those troubling, ambiguous and unintelligible subjects that do not fit neatly into parental discourses that need to enter into public dialogues as part of a comprehensive project of queering parenting.

Suggested Topics:
We hope to include a range of styles of academic writing, and encourage interdisciplinary modes of analysis. The following topics interest us but they do not exhaust the horizon of our search:
 Transgender parenting within and beyond bi-gender mother and father roles
 Transnational queer parenting or transnational and queer critiques of the family
 Affective/psychic/embodied transformations of queer parenting
 Queering public/private and national boundaries of reproductivity
 The status of ‘queer’ as a strategic and heuristic tool of family life
 Parenting and sexualities
 Media representations and spectacles of queer families
 Alternative visual and artistic depictions of family life
 Racialization of queer family discourses
 Queering family law
 Queer interventions with reproductive technologies
 Reflecting on gay and lesbian self-help parenting texts
 Community based queer family activism and organizing
 Commodification of queer parenting and queer families

Guidelines:
All papers must be MLA format (7000 word limit). Please submit inquiries and complete essays to both: sdriver@yorku.ca and znewman@yorku.ca
