From: mwolf-m-AT-bgnet.bgsu.edu Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2003 21:40:34 -0500 Subject: CFP: "Technology and Historiography" (Reconstruction 4.1) Please forward to potentially interested parties: Technology has long been considered not only as a discrete tool but as a system for organizing ideas, practices, and politics. Our understanding of technology both as a tool and an ideology has been shaped recently by widespread and pronounced discourses of the ^Ónew^Ô: identities, interfaces and institutions. To complicate and perhaps reject the corporate presentism that tends to pervade such accounts, we invite submissions for exploring the place of technology in history. Why is technology important for thinking not just about the present but about the past? How has technology changed our very ideas about history? About the writing of history? The Winter 2004 issue of Reconstruction, ^ÓTechnology and Historiography,^Ô will be dedicated to exploring these questions. Reconstruction <http://www.reconstruction.ws> is a culture studies journal dedicated to fostering an intellectual community composed of scholars and their audience, granting them all the opportunity and ability to share thoughts and opinions on the most important and influential work in contemporary interdisciplinary studies. ^ÓTechnology and Historiography^Ô will be published January 21, 2004. Submissions should be received no later than October 13, 2003 for consideration. This issue is guest-edited by Haidee Wasson, McKnight Landgrant Professor of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Submissions are encouraged from a variety of perspectives, including, but not limited to: geography, cultural studies, folklore, architecture, history, sociology, psychology, communications, music, political science, semiotics, theology, art history, queer theory, literature, criminology, urban planning, gender studies, theater and performance studies, etc. Both theoretical and empirical approaches are welcomed. In matters of citation, it is assumed that the proper MLA format will be followed. Other citation formats are acceptable in respect to the disciplinary concerns of the author. All submissions and submission queries should be written care of submissions-AT-reconstruction.ws. Large files, such as Flash movies or essays with many large pictures, should be sent on a zip disk or CD-R to: Reconstruction 104 East Hall Bowling Green State University Bowling Green, OH 43402 Please visit us at http://www.reconstruction.ws Davin Heckman & Matthew Wolf-Meyer, Editors --- from list film-theory-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
