---------- From: "Louise K Wilson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2004 10:22:43 +0100 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CALL FOR ARTWORKS - please distribute YOU ARE INVITED TO CONTRIBUTE ARTWORK FOR: Cultural Politics http://www.bergpublishers.com/uk/culture/culture_about.htm CALL FOR ARTWORKS: We are looking for relevant exciting and provocative artwork contributions for Cultural Politics, a new interdisciplinary peer reviewed journal published by Berg and co-edited by John Armitage (Northumbria, UK), Ryan Bishop (National University of Singapore) and Douglas Kellner (UCLA). Cultural Politics achieves its aims through the efforts of an editorial board and an editorial advisory board composed of globally recognized and active scholars in cultural and political studies. The journal publishes cutting-edge work exploring new meanings of the cultural and the political from the mainstream to the marginal and presents innovative conceptions of cultural politics whilst contributing to contemporary and future debates. The traditionally limited definition of cultural politics, understood as a sub-discipline of cultural studies, is being questioned from numerous directions. The journal is committed to opening a global space for discussion of alternatives to a limited comprehension of cultural politics. The shift from cultural studies to cultural politics is intentional and significant. Moving to the emergent discipline of cultural politics denotes a considerable mistrust of every suggestion that cultural and political theories and interpretations can any longer be wholly incorporated within cultural studies. Alternatively, the journal aims to support the examination and discussion of interdisciplinary understandings, developments, potentialities and alternatives that may comprise the contemporary nature and future of cultural politics. Cultural Politics embraces the study of transnational cultural identities and processes in addition to the analysis of political problems and the examination of the character and agency of cultural and political explanations. To facilitate this range of global possibilities, the journal is open to transnational fields of knowledge production. These include cultural studies (performance, lesbian and gay studies, race studies, womenıs studies, postcolonialism, communications and media studies), the humanities (literature, history, philosophy, psychoanalysis, art, museum studies, technology, education and architecture) and the social sciences (political economy, geography, politics, anthropology and sociology). Cultural Politics considers contributions from any related disciplinary setting, but particularly encourages interdisciplinary global research conducted by contributors in both the advanced and developing countries. The role of Cultural Politics is to play a key part in the construction and development of the growing field of critical cultural politics, in the quest for newly globalized forms of cultural and political production, education, exchange, debate and action. Cultural Politics is not limited to publishing dialogues with and critiques of extant cultural studies, even if such dialogues and critiques are an important element of the journal. Cultural Politics engages with global debates on the cultural nature and practices of transnational political change. By including Field Reportsı, the journal has instituted a link between global cultural and political theory and practice, between interpretation and action, both within and beyond the academy. Cultural Politics publishes high-quality work, in the form of academic articles, illustrations and artworks, which is relevant and comprehensible to the global public sphere, including those cultural intellectuals and political activists who practise a cultural politics exclusively in non-academic fields in addition to university lecturers, researchers and students. AIMS & SCOPE: Cultural Politics is an international, refereed journal that explores the global character and effects of contemporary culture and politics. Cultural Politics explores precisely what is cultural about politics and what is political about culture. Publishing across the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, the journal welcomes articles from different political positions, cultural approaches and geographical locations. Cultural Politics publishes work that analyses how cultural identities, agencies and actors, political issues and conflicts, and global media are linked, characterized, examined and resolved. In so doing, the journal supports the innovative study of established, embryonic, marginalised or unexplored regions of cultural politics. Cultural Politics, while embodying the interdisciplinary coverage and discursive critical spirit of contemporary cultural studies, emphasizes how cultural theories and practices intersect with and elucidate analyses of political power. The journal invites articles on: representation and visual culture; modernism and postmodernism; media, film and communications; popular and elite art forms; the politics of production and consumption; language; ethics and religion; desire and psychoanalysis; art and aesthetics; the culture industry; technologies; academics and the academy; cities, architecture and the spatial; global capitalism; Marxism; value and ideology; the military, weaponry and war; power, authority and institutions; global governance and democracy; political parties and social movements; human rights; community and cosmopolitanism; transnational activism and change; the global public sphere; the body; identity and performance; heterosexual, transsexual, lesbian and gay sexualities; race, blackness, whiteness and ethnicity; the social inequalities of the global and the local; patriarchy, feminism and gender studies; postcolonialism; and political activism. ARTWORK FOR CULTURAL POLITICS Cultural Politics invites artwork contributions for the page comprising a broad range of subjects, methodological approaches, and historical and social events. Such contributions may take the form of visual essays, interventions and case studies. SUBMISSIONS Should you have a contribution you would like Cultural Politics to consider, please send the relevant material to the arts editor in the first instance: Louise K Wilson 21 Spinkfield Road Huddersfield West Yorkshire HD2 2AY [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOTES FOR ARTWORK CONTRIBUTORS As a rough guideline to the layout of a contribution we would like to have a few images (between three and five) and a contextualising text. The textual part can be either more academic or personal, whichever best reveals the specifics of the work. The images count toward the overall word count for each issue, but it is possible to have a heavier image presence and less textual content, if that is desired. For overall journal presence, we are thinking of 5-7000 words including images in that word count. Contributions must include a three-sentence biography of the artist(s). The Publishers will require a disk as well as a hard copy of any contributions (please mark clearly on the disk what word-processing program has been used). Berg accepts most programs with the exception of Clarisworks. Figures All illustrative material (drawings, maps, diagrams, and photographs) should be designated "Figures." They must be submitted in a form suitable for publication without redrawing. Drawings should be carefully done with black ink on either hard, white, smooth-surfaced board or good quality tracing paper. Ordinarily, computer- generated drawings are not of publishable quality. The publishers encourage black and white photographs. Whenever possible, such photographs should be 8 x 10 to inches. The publishers encourage artwork to be submitted as scanned files (300 dpi or above) on disk or via email. All figures should be clearly numbered on the back and numbered consecutively. All captions should be typed double-spaced on a separate page. Marginal notations on manuscripts should indicate approximately where figures are to appear. While the editors and publishers will use ordinary care in protecting all figures submitted, they cannot assume responsibility for their loss or damage. Authors are discouraged from submitting rare or non-replaceable materials. It is the authorıs responsibility to secure written copyright clearance on all photographs and drawings that are not in the public domain.
