FEMSPEC, an interdisciplinary, international feminist journal dedicated to
creative and critical works in the realms of magic realism, surrealism,
science fiction and gender-challenging literature and art, is planning two
special issues:
CALL FOR JEWISH MAGIC REALISM ISSUE:
focusing on Jewish women's magic realism, fantasy and
speculative works. We are looking for works that explore and transcend the
boundaries between dream and reality in any media and form--from poetry and
photography to personal essays and critical interpretations. Deadline: March
1, 2000. Contact the guest editor, Ruth Knafo Setton, directly for more
information: RKSetton@aol.com

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S HORROR
Essays are invited on all forms of women's horror- texts, films, TV and
other forms, from a variety of international contexts. Essays can
concentrate on establishing ways in which women have been figured in
horror and the kinds of cultural practices and beliefs which this
springs from. They should also concentrate on examples of women's
writing back against stereotypical horror representations of women, how
contemporary women writers re-configure the vampire, werewolf, mummy,
witch and Medusa figures among others. What kinds of social sexual and
cultural messages are being sent in some of the lively contemporary
women's vampire writing? in popular fiction? in comics? in TV episodes
e.g. Buffy the vampire slayer and Xena , the X files and so on ?
Essays will be refereed supportively and then authors will be invited
if necessary to resubmit after alterations.
