[ecrea] call for abstracts for new anthology on gender/sexuality/media
Sat Jul 04 12:19:45 GMT 2009
Gender, Sexuality/ies and the Media:
Communicating Identity in a Post-Ironic Age (working title)
An anthology of new essays, edited by Karen Ross
(for Wiley-Blackwell), to be published in 2011
Call for abstracts
Hello colleagues ? I have been invited by
Wiley-Blackwell to edit an anthology of new
writing on topics associated with the terms of
the title. The anthology is likely to comprise
approximately 30 chapters of between 7000 and
9000 words each (including footnotes and
references). I am therefore seeking expressions
of interest in contributing to the anthology. I
am still at the planning stage, but imagine that
the book will be organised around specific media
which will definitely include television, radio,
print and web, but could also extend to other
entertainment media such as popular literature,
film and music depending on the scope and
breadth of submissions received. This organising
concept might also change in the light of the
character of the final commissioned essays, so
in the first instance, the expression of
interest should take the form of a short
abstract (300-500 words) on a topic which speaks
to some aspect of the gender/media and/or
sexuality/ies/media relationship, not excluding
topics which speak to multiple identity
positions and their media frames. At this
stage, all topics are welcome and encouraged.
I am still putting together the proposal
so an early response to this invitation would
be most welcome as I plan to submit the
proposal by mid-August and would like to
include an indication at least of the kind of
material which the anthology will cover and
hopefully with some potential named contributors as well!
The likely timescale (after receipt of
abstracts) is that authors whose topics are
selected to be developed as draft chapters (on
the basis of the abstract) will have a deadline
of mid-2010 for first drafts, late fall 2010
for any required revisions, with a likely publication date of summer 2011.
If you interested in contributing a
chapter to the anthology, please send me your
abstract as above, by Monday 3 August 2009 and
I very much look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Karen Ross
