_POSTSCRIPT_
Requires submissions for its upcoming special issue:
ART AND THE ACADEMY
_Postscript: A Journal of Graduate Criticism and Theory_, is a journal
put out annually by the graduate students at the Department of English
at Memorial University of Newfoundland, for graduate students'
interdisciplinary academic work. Submitted essays are subjected to
blind review, and are reviewed by either graduate students or faculty
members, depending on the area of specialization. Postscript welcomes
the submission of essays on literature, language, theory and pedagogy.
Our next issue is a special issue on the relationship between art and
academia. Some suggested topics for this issue include, but are not
restricted to, the following:
— the creative world versus the academic world (theorizing the
"creative" versus the "academic" cultures; the status of either or both
(including funding); the interaction or mutual exclusivity of the two;
tensions between the two
— theories of pedagogy and/or programs (degrees in either creative or
academic or both, or teaching in either or both the creative and/or
academic ‘camps')
— theorizing the representation of authors/academic scholars in fiction
— theorizing authors and/or academics as icons
— mediating between academic and creative writings (profs/students who
practice both)
— value of "art" (creative) versus the value of academia (theory)
— art and academia and issues of identity
(sex/gender/race/ethnicity/class/religion)
— the debate on wether the author is dead, the reader is privileged, or
the author's intension is revisited
— responding to the cultural myth that all academics are failed
creative writers who have "pen" envy
— academic/creative vampirism (an exchange?)
— what happens when theorists or academics write fiction/poetry?
— is theory a form of Art? Is it a "creative" form? Is it fiction?
Papers responding to these and other issues of this current debate
within the humanities are encouraged. Papers should be 3000-5000 words,
unpublished, and in order to ensure anonymity, must include a cover page
with contact information, the title of the paper, and a brief,
biographical note. Papers will be returned only if a document-sized
SASE is included. Submissions also require both a hardcopy and the
paper on computer disc in Wordperfect format only.
Submissions should be sent/postmarked by June 30.
