BLACKLINES ISSUE 3: CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Black British Writing Complexities
In the forthcoming Issue 3, we intend to highlight a range of complexities that illuminate as well as stimulate questions about Black British Writing as a body of work. We welcome, for example, submissions that engage the following: the aesthetic complexity of specific genres of writing,representation of complex familial heritage and their meanings, geographical and historical complexity in the writing, analysis of experimentation with poetic and other forms, examination of Windrush complexities in the writing,and questioning of the UK’s university practice as well as that of publishing, and their impact on the corpus.
Rich in challenging and complex meanings, the writing tells of Black subjectivity and lived experience in several periods of an intensified global movement. How might these be contextualised, and/ or examined and understood from differing theoretical perspectives including decolonial poetics, creolisation, planetary entanglement (Mbembe), human ‘Other’ (Wynter) and feminism(s)?
BLACKLINES welcomes, especially, original creative writing, author interviews, book reviews, extracts from new publications, and so on.
To submit a proposed article, please send a brief Biog (100 words max) and an Abstract (800 words) [log in to unmask] by 31st May 2023. Papers should not exceed 10 pages double spaced, followed by brief Endnotes(altogether 5,000 words max). For creative submissions, please send a brief Biog (100 words max) and sample writing not exceeding 1000 words.
You are invited to send your proposals (Clearly marked ‘Proposal – Issue 3’) to <[log in to unmask]>
