IRAQ WAR CULTURE REVIEW ESSAYS
Bad Subjects

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

Bad Subjects [http://bad.eserver.org] 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 has been 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.

Contributors have included Joyce Goggin, Dana Heller, John Leanos, Matteo
Pasquinelli, Francis Shor, and more.  For the review series to date, see
http://bad.eserver.org/reviews/2005/

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