*(Image)ining Resistance*
Editors: Keri Cronin and Kirsty Robertson Queen=92s University, Kingston,
Ontario

We are seeking contributions for a collection of essays tentatively
titled (Image)ining Resistance. Our aim is to encourage
interdisciplinary approaches and critical examinations that address the
use of visual imagery in social and activist movements throughout
history. From banners embroidered for suffragette actions, to the impact
of photographs taken in Soweto in 1976, to political puppets created for
recent global justice demonstrations, the intersections between visual
culture and activism relate a rich history with transnational and
transideological import. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged, as
are essays addressing a wide range of historical periods, geographic
regions and protest actions.

Topics might include, but are not limited to:

      the image as a tool of persuasion the image as a site of
      resistance =93activist=94 art anarchist art media coverage of prote=
sts
      and demonstrations protest as performance culture jamming
      historical analyses of art and protest

Please submit a 500 word abstract and one page c.v., including name and
email address to both Keri Cronin 9jklc@qlink.queensu.ca and Kirsty
Robertson 9kmr@qlink.queensu.ca by August 1, 2004.

Though we prefer email submissions, snail mail submissions can be sent to=
