Call for Papers "Alternative Visions: Philosophies of Freedom in South Asian Diasporic Writing" Colloquy: Text, Theory, Critique Issue 17 __________________________________________________ Colloquy is presently seeking unsolicited submissions for this and future issues. We are also seeking submissions for Issue 17 that consider the theme "Alternative visions: philosophies of freedom in South Asian Diasporic Writing". Students of postcolonial studies should find this area of particular interest, although as always Colloquy remains open to researchers from all areas of the humanities with a focus on critical inquiry and creative responses. This issue will be guest edited by Elin-Maria Evangelista, Isabella Ofner and Pooja Mittal. This issue will also feature select postgraduate papers from the Communications and Media Studies conference, to be held in August 2008, on International and Intercultural Communications in the Age of Digital Media. These papers will consider current understandings of globalization and the most pressing questions facing media and communications scholars today, including relations between the empirical and the theoretical in media cultures in action, what ideas we use to make sense of them, and whether or not disciplinarity is even still a workable idea. Academic articles, review articles, book reviews, translations, opinion essays and creative writing will be considered. We encourage postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and research fellows to submit scholarly articles in line with the style guide. The submission deadline for Issue 17 is November 15, 2008. Articles of an unrelated nature will also be considered for a general section to be added to the themed section (both refereed in a double-blind process), and creative writing or opinion pieces are also welcome for an unrefereed section of the electronic journal. Submissions are being accepted from postgraduates, recent doctoral graduates and post-doctoral fellows working in the fields of literature, literary theory, cultural studies, film & television studies, translation theory, cinema, and theatre. All articles, review articles and translations will be blind-refereed by academics working in appropriate fields for assessment to ensure the originality and currency of the journal, and to maintain a high standard of critical writing. All submissions must be accompanied by an email or letter which will: * state clearly that the article/review etc is not submitted simultaneously for consideration to any other publication. * supply the author's institutional affiliation and the author's correspondence address. * a short abstract of the submission (up to 150 words), and up to five key-words. * a short biographical note is optional.
