>Feminist Cultural Production: Critical Debates and Practices
>Guest Editors: Janice Hladki and Karen Stanworth
>
>The Guest Editors and the Editorial Board of RFR/DRF would like to
>solicit original manuscripts for publication in an upcoming issue on
>Feminist Cultural Production. Contributions will examine the broadening
>field of feminist cultural production as well as feminist critiques and
>dilemmas arising from cultural practices. A growing concern for both
>the symbolic and material importance of cultural representations
>suggests a need for attention to the histories, methodologies, and
>strategies underlying feminist cultural production. We seek research
>articles and shorter discussion papers that engage concerns in feminist
>cultural production, such as the impact of relations of power;
>institutional and systemic issues; social identities and politics of
>difference; agency, subjectivity, and performativity; ethics;
>pedagogies; technologies; audiences, reception and consumption;
>interventions, resistances, and cultural appropriations.

>Research Articles
>
>Discourses, Methodologies, Theories: This section addresses
>broad-ranging questions concerned with the intersection of feminist
>research and cultural production. This may include foci such as the
>impact of theoretical perspectives on cultural production;
>methodological complications of inter-disciplinary research; feminism
>and cultural pedagogies; implications of social relations of race,
>class, sexuality/ gender, etc. for cultural practices; the effects of
>discursivities, politics, and the desire for agency.
>
>Situated Practices and Histories: This section is concerned with the
>analysis of specific instances, contexts, local histories, and social
>practices of cultural production. Articles may focus on various objects
>of cultural production ranging from bus shelter ads, activist
>performances, opera, political videography, visual artwork, cultural
>technologies, public sites. These may explore concerns regarding
>inclusions and exclusions, institutional conditions, consumption and
>reception, the politics of representation, social planning and policy.
>
>Discussion and Commentary Papers
>
>These shorter papers provide an opportunity for reflection on
>experiences in research, teaching, and production.
>
>A research article or discussion paper may take on a textual format that
>extends the challenge to epistomologies and textualities, which shape
