Subject: Call for Submissions: "Teaching Material Culture" (fwd)
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE: Teaching Material Culture
The editors of Transformations seek articles (5,000 - 10,000 words) and
media reviews (books, film, video, performance, art, music, etc. - 3,000
to 5,000 words) that explore the significance and uses of material
culture in a variety of pedagogical-from the classroom to the museum-and
disciplinary contexts-literature, women's and gender studies,
anthropology, folklore, history, psychology, sociology, art,
photography, geography, religion, working-class studies, ethnic studies,
cultural studies, science, and others. Essays should raise questions
concerning, for example, authenticity, art, craft, tradition, community,
or authority in relationship to the teaching of material culture
Multidisciplinary approaches that focus on-or include-discussions of
non-Western cultures are especially encouraged. Autobiographical
criticism, narrative scholarship, photo-essays, and experimental work
are welcome.
Topics might include: teaching material culture in K-12 and higher
education; museums and the appropriation and transformation of material
culture; gender and technology; the politics and pedagogy of the
archive; material culture and folklore; artifacts and identities;
material culture and family/domesticity; food rituals/celebrations; the
transmission of material culture in diasporic communities; history and
interpretation of public spaces; intersections and manifestations of
identities; clothes, costumes, fashion, and body politics; religious
practices; music and performance; practices and politics of
memorializing; the material construction of public events; make-overs
and reality television; class and taste; globalization, tourism, and
transnationalism.
