CFP: Call for submissions to the premier issue of Red Feather: An

International edia Culture. The first issue will be published in the

Spring

of 2010 with the second issue coming out later in the Fall.



Red Feather facilitates an international dialogue among scholars and

professionals through vigorous discussion of the intersections between the

child image and the conception of childhood, children's material culture,

children and politics, the child body, and any other conceptions of the

child within local, national, and global contexts. The journal invites

critical and/or theoretical examination of the child image to further our

understanding of the consumption, circulation, and representation of the

child throughout the world's visual mediums. Some sample topics include,

but are certainly not limited to: studies of images of children of color;

child as commodity; images of children in Africa, Asia, Middle East, South

America, etc.; political uses of the child image; children in film;

children in advertising; visual adaptations of children's literary works;

child welfare images; children and war; or any other critical examination

of the child image in a variety of visual mediums.



Red Feather is published twice a year, in February and September, and

adheres to the MLA citation system. Authors may submit articles in other

citations systems, with the understanding that conversion to MLA is a

condition of acceptance.



Interested contributors please submit the paper, an abstract, and a brief

biography as attachments in Word to [log in to unmask]
