Subject: CFP: "Technology and Historiography" (Reconstruction 4.1)
Please forward to potentially interested parties:
Technology has long been considered not only as a discrete tool but as a
system for organizing ideas, practices, and politics. Our understanding
of technology both as a tool and an ideology has been shaped recently by
widespread and pronounced discourses of the "new": identities,
interfaces and institutions. To complicate and perhaps reject the
corporate presentism that tends to pervade such accounts, we invite
submissions for exploring the place of technology in history. Why is
technology important for thinking not just about the present but about
the past? How has technology changed our very ideas about history? About
the writing of history? The Winter 2004 issue of Reconstruction,
"Technology and Historiography," will be dedicated to exploring these
questions.
Reconstruction <http://www.reconstruction.ws> is a culture studies
journal dedicated to fostering an intellectual community composed of
scholars and their audience, granting them all the opportunity and
ability to share thoughts and opinions on the most important and
influential work in contemporary interdisciplinary studies.
"Technology and Historiography" will be published January 21, 2004.
Submissions should be received no later than October 13, 2003 for
consideration. This issue is guest-edited by Haidee Wasson, McKnight
Landgrant Professor of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature at
the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
Submissions are encouraged from a variety of perspectives, including,
but not limited to: geography, cultural studies, folklore, architecture,
history, sociology, psychology, communications, music, political
science, semiotics, theology, art history, queer theory, literature,
criminology, urban planning, gender studies, theater and performance
studies, etc. Both theoretical and empirical approaches are welcomed.
In matters of citation, it is assumed that the proper MLA format will be
followed. Other citation formats are acceptable in respect to the
disciplinary concerns of the author.
All submissions and submission queries should be written care of
