Call for Papers:  Catastrophe and Representation

Images of catastrophe increasingly assault us through the media. The 
world is
reeling from the effects of war, natural disasters, famine, and disease.
Violence - natural and unnatural - has become a standard motif in 
contemporary
storytelling, cultural documentation and sociopolitical reportage. How, 
then, is
such representation captured and characterized? What is being said and 
unsaid,
and why? Is catastrophe a comparative experience?

The editors of the Florida Atlantic Comparative Studies literary journal 
invite
submissions on any aspect of this topic for its Fall 2006 edition. 
Deadline for
submissions has been extended to March 1, 2006. FACS is an interdisciplinary
journal providing a forum for comparative study in the arts, humanities,
language, culture and social sciences.

Possible topics include but are not limited to exploring representations of
catastrophe as:

- natural and unnatural

- public and private

- iconic/symbolic

- identity (gender, race, class)

- performance

- literary critique

- media art

- rhetoric and communications

- discovery

- socio-political commentary

- synchronic / diachronic interpretation


Papers should be no more than 25 pages or approximately 7,000 words, and 
should
follow the most recent MLA guidelines. A separate title page should 
include the
author's name and address. The author's name should not appear on the 
manuscript
pages to allow for blind review.

Send two hard copies and a CD of the manuscript to:
FACS Editor
Department of Languages and Linguistics
Florida Atlantic University
777 Glades Road
P.O. Box 3091
Boca Raton, FL 33341-0991

E-mail submissions should be sent to facs_at_fau.edu. All electronic 
versions
should be submitted in Microsoft Word.
