The Journal of Mundane Behavior, hosted by the Sociology Department and
the
School of Humanities and Social Sciences at California State University,
Fullerton, is a new on-line, inter- and cross-disciplinary journal
devoted
to developing the study of the "unmarked" -- the mundane aspects of
everyday
life. Taking as its premise that the study of the marked has been well
developed, JMB wants to turn those methodological and theoretical tools
to
those aspects of our lives that do not get scrutinized by normal studies
of
the world.
As such, we are issuing our inaugural call for papers. Because our
journal
is explicitly inter- and cross-disciplinary and, we hope, accessible to
the
public, we ask that authors refrain from discipline-specific jargon and
work
to develop an analysis readily understandable to scholars from other
fields
and interested readers outside the academy.
A list of suggestions as far as topics go, as well as complete submission
guidelines, are available on the JMB web site at
<http://www.mundanebehavior.org>. If there are any questions regarding
papers already under development or on other issues, please contact one
of
the Managing Editors, Scott Schaffer at <[log in to unmask]>, or
Myron
Orleans at <[log in to unmask]>.
We thank you for your time, and look forward to hearing from you soon.
