    CFP - Sex and Power: Subjection and Subjectivation
    "QUEEN: a journal of rhetoric and power", a new e-journal sponsored by the
    Centre for Rhetorics and Hermeneutics, invites daring, innovating, and
    radical essays, ruminations, poetic reflections, photographic essays on sex
    and power for its inaugural issue.
    Any related topics will be considered, from all fields: Religious studies,
    literature, pop culture, queer theory, medicine and medical ethics, history,
    cultural anthropology, rhetorical studies. Possible topics may include: sex
    and fashion; the eroticization of victimage; rhetoric and "Sex and the
    City"; sex/syntax; historiciz-ed, -ing approaches to sexuality and gender;
    the gender(ed) rhetoric of the divine; money, sex, and the new economy; the
    grammar of gender; the legal and medical formation of sex; erotic religious
    literature of the West and the East; mysticism and the erotic; the role of
    religious ideology in the formation of the modern or ancient gendered
    subject; ambiguous sex: the intersexed and identity; fertility religions and
    the eroticization of the divine (modern and ancient).
    QUEEN seeks to rejuvenate rhetoric studies, gender studies,
    culture-historical studies, and religious studies by experimenting with
    cross-inter-sections of these disciplines. QUEEN seeks to explore the ways
    in which power shapes people and people shape power.

    Submissions may be in the form of prose essay, poem, photography, QT video,

    make full use of internet technology and the transformation of communication
    it engenders.
