I. The Iowa Journal of Cultural Studies is currently soliciting submissio=
ns
for an upcoming special issue on:

NOSTALGIA

Guest Editors: Tom Lutz and Sean Scanlan

What are the most recent manifestations of nostalgia, and what are the
theoretical implications of the desire to return to a lost place and time=
?
Critics such as Fredric Jameson claim that nostalgia represents a crisis =
of
history, but yearning for a lost past can also mean a yearning for a mode
of representing the loss, hence, nostalgia is also linked to a crisis of
aesthetics. Considered a medical condition associated with homesickness i=
n
the late 1700s, nostalgia has transcended both medicine and psychology, a=
nd
has been dispersed into all facets of culture. Nostalgia still carries it=
s
etymological heritage of yearning for a lost home, but through the 1980s
and 90s, the term became attached to political allegiances, to problems o=
f
theorizing history, and to models of consumerism. It is now time to revis=
it
nostalgia, to move it forward, and to see how it has changed.

For this special issue we are interested in investigating the role of
nostalgia as it is engaged by both the academy and popular culture. Is
there a new nostalgia? Is nostalgia a form of psychological whiplash, a
cultural style, the abdication of memory, an aesthetic treatment, an
ornament, a technique, a part of the narrative of history, or a part of t=
he
narrative of critical theory? Possible topics include, but are not limite=
d
to: representations of nostalgia in literature, film, television,
architecture, music, art, entertainment, criticism and theory, memoir,
fashion; nostalgia as it relates to modernism, postmodernism, memory,
aesthetics, history, medicine, and psychology; and nostalgia in the
historical novel, black and white photography and film, technology, and
politics.

The Iowa Journal of Cultural Studies, a refereed academic journal produce=
d
at the University of Iowa, is dedicated to publishing cultural studies wo=
rk
from both established scholars and emerging critics. Our goal is to prese=
nt
the best in contemporary criticism while fostering conversations across
disciplinary and ideological divides.

Please submit papers no later than May 7, 2004 to:

III. CFP: White Male Embodiment (04/01/04; Collection)

We are gathering articles for a proposed collection on the white male
body as text and representation.

Recently, a number of scholars have responded to the lack of scholarship
pertaining to manhood and the male body, and have paid increasing
attention to the role and status of white men. This recent work suggests
that embodying white men usefully dismantles the myth of a monolithic
disembodied privileged white manhood. Not surprisingly, this still
relatively new focus on the white male body and white male difference
has provided a beginning rather than an end and still leaves a
significant gap.

This collection aims to help fill a particular gap by focusing
specifically on fictional and historical white male figures whose
bodies are inscribed or made visible and thus extend and challenge
narratives of white male disembodiment. We are interested in how
different historical forces/politics/systems such as monarchy, science,
imperialism, industrialism, and nationhood have produced narratives and
representations of embodied white men. We are also interested in how
these bodily texts in turn produce, represent, and/or threaten specific
historical/social/political contexts. Papers may deal with the
literature of any country and any time period but must offer arguments
that are rooted in specific historical and cultural contexts. Papers
that deal with periods prior to the nineteenth century
are especially welcome.
