CFP: Latino Cultural Studies (1/15/2000)
Latino Cultural Studies
an on-line publication
Latino Graduate Students Association
State University of New York at Buffalo
Latino Cultural Studies, a scholarly journal, is currently
accepting articles, essays, and other forms of creative
critical writing. This new magazine will provide an
inaugural forum for re-thinking the social articulations
of both Latino culture within the United States and of Latin
American culture at large. We seek varying perspectives to
further the cultural debate with regard to the
historically-original and commanding presence of Latino and
Latin American culture in the United States which, in its
broadest understanding, is destined to establish cultural,
political and economic re-nego tiations within the
hemisphere.
Beyond binary oppositions, we seek articles that examine
the anxiety and ambivalence of representing personal,
cultural and historical narratives by avoiding
pre-constructed essences, modalities and effects. We also
seek critical responses in non-scholarly genres to historic
and cultural phenomenona ³high² and ³low,² particularly work
that claims meaning without yielding to facile accomodation.
We hope to attract submissions from the social sciences and
humanities that address the common concerns of late modern
migration and exile throughout the globe, but especially as
it affects this hemisphere in particular. Topics may include
but are not limited to:
‹new world (b)orders: the national, the transitional and the
transnational
‹creative strain between Latino and Latin American arts and
culture: incorporation or displacement?
‹spy vs. spy: comics, cartoons and pan-American politics
‹absorption, resistance and the problem of ³identity² and
³difference² in the face of official diver sity
‹culture contact: hybridity and/or creolization?
‹space invaders: Spanish and Portuguese-speaking communities
transform the Americas
‹English ventriloquism in Spanish and Portuguese
‹gender and genre: writing woman in literature and other
artistic media, including oral narrative, film, visual arts,
and music
‹visuality in the Americas: ³curated² versus ³curating²
cultures
‹surveillance society and US mass media on Latin America,
and vice versa
‹identity, ethnicity, performance, affiliation and culture
in flux
‹translation as means of concealment, disruption, and
disclosure
‹publishing policies affecting works in the original and in
translation
‹postmodern writerly practice in both Spanish, Portuguese
and English
‹new consumerism and arguable readership in the Americas
‹the black Atlantic, the cosmic race: hybridities and double
consciousness
‹oral traditions, virtual reality and the future of
ethnopoetics
‹technology and politics: the internet
‹vernacular art and trans-American popular culture
‹sexualities-in-flux and poetic-license-in-translation
‹Hispanisms and pomosexualities
‹new geographies: the politics and poetics of urban space
‹apocalyptic sublime: rural everyday life and the global
geo-political economy

and the future of urbanism along the bias of the hemisphere
