Bad Subjects:  Iraq War Culture Review Essays

Second call for review essays of culture and public phenomena
surrounding the Iraq War.

Bad Subjects is issuing an open call for review essays of 1500-3000
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 is 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.

Review essays began appearing in late 2004.  Essayists to date include
Dana Heller; John Leanos; Tomasz Kitlinski; Matteo Pasquinelli; and
others. See http://bad.eserver.org

This is currently an open-deadline call. Submit review essays as Word
attachments to Joe.Lockard@asu.edu (English Department, Arizona State
University).
