Subject: [media-culture] CALL FOR PAPERS


'Identity is sustained across encounters' (I.Chambers)

New Project - Call for contributions to:

On the Move: the Net, the Street and the Community

Since I have thoroughly enjoyed co-editing (with Simon Murray of the 
University College of Ripon and York) a book addressed to students of 
English and cultural studies, entitled Britishness and Cultural 
Studies: Continuity and Change in Narrating the Nation (Katowice: 
Slask, 2000) (ISBN 83-71-64-222-9), I have now accepted an invitation 
to publish a new book entirely on the net through my involvement with 
a new online electronic book publishing company at www.write-on-
line.co.uk . The work with authors from both Poland and England has 
brought new inspiration for another international project.

On the Move will not be a strictly academic collection. Nor will it 
be addressed to just students, but it is designed to include travel 
narratives, and other creative and critical writing on the subject of 
travel, borders, barriers, diasporic experience, migrations, the net, 
the street, the community, and encounters. So far, we have works and 
commitments from New York, Boston, Texas, London, Canada, the West 
Indies, Costa Rica, Italy, Israel, Finland and Poland: - black, 
white; European, American, West Indian; Asian, Scottish, English, 
Italian, Polish; male/female, city, country; also gay, feminist, ... 
in all its combinations.... ; we co-operate with academics, writers, 
photographers, artists, journalists and filmmakers.... We are 
inclusive and extend our welcome to everybody! 

As it is a collection by various writers and artists we are waiting 
for the contributions until 31st November 2000 (earlier submission 
possible too), but because of a very good response to this project we 
are also thinking about a follow-up (and of conventional publishing). 
The volume will be edited and published in a downloadable e-book 
format with our 50% royalty fees split between all the writers 
involved. 

If you could not commit yourself but could recommend another author, 
or recommend another author as well as commit yourself - please do 
not hesitate to do so. I am hoping to get a WIDE range of writing, 
styles, problematics, experiences and approaches... You can view the 
present open list of contributors at our site in the Non Fiction 
section. The list does not give the titles and problematics, but they 
include: black and Jewish diasporas and related subjects (on the move 
to stability, mum on the run, Saphardic Jews, gay Jewish literature 
and experience, Black British experience of Home and Abroad, etc 
etc.);Polish immigration in New York, migration of Polish immigrants 
in the US in the 20thc, Polish Jews; better passports; urban 
wallpaper; critique of cyber-feminism from postcolonial feminist 
perspective; Vidal's relocations and writing; Dracula readership - 
the construction of an Eastern European monster; porn on the net; 
tourism; on the move - philosophy of life, a poetic account; gender 
on the net; identity on the net, etc.

On the Move is The WriteOnLine Publishing Company's biggest project 
yet. Visit us at http://www.write-on-line.co.uk/ and you will see 
that we are just starting to publish fiction, non-fiction, drama, 
film, photography, and other forms of media art exclusively online. 
We will soon be ready to launch a range of new projects to fill our 
site with literature and art by a variety of artists and writers from 
various locations. We are based in London, but welcome material from 
international writers and other artists. 

I look forward to hearing from you.
