[Discussion] CFP: Bad Subjects -- Iraq War Culture (open deadline; journal issue)

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

Call for Reviews - Iraq War Culture
Bad Subjects
Issued: October 25, 2004
Deadline:  Open


Bad Subjects is issuing an open call for review essays of 1000-3000
words dealing with the cultural landscape created by the Iraq War.  We
are interested in essays that examine cultural products (art,
film/video, photography, writing, music, theater, dance, software) or
public-sphere phenomena (protests, political events, media coverage,
educational projects, public reports, law) that respond to the war and
its social environment.

This review essay series will be especially concerned to address issues
created by the ideologies of the American Empire and 'democratic
imperialism'; permanent military mobilization and domestic security
watches; diminution of civil liberties and human rights; religious
triumphalism and its relations with state violence; and the deepening of
economic inequalities and poverty under global capitalism.  How are such
issues reflected in Iraq War culture and challenged through cultural
critique? The editors will be interested equally in essays that review
resistant cultural or political responses to Iraq War culture.

Bad Subjects is a heterodox progressive journal publishing on 'the
politics of everyday life.'  It currently serves approximately 5000
readers daily from the English Server at Iowa State University and is
the oldest cultural studies publication on the Internet.  The journal is
located at <http://bad.eserver.org>.

This is currently an open-deadline call.  Submit review essays as Word

University) at Joe.Lockard@asu.edu <mailto:Joe.Lockard@asu.edu>.
