Subject: AFTER ARCADES: Call for Papers (fwd) Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2000 00:53:10 -0500 (EST) From: malgosia askanas <ma-AT-panix.com> Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2000 15:32:43 -0600 From: manowak-AT-stkate.edu To: spoons-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu, cfp-AT-english.upenn.edu Subject: AFTER ARCADES: Call for Papers (Please Post) EXHIBITION UNDER CONSTRUCTION: After Arcades EXHIBITION UNDER CONSTRUCTION seeks to distractedly put on view--through unique methods of display--a flash of ideas inspired by Benjamin's <The Arcades Project>. We invite previously unpublished works that delve into the peripheral, the sensual, the historical, the distracted, and the everyday. The editors of this proposed volume are working under the premise that the traditional or standard academic volume of 15-20pg. prose essays is no longer solely capable of containing (or putting on view) works produced after the radical epistemological break that is Benjamin's <Arcades>. Instead, this anthology will serve as a forum/gallery for experimental works incorporating a wide variety of forms--from the feuilleton, photo-montage, trash, historical essay, single sentence, ficto-criticism, postscript and archival collage to the annotated bibliography, dream inscription, documentary poem, "empire vignette", and ethnography of distraction. Nervous, performative, sentient, visual, transient, poetic and overdetermined works are particularly welcome. Potential contributors are asked to examine the editors' two previously co-edited volumes--these suggest the range and poetics of submissions presently sought: <Performing Hybridity>, May Joseph and Jennifer Natalya Fink, editors, (University of Minnesota Press, 1999); and <Visit Teepee Town: Native Writings after the Detours>, Diane Glancy and Mark Nowak, editors, (Coffee House Press, 1999). Other possible prototype collections include <Encyclopedia Acephalica>, Georges Bataille et al (Atlas Press Reprint, London, 1995); back issues of the journal <Xcp: Cross-Cultural Poetics> (http://bfn.org/~xcp); POL(E)TICS: documenta X-the book (Cantz Press); Anyone Series (MIT Press); Zone Books; <Refusal of the Shadow: Surrealism and the Caribbean>, Translated by Michael Richardson and Krzysztof Fijalkowski (Verso, 1996);<Mimesis and Alterity>, Michael Taussig (Routledge, 1993); etc. Submissions for <EXHIBITION UNDER CONSTRUCTION> should be sent to both editors, at the addresses below, by September 1, 2001. Please include current c.v., e-mail address, and SASE with your submission. Send work to: Mark Nowak, editor <_Xcp: Cross-Cultural Poetics_> 601 25th Avenue South Minneapolis, MN. 55454 May Joseph Associate Professor, Global Studies Department of Social Science Pratt Institute 200 Willoughby Avenue Brooklyn, N.Y. 11205 -------- from list seminar-11-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu -------
