QUEEN (www.ars-rhetorica.net <http://www.ars-rhetorica.net> ) invites
submissions to its second issue: "Power and Re-colonization"
Re-colonization finds its richest meanings triangulated with ideas of
colonization and postcolonization, but it implies a reinscription of
power,either overt or naturalized, and has particular economic-capitalist
origins and effects.
The newness of this term invites theorization and generative
reflection; in fact, successful submissions will theorize the idea of
"re-colonization," offering suggestions as to the use and parameters of the
idea.
Areas might include cultural assimilation and domination through mass media,
re-organized racism, "market"-capitalist rhetorics and ethics, WTO, China,
colonization of the body and identity, 'virtual' colonization of internet
space, effects of recolonization upon indigenous populations, pharmaceutical
companies and the Western responses to AIDS epidemic as re-colonization, the
contribution of "post-"colonial and "post-"modern studies to recolonization,
etc.
Other areas of exploration might include reactions to recolonization: the
rise of nationalisms, the related exponential growth of religious
fundamentalisms, the reshaping of the contours of the body as the last
domain of free expression (radical piercings, tattoo-ing, S&M), etc.
Queen is dedicated to the intersection of discourses in the humanities,
arts, and religion. We encourage submissions that draw from varieties of
critical approaches, e.g., visual culture methods and theories, literary
criticism, intersectional analyses of class, gender, race and sexuality,
queer theory, post-colonial studies, post-structuralist philosophy,
post-modern analyses of capitalism, cultural anthropology, cultural studies,
economics, bioethics and science studies. All submissions should acknowledge
a multidisciplinary and critical audience.
Because Queen is an online journal, we are especially interested in
proposals that will take advantage of multimedia and hypertext formats. We
accept standard academically formatted essays, but we also encourage all
other communication modes and genres, especially poetry and poetic cycles,
and photographic essays.
Submissions should be made by 31 October 2001 and sent to
Queen@ars-rhetorica.net <mailto:Queen@ars-rhetorica.net> . Submissions
(electronic only) should include:
1) a brief abstract of the proposed submission;
2) relevant professional/personal information;
3) means by which to contact you;
4) if possible, include the full work, and send it in RTF format
5) photographs should be sent as JPEGs, or, preferably, as links to a
portfolio site;
6) photographic submissions should also include a brief abstract of the
artwork, essay, video, etc.
If accepted, you will be asked to submit a photo of yourself and a
brief blurb about yourself. See our website and journal for examples.

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.
