Please share this Call For Submissions.
I am working on a book with a friend at Hunter/CUNY, Christa Acampora. Our
working title is CULTURAL SITES OF CRITICAL
INSIGHT. The essays to be collected in the volume will explore the
relationship of philosophy, social theory, and/or aesthetics in the
cultural
productions of women of color. Cultural productions explored include
a broad range of artistic modes of expression such as literature,
poetry, screen/play writing, music, dance, film, pottery/ceramics,
and culinary and visual arts. Genres are loosely conceived such that
graffiti, tattoo art, body-piercing, and hairweaving are treated as
forms of corporal art. Interdisciplinary in method and analytical
scope, the papers examine how Native (American and Australian),
black (Caribbean, African, and American), Chicana/Latina, and
Asian/Pacific Islander women draw on and rework philosophical systems
of thought in terms of their own experiences to articulate fresh and
new perspectives on problems of culture, history, and knowledge. As
such, the essays show how the cultural productions of women of color
can be analyzed as sites of valuable philosophical reflection and
insight.
We are having difficulty recieving material on Native women's cultural
productions, and especially so on their literature (oral and written word).
We would greatly appreciate all submissions on Native (American and
Australian) women's cultural productions to help balance the volume.
Again, thank you so much for writing. Please feel free to call me
(cell-631.875.9672) for more questions and concerns. We look forward to
hearing from you.
Yours Truly,
Angela
