Date: Sat, 22 Apr 1995 12:50:42 -0700 From: chevere-AT-slip.net (Rene F. Poitevin) Subject: Capitalism and the Postmodern --Call for Papers CALL FOR PAPERS--CALL FOR PAPERS--CALL FOR PAPERS CAPITALISM AND THE POSTMODERN _Socialist Review_ is currently seeking articles for a special issue on contemporary developments in the analysis of capitalism and practices of anti-capitalist resistance in the midst of our postmodern age. We are looking for analyses which help us understand the mechanisms --and subjectivities-- behind current events: from Chiapas to the Chase Manhattan Bank, and from the implosion of the subject to the collapse of the dollar in the international markets. From postfordism to postcoloniality, SR is committed to furthering the debate around the relationships between postmodernism and capitalism. Possible topics for papers include: * Would capitalism be better understood as a dispersed set of practices rather than a systemic totality? How might this transform our understanding of what constitutes significant social change? * How is the production of subjectivities implicated in capitalist technologies and organizations? * Is marxism and postmodern analysis irreducibly antagonistic? * What are new models of resistance and mobilization in activist political struggles? What are the connections between capitalist processes and these emerging activist tactics and strategies? * How can postmodern theoretical approaches be useful for rethinking capitalism? How would an analysis of capitalism be useful for strengthening postmodern analysis? * How can aspects of social organization such as race, gender, and sexual orientation, among others, be incorporated within an overall frame of historical materialist analysis and class politics? Deadline for submission to Socialist Review for this special issue is August 1, 1995. Articles should be around 25 pages long. Please submit to: Socialist Review, 1095 Market St., Suite 618, San Francisco, CA 94103, Attn: Capitalism and the Postmodern.
