Calls for Papers:

Conference on “Lynching and Racial Violence in America: Histories and Legacies” October 4-6, 2002, Emory University, Atlanta, GA Emory University invites proposals for an interdisciplinary conference addressing lynching and racial violence in an American context. The conference will be held in conjunction with the first Southern exhibition of photographs and postcards from the Allen-Littlefield collection, which document nineteenth and twentieth-century lynchings in the US. Sponsored by Emory and the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, the exhibition will run from May 1 through December 31, 2002. The specter of lynching, largely unacknowledged, continues to haunt the American landscape. Indeed, our present cultural context, traumatized by the shock of terrorist violence, calls for the painful reminder that many of our own citizens have been subjected to terrorist acts by their fellow citizens as a matter of course in their daily lives. We seek humanistic, social scientific, legal and other cross-disciplinary perspectives, as well as explorations of ongoing community and activist responses to racial violence and its legacies. We invite 250-word, double-spaced proposals for individual papers, or for complete panels with chair and commentator on topics related to any aspect of the theme of lynching, and racial violence in the US. Please send the abstract, a one-page c.v., and contact information (complete mailing address, email, phone number, and affiliation) for all participants referenced in the proposal. We encourage submissions from activists and students as well as professional scholars. Completed proposals are due on March 1, 2002 and should be sent to Miriam Petty, Special Project Coordinator, 315 Robert W. Woodruff Library, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322-2870. Please indicate if you require specific resources to support your presentation. Inquiries may be directed via email to WITNESS@listserv.cc.emory.edu.

Black Women's Politics/Cultural Expression - Special Issue Inter/Sections. The study of social and cultural movements has seldom included the cultural expression of women - particularly black women. This special issue examines how women of the black diaspora use various means of communication to articulate their position within a particular social or cultural movement. Specifically, the volume is a collection of interdisciplinary essays that address the role of black women as producers of revolutionary film, talk radio, television, folk art, music, literature, fashion, etc. Of central concern is the meaning(s) of their texts and the role that they play within the context of a particular movement. The issue will include a wide variety of social/cultural movements from various cultures and historical periods. Articles that address the audiences for these texts are especially encouraged. Submissions: The deadline for abstracts (approx. 500 words) and a copy of your c.v. is December 15. Submissions should be sent to Celeste A. Fisher and Katharine Sarikakis at Email: cfisher@mmm.edu, sarikakis@coventry.ac.uk. E-mail submissions are encouraged. Inter/Sections is an interdisciplinary journal that provides space for academics - especially emerging scholars who are stepping outside the boundaries of conventional academic scholarship in culture and communication.
