CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

For an upcoming 2006-07 volume, The Journal of Bisexuality is planning an issue

BISEXUALITY AND FAMILY:
THEORIES AND PRACTICES IN ELECTIVE/EXPANDED KINSHIP, AFFINITY, AND
PARENTING

Possible foci are bisexuality and family practices like monogamy, non-monogamy,
responsible non-monogamy, polygamy, polyandry, and Polyamory; bisexuality and
nuclear, extended, expanded, elective, tribal, and cyberspace families;
bisexuality and the reproduction cycles: fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, child
rearing, sibling relating, biological and elective parents and relatives;
bisexuality and parenting, step-parenting, surrogate parenting, adoption, and
grand-parenting; bisexuality and incest; incest taboos and their transgression;
bisexuality and abuse.

Possible related foci include bisexuality and initiation rituals;
bisexuality and human development, including childhood, sexual awakening,
adolescence, young adulthood, maturity, ageing, later life, old age, senility,
gender, and transgenderism; the body, nudity, spirituality, health, disability,
illness, food, nurturing, care, affection, and erotic practices in bisexual
families; past and/or non-Western models of bisexual families.

We are interested in theoretical, critical, and research articles, reports from
the field, personal narratives, reviews, poems, and interviews. For articles, we
welcome a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, including
those based in disciplines like critical theory, philosophy, sociology,
psychology, legal studies, literature, cultural studies, anthropology, and
medical science. For the more experiential submissions, we welcome expertise in
the healing arts, the creative arts in general, the new spiritualities,
Polyamory, paganism, fetishism, DBSM, as well as past and/or non-Western
