SOCIAL TEXT
The Social Text Collective is pleased to accept papers for a forthcoming
special dossier on the work of Edward Said.
Deadline: September 30, 2004
The editors of Social Text invite contributors to pay tribute to Edward
Said, an admired colleague and friend. In its first issue Social Text
published Edward Said's essay, "Zionism from the Standpoint of Its Victims"
(1979), a chapter in the then forthcoming book, The Question of Palestine,
and, almost a decade later, the journal dedicated a special issue to
"Colonial Discourse," featuring an interview with Said, along with essays
dialoguing with his work.
As a way of remembering Edward Said, Social Text announces a special issue
edited by Gyan Prakash and Ella Shohat. This issue hopes to reflect on
themes central to Said's work, highlighting his interventions in the
politics of knowledge, and his impact on a number of fields. In the spirit
of Said's writings, we invite contributions that cross geographical and
disciplinary boundaries, while also reflecting on his life and work in
relation to the major transformations, shifts and contradictions in our
intellectual and political landscape.
Papers should be submitted by e-mail if possible, as an attachment saved in
Microsoft Word. The text should be double-spaced, no more than 8,000 words,
with numbered endnotes. For style, please follow the Chicago Manual of
Style, 15th edition. The author's name, affiliation, address and telephone
number should be listed on the front page of each copy.
