http://www.uky.edu/ArtsSciences/SocTheo/DisClosure/cfp11.htm

disClosure no. 11 will address a broad range of issues by and through which 
the metropolis is thought, experienced, represented, and dreamed. 
Contributions from an array of theoretical perspectives are welcome, 
including, but not limited to: feminism, poststructuralism, critical 
theory, Marxism, queer theory, psychoanalysis, and postcolonialism. We 
invite submissions that take up any aspect of the metropolis. Possible 
themes and topics might include:

* temporalities, transformations (the metropolis in history, decline & 
revitalization, gentrification, the future(s) of the metropolis...)
* forms, structures, architectures (morphologies, neighborhoods, sprawl, 
infrastructures & subterranean spaces, buildings, styles...)
* movements, flows (transportation, velocities, (im)migrations, capital, 
communications, digitality...)
* identities (race & racialization, sexuality, gender, class, ethnicity, 
postcoloniality, desire & fear, the body...)
* power (policing, surveillance, criminalization, social exclusions...)
* boundaries, transgressions, contestations (public & private spheres, 
protests, rallies, riots & revolutions, squatters...)
* theories, discourses, representations (urban planning, new urbanism, 
reading & writing the city, literature & film, memory...)
* visuality, aesthetics, spectacle (flâneurie, cinematic cities, graffiti, 
murals, fashion, music, fairs & parades, street & night life, tourism...)
* social justice (labor & civil rights movements, segregation, homelessness...)
* political economies (wealth & poverty, urban governance, postindustrial 
restructurings, entrepreneurial cities...)
* the sacred & the profane (holy cities, pilgrimages, memorials, utopias & 
dystopias, slums, environmental degradation...)
* rethinking the metropolis through its Others (rural & urban spatialities, 
suburbs & exurbs, towns & villages, urban agriculture...)

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: February 16, 2001

About disClosure: a journal of social theory
    disClosure invites submissions from all theoretical perspectives and 
genres (essay interview, review, prose, poetry, artwork) from authors and 
artists concerned with social theory -- whether academically affiliated or 
not. disClosure is a blind refereed journal produced in conjunction with 
the Committe on Social Theory at the University of Kentucky. Editorial 
decisions are based solely on quality and originality.
    Articles in past issues of disClosure have broadly engaged material of 
interest to readers in the humanities, social  sciences, and arts. In the 
past, editorial collective members have interviewed: David Roediger, Linda 
Alcoff, Alexander Cockburn, Jane Flax, David Harvey, Chantal Mouffe, Gloria 
Anzaldua, Paul Taylor, Cindi Katz, bell hooks and others. Art and poetry 
submissions from international contributors and more local sites have also 
appeared in disClosure as important expressions relating to the themes 
considered.

more than 10,000 words. Manuscripts, notes, and bibliographies should
