[ecrea] CFP - Postscript: Children in Theory

To the degree that it is a social construction, childhood, as an idea,

carries
with it any number of assumptions and associations.  Conversely, as a
objective
developmental period, childhood is interpreted in wildly different way
within
different contexts.  Postscript: A Journal of Graduate Criticism and
Theory
invites articles for consideration for our Spring 2012 issue, a special
edition
on the theme "Children in Theory".  This issue will examine childhood
from a
multitude of perspectives.  We welcome submissions from any humanities
discipline on any aspect of children and childhood.

Possible topics include but are not limited to:

-literature or art for children
-representations of children
-care and discipline of children
-the education or instruction of children
-violence toward children
-the perspectives of children themselves
-the displacement of children
-childhood and class
-childhood and gender
-childhood and race

Postscript: A Journal of Graduate Criticism and Theory is an
interdisciplinary
journal published biannually through the Department of English at
Memorial
University of Newfoundland. Submissions will be subjected to a blind
peer
review process and will be accepted in English. Contributors in any
field of
the humanities who are currently enrolled in graduate or post-graduate
programs
or are recent graduates are eligible to submit. Articles should be
between 3000
and 5000 words, reviews should be approximately 1000 words.  Please send
a Word
file, with no identifying details, to the editor at (postscript /at/ mun.ca).
Please
also include on a separate document a brief (300 word) abstract, as well

last two
years and concerns aspects or representations of childhood, considered
for
review, please send an email to Alexandra Gilbert, Review Editor, at
