Call for Submissions
_Iconomania: studies in visual culture_

Iconomania is a refereed electronic journal that brings together outstanding
scholarly works addressing a  range of methodological and cultural
interests.  Located  in the Department of Art History at the University of
California, Los Angeles (USA), we are graduate students concerned with the
role of the visual, broadly defined to include the pictorial, sculptural,
spatial, architectural, corporal, filmic, performative, and so forth in any
culture, historical moment, geographic location, and milieu. Approaching the
visual as a cultural signifying system that shapes class, gender, racial,
and sexual subjectivities as it circulates, we aim to both engage and expand
the traditional objects of study in a wide array of disciplines. We seek
theoretically informed and historically grounded submissions of significant
scholarly interest=97though accessible to "web-surfing" non=96academics=97from
graduate students, independent scholars and established academics. Finally,
the journal supports projects exploring the prospects, conditions and
constraints for culture, identity and experience in our publishing medium,
the World Wide Web.

We are currently accepting for consideration papers, multi-media projects,
original digital art, and reviews of books, CD-ROMs and Web sites for the
volume to be published throughout the current academic year. The deadline
for the first installment of the cumulative volume is February 10, 1997 (but
we accept manu/digi-scripts continually). Submissions should be roughly 3000
words (plus notes conforming to the Chicago Manual of Style) and, where
possible, submitted in a digital media (see our Web site).
