Post•hu•man•ous: A Special Edition of Reconstruction (4.3, 2004)

Post•hu•man•ous, adj.  From the combination of “posthumous” and 
“posthuman”; 1. Occurring or continuing after the death of the human: a 
posthumanous writing. 2. Published after the death of the Author: a 
posthumanous book. 3. Born after the death of the patriarchy: a 
posthumanous child. 4. Any activity which presumes the fatal limitation 
of the rational-humanist subject: a posthumanous subject.

The guest editors for Reconstruction 4.3 invite submissions on any 
aspect of the posthuman. Essays, cultural criticism, theory, book and 
media reviews, interviews, and creative works will be considered for 
this special edition.

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture is an innovative culture 
studies journal dedicated to fostering an intellectual community 
composed of scholars and their audience, granting them all the ability 
to share thoughts and opinions on the most important and influential 
work in contemporary interdisciplinary studies. The website, 
Reconstruction: An Interdisciplinary Culture Studies Community is meant 
to include both the journal (and those things published through it), as 
well as the other projects that are carried on by the contributors and 
editorial board. Reconstruction, the journal, is published quarterly, in 
the third week of January, April, July, October. Submissions must be 
received one month prior to the publication date for consideration; 
Reconstruction, the website, should be in constant flux, depending upon 
the activities of contributors to change it.

Deadline for Submissions, 1 March 2004. Review of queries, proposals, 
and papers begins immediately.

Contact: Please send all proposals, submissions, and queries via email 
to all three co-editors.
