    An Electronic Journal of Critical Inquiry Published by the Students 
     	   	   of the University of Pennsylvania

__________________________________________________________________________


Other Voices, a new electronic journal based at the University of
Pennsylvania, has just released its first issue.  Other Voices is a
quarterly publication dedicated to interdisciplinary criticism in the
humanities and social sciences founded in March 1997 in response to the
limited number of local publications highlighting advanced undergraduate
and graduate work in the humanities. 

Other Voices is dedicated to publishing criticism and research that both
reflects current scholarship and highlights the diversity of the
University of Pennsylvania's academic environment.  It is not envisioned
as a forum for editorial opinion or discussion of current events per se,
but instead as a challenge to students who would wish to critically
analyze specific cultural products, contemporary thought, or our current
historical circumstances from withing a variety of discursive frames.  Its
format is conceived specifically as an alternative to both the
one-dimensionality common in standard political and literary publications,
and the superficiality of the op-ed newspaper piece.

			*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***


Other Voices is currently accepting submissions for its next issue (Vol. 1 
No. 2). These should be received (by email or post) NO LATER THAN: 

			    May 30th, 1997

Submissions recieved after that date will be held for future consideration.

In lieu of standard paper publication, Other Voices takes advantage of the
capabilities of the Internet for author/reader interaction, public
dialogue, and multimedia presentation.  Thus, submissions may take a
variety of forms ranging from more traditional academic essays and book
reviews to multimedia presentations involving video, inline images, sound
and text.  Individual issues of the journal are constructed around a core
of six to eight scholarly articles; one or two hypertext/multimedia
projects; a transcribed lecture, panel discussion or interview; and a
variable number of book reviews.  We strongly encourage our readership to
submit suggestions for projects falling outside of this scope. 

Submissions from any source are warmly welcomed; however, we especially
encourage participation by students of the University of Pennsylvania and
other regional universities in the local tri-state area.

Please consult the our site for specific information on formating
requirements.
