  Please distribute widely, particularly to any and every relevant list
on the
  'Net.

  ************************
  QUEEN (www.ars-rhetorica.net) invites submissions to its second issue:
"Power
  and Re-colonization"

  Re-colonization finds its richest meanings triangulated with ideas of
  colonization and postcolonization, but it implies a  reinscription of
  power, either overt or naturalized, and has particular economic-capitalist
  origins and effects.

  The newness of this term invites theorization and generative
  reflection; in fact, successful submissions will theorize the idea of
  "re-colonization," offering suggestions as to the use and parameters of
the  idea.

  Areas might include cultural assimilation and domination through mass
media,
   re-organized racism, "market"-capitalist rhetorics and ethics, WTO,
China,
   colonization of the body and identity, 'virtual' colonization of internet
   space, effects of recolonization upon indigenous populations,
pharmaceutical
   companies and the Western responses to AIDS epidemic as re-colonization,
the
   contribution of "post-"colonial and "post-"modern studies to
recolonization,
    etc.

  Other areas of exploration might include reactions to recolonization:
therise of nationalisms, the related exponential growth of religious
fundamentalisms, the reshaping of the contours of the body as the last
domain of free
expression  (radical piercings, tattoo-ing, S&M), etc.

  Queen is dedicated to the intersection of discourses in the
humanities,  arts, and religion. We encourage submissions that draw from
varieties
of critical  approaches, e.g., visual culture methods and theories, literary
criticism,    intersectional analyses of class, gender, race and sexuality,
queer
theory,    post-colonial studies, post-structuralist philosophy, post-modern
analyses  of capitalism, cultural anthropology, cultural studies, economics,
bioethics  and science studies. All submissions should acknowledge a
multidisciplinary and critical audience.

  Because Queen is an online journal, we are especially interested in
  proposals that will take advantage of multimedia and hypertext
formats. We  accept standard academically formatted essays, but we also
encourage
all other  communication modes and genres, especially poetry and poetic
cycles,
and photographic essays.

  Submissions should be made by 1 October 2001 and sent to
  Queen at ars-rhetorica.net. Submissions (electronic only) should include:

  1) a brief abstract of the proposed submission;
  2) relevant professional/personal information;
  3) means by which to contact you;
  4) if possible, include the full work, and send it in RTF format
  5) photographs should be sent as JPEGs, or, preferably, as links to a
  portfolio site;
  6) photographic submissions should also include a brief abstract of
the artwork,
    essay, video, etc.

  If accepted, you will be asked to submit a photo of yourself and a
  brief blurb about yourself. See our website and journal for examples.

  Queen seeks to rejuvenate rhetoric studies, gender studies,
  culture-historical studies, and religious studies by experimenting with
cross-inter-sections
  of these disciplines.  Queen seeks to explore the ways in which power
shapes
  people and people shape power.
