CALL FOR PAPERS
LITERATURE AND MEDICINE is a journal devoted to exploring
interfaces between literary and medical knowledge and
understanding. Issues of illness, health, medical science,
violence, and the body are examined through literary and cultural
texts. Our readership includes scholars of literature, history, and
critical theory, as well as health professionals.
Literature and Medicine is published semiannually by the Johns
Hopkins University Press. The first issue of each year is a
thematic issue, the second a general one. The Fall 2001 issue,
accessible through Project Muse (see link below), is the first issue
published by the new editors, Rita Charon, M.D., Ph.D. of the
Department of General Medicine at Columbia University and Maura
Spiegel, Ph.D. of Columbia University, English and Comparative
Literature Department.

The deadline for Spring 2003 Special Issue (Infection and
Contagion) is May 15, 2002
The Spring Special Issue of Literature and Medicine is devoted to
the notion of infection. Possible subjects include the
epistemological, moral, social, historical, emotional, and political
dimensions of infection as we see them articulated in texts by
such authors as Sophocles, Boccaccio, Defoe, Poe, Dickens,
Artaud, Camus, and Krushner. Essays might address bio-
terrorism, scapegoating, the mystery of human connection, the
social responses to epidemic, various practices of "othering" that
have occurred throughout history, and infectivity and contagion in
the processes of writing, reading, and criticism.
Manuscripts should be between 4,000 and 6,000 words long for the
special issue and should be submitted in triplicate, with text and
notes typewritten and double-spaced, and prepared according to
the guidelines in The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th edition.
Literature and Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal. Authors' names
should appear only on a cover sheet and any identifiers in the text
