CFP UPDATE
==========
New deadline: December 1, 2000
_Henry Street: a Graduate Review of Literary Studies_ is planning a
special double issue for volume 9 to synchronize our issue date with the
real date. We invite submissions from graduate students on any aspect of
literature or literary theory, and continue to seek articles for the
special focus on "Technology" which will be a part of this double issue.
"Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent
they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use
those languages, or we remain mute"
- ÖJ.G. Ballard.
_Henry Street_ invites essays exploring the three-way intersection of
language, literature and technology. Potential topics could include, but
as always are not limited to: Laputa then and now; narrative as
technology; speed, from horse-culture to particle accelerators;
the printing press, hypertext, and other transformations of
reading and/as writing; the televisual and life beyond the screen;
dreams and dreads of the bio-technological interface from the Trojan
Horse to Mary Shelley to Donna Harraway and beyond.
HENRY STREET
_Henry Street_, now entering its ninth year of publication, is an inter-
national forum for graduate students of English and related disciplines.
We invite submission of original and scholarly contributions to current
research on literatures in English from all historical periods, material
culture, pedagogy, and critical theory. In addition to welcoming papers
from a broad range of critical perspectives, the journal is particularly
receptive to unconventional or personal approaches that open new avenues
of investigation in literary and cultural criticism.
Graduate students and recent graduates are encouraged to submit critical
and occasional essays, short fiction, and poetry. Chapters of theses and
conference papers are acceptable, provided they are sufficiently edited
and rigorous enough to stand alone as critical articles.
_Henry Street_ is indexed by the MLA and the Canadian Periodicals Index.
NEGOTIATIONS
We especially invite submissions for our regular "Negotiations" feature.
In this section of the journal we present a graduate student essay
foregrounding or critiquing the ideas of a well-established scholar and
that scholar's reply. "Negotiations" is intended to be a stimulating
meeting point for the ideas of graduate students and senior members of
the profession. Should we be unable to obtain a response from
your chosen interlocutor, your essay will proceed to publication as a
regular article. Past exchanges have included student Andrew Lesk and
Professor Robert Lecker on canonicity and the university, and student
Cheryl Cowdy Crawford and author Douglas Glover on Deleuze and
Guattari and Glover's novel _The Life and Times of Captain N_.
SUBMISSIONS
To be considered for publication, submissions must be double-spaced
throughout (including endnotes and works cited) and follow MLA guidelines
for citation and presentation. Submissions should not exceed 7000 words in
length. To facilitate our process of anonymous review, the author's name
should not appear on the manuscript.
Send two copies of submissions, and include a self-addressed return
envelope accompanied either by Canadian stamps or international reply
coupons. Manuscripts submitted without SASE cannot be returned. The
cover letter must indicate the author's degree status and university
affiliation.
