Journal of War and Culture Studies: Themed Issue: The Spanish Civil War
Profoundly Spanish in origin, yet almost immediately internationalized, the Spanish Civil War had a marked impact on the politics and culture of many nations. Considered by many of its generation as the first ideological war, it has become for many since a precursor of the Second World War sometimes subsumed into, or obscured by, this latter in our memory of the period. Yet, its significance continues to be reflected in a variety of cultural representations of the conflict emanating from many different nations and cultures and in its continual pertinence and interest as a subject of historical research. In 2009, the Journal of War and Culture Studies (published by Intellect Books) will be devoting an issue to the Spanish Civil War. This issue will seek to explore the impact of the Spanish Civil War upon the culture of those nations directly or indirectly involved in the conflict itself, examining the dynamic, shaping force that the war became for many artists, writers, and intellectuals throughout the world from 1936 to the present. The editors therefore welcome papers examining these aspects of the Civil War in both European and non-European representations of it.

Articles should be written in English and of 5 – 6000 words in length. They should be sent to Helena Scott (H.Scott@westminster.ac.uk) at the University of Westminster by the 1st April 2009. Articles should be submitted in accordance with Intellect’s guidelines to be found at http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/auth/links/StyleGuide.pdf.

Call for Submissions: Spilling Over: A Fat, Queer Anthology
Editor: Jessica Giusti, Feminist Studies Ph.D. Student, University of Minnesota
Contact: spillingover@gmail.com Submission Deadline: December 1, 2008

Despite the attention given by queer studies to the materiality of bodies and the cultural and social inscriptions that designate them, still a dearth of both scholarship and literature exists around intersections of gender, sexuality, and fatness. As fat studies begins to emerge as a viable academic location of inquiry, questions surface as to how fat bodies, deemed “excessive” in their trespasses of size and space, create even more complex subject positions when compounded by queer desires. This proposed anthology seeks contributions addressing junctions of “fat” and “queer” in pieces that consider the representations and resistances of non-normative corporeality and also writings considering the theoretical conceptions of these intricate subjectivities. Spilling Over will reflect the notions of excess, boundaries, and containment implied by the labels “fat” and “queer” both singularly and collectively. In the form of scholarly writing and creative non-fiction pieces, essay submissions might consider (but are not limited to):

• theorizing the concept of “excess” as it pertains to fatness and queerness
• fat and queer identities; personal narratives; reclaiming “fat” and “queer”
• notions of (in)visibility, hypervisibility, and passing and/or privilege
• intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, (dis)ability, age, and religion
• the economics of the obesity “epidemic” and the diet industry
• fat, queer art and performance; performativity
• pleasure, sex-positivity, eroticizing non-normative bodies
• acceptance movements, political activism, resistance
• the engagement of feminism with fatness • global, transnational, transcultural constructions of fat, queer bodies and lives • critical reflections of fatness and queerness in media, literature, film, music, and visual arts
• the rhetoric of fat oppression, fatphobia, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, responding to and/or addressing hate speech

By December 1, 2008, please send your 2,000 – 6,000 word submission, along with your complete contact information and a 50-100 word biography, to spillingover@gmail.com with the subject line of “Spilling Over – Submission.” Submissions must be received in 12 point Times New Roman font and sent in via Word documents (PDFs will not be accepted). Pieces will be reviewed and decisions made by April 2009. Please note that accepted submissions will be approved on a tentative basis, pending editorial board approval once the anthology has secured a publisher.

Questions can be directed to me at spillingover@gmail.com or visit the MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/spillingoveranthology

GEMELA E- JOURNAL (Call in Word2003)
Grupo de Estudios de la Mujer de España y las Américas, pre-1800 http://www.gemela.org
Call for Papers, Inaugural Issue, Summer 2009
Embodying Women’s Culture: The Hispanic Atlantic, 1500-1800
Officially founded in 1999 and an Allied Organization of the Modern Languages Association, GEMELA (formerly AEEA) strives to unite scholars across traditional disciplinary boundaries through its focus on women's cultural production in medieval and early modern Spain and colonial Latin America, pre-1800. Our purpose is to distribute information and knowledge about women and their role as cultural producers. Our conferences and publications encourage teaching and research based on all approaches related to our principal field of inquiry.

The focus of this issue springs from the theme of GEMELA’s fall 2008 conference, and reflects increasing scholarly attention to transatlantic studies and continuing interest in feminist body studies. The body, the senses, and material culture mediated women’s place in Hispanic social contexts, but they also call attention to women’s agency: self-fashioning, speech, writing, listening, and visual perception. We expect to use the Atlantic as a complex space of analysis; proposals are encouraged to move beyond the national as a critical category and to explore women’s writings and cultural productions from an intercultural, comparative perspective. Emphasis could include the points of intersection between Atlantic cultures and such processes as creolisation, hybridity, and translation.

Suggested topics, all of which refer to women’s writings and cultural productions in the early modern and colonial period, include (but are not limited to):

Dress and Self-Presentation
Visual Culture
Aurality and Orality
Language, Codes, and Silences
Spaces and Movement
Textual Authority
Mediated Voices
Sexuality and the Erotic Imagination

Essays in English and Spanish will be accepted. Articles should be approximately 17-22 pages in length (no more than 8,500 words), double spaced, Times New Roman 12-1”, in MLA style with endnotes, and in Word format. Please attach a separate cover sheet with the title, author’s name, affiliation, and e-mail address; no identification should be included in the body of the article itself, as the reviews will be anonymous.

Deadline for submitting essays: November 1. Contributors must be members of GEMELA at the time of submission; instructions for joining may be found at: http://www.gemela.org/join.html.

Please submit articles to both:
Stacey Schlau (sschlau@wcupa.edu) and Emilie Bergmann (elb@berkeley.edu)

ENCICLOPEDIA CON GREENWOOD PRESS
Dear members of the Asociación Femenina de Literatura Hispánica, Dr. Salvador Oropesa, of Kansas State University, and I are writing to invite you to collaborate in an exciting, three-volume work to be published by Greenwood Press.

The working title is World Literature in Spanish: An Encyclopedia. The orientation of the work is somewhat reminiscent of the Feminist Encyclopedia of Spanish Literature (edited by Janet Pérez and me), with some difference regarding the audience and the lesser emphasis on bibliography. We are editing as we go, and aim to submit a finished ms.
draft to Greenwood by late summer 2009.

As much as possible, we wish to submit topical entries rather than using the traditional biographical format, and as we enter this next stage of soliciting contributions, we also encourage contributors to propose topical entries that would combine 3 or more biographical items on our working master list.

To receive a copy of the final 3-volume work, contributors must author a minimum total of around 3,000 words. Those who author fewer entries will receive a very modest honorarium. We normally give authors 3 months from the date of acceptance of commission to complete the entries. This deadline can be extended once, for an additional 3 months. Once a contributor has completed a commission, we are willing to be somewhat more flexible, but we have found that the short turnaround does keep the project on track fairly well.

I attach herewith our contributor guidelines, which explain further the parameters of the project, and also the working Master List of Entries, in the hope that you will find entries that appeal to your expertise, or know of a topical entry that would allow us to eliminate 2 or more biographical one. I have also attached 2 completed entries, so you may see concrete examples of what we desire.

We hope you will be able to collaborate with us on this exciting project.
Please let either me or Salvador know if you have any questions we can answer.

Sincerely,

Dr. Maureen Ihrie
