Subject: CFP: New Address for the Biography & Geography Special Issue and
Prize (9/1/01)
The Center for Biographical Research, University of Hawai'i at Manoa, and
_Biography: An Interdisciplinary Quarterly_ have a new mailing address:
1800 East West Road, Henke Hall 325; University of Hawai'i at Manoa;
Honolulu, Hawai'i 96822 USA. Please send submissions for the _Biography_
Special Issue and Life Writing Prize to this address. (Those who have sent
submissions to the previously listed address do not need to send another
entry.)
The winter 2002 issue of _Biography_ will explore Biography and Geography.
Issue editor Miriam Fuchs invites papers that address the topic with the
widest possible latitude, opening the subject to various applications,
interpretations, and interdisciplinary theorizing. Submissions may for
instance focus on life writing in a specific region or at a specific site.
They may explore ways that geography as the study of the earth's surfaces
and divisions is relevant to forms of life writing. Or they can explore
landscapes and topographies as metaphorical constructs pertinent to life
writing issues and modalities.
Submissions may investigate the theoretical, historical, generic, or
cultural dimensions of any form of life writing--biography, autobiography,
oral history, group history, diaries, travel writing, and so on--and may
arise from any discipline (or disciplines) in the humanities, natural
sciences, arts, social sciences, or professional schools. Authors do not
need a current academic affiliation.
$1,000 AWARD. One submission will be selected as the recipient of the
International Life Writing Prize for 2001. In addition to publication in
the Special Issue, the winning author will receive $1,000.
Submissions should be double spaced and ideally between 3,000 and 10,000
words. A double-blind submission policy will be followed: authors' names
should not appear anywhere on the manuscript. An accompanying cover letter
should contain the authors' names and addresses.
All entries will be considered for both the Prize and for publication.
DEADLINE for receipt of entries: September 1, 2001.
