[ecrea] New cultural criticism journal seeks submissions

I am excited to announce that /American Asparagus/, a new journal of 
cultural criticism loosely affiliated with the University of Chicago, is 
accepting submissions through *July 1, 2013* for its first issue. We 
will publish a wide range of materials, but we are especially interested 
in essays ("academic" and otherwise) that focus on popular culture and 
criticism.

Our design is based on principles of /generative typography/: many 
stylistic elements of our final version(s) will be determined by 
somewhat random algorithms, so no two copies we print will ever be the 
same. Please see our website, www.americanasparagus.org 
<http://www.americanasparagus.org>, for more information on this topic. 
(We are preparing a short essay to explain the details, recent history 
and theory of this process. This will be posted to the website in the 
next few weeks.)

Feel free to send any work along through our website's submission form, 
or just send me a quick email. Please do pass this along to anyone who 
might be interested!

Thank you,

Melissa Scott
