Please note that the deadline for the following CFP has been extended to
September 20th.
Currents in Electronic Literacy (ISSN 1524-6493) is now accepting
submissions for a special issue--"Whose Web Is It Anyway?"--to be published
in the fall of 2002. Completed articles for this issue are due August 15,
2002.
The surge in the use of technology and the Internet in education and more
generally in society has had an enormous impact on those who learn and
those who teach in a wired culture. The changes in technology over the
past decade have left an enduring footprint that has altered the landscape
of education and other cultural forms. This transformation raises
important questions related to Currents' interest in the intersections of
technology with literary and cultural studies, writing, teaching, and
literacy. Among these questions are the following:
How has the proliferation of new multi-media forms affected interaction
among people, including the dialogue in the classroom?
What changes in education will be required in order to bridge the
"high-tech generation gap"--the cultural differences between those who grew
up "high-tech" (more and more students) and those who are learning as they
go (most academics)?
How does the Internet limit or offer new possibilities for different groups
of people, including those with low incomes, those with disabilities, and
others?
How has the Internet and the increase in collaborative Web publishing
affected authorship and ownership and our conception of these ideas, and
what challenges does the Internet raise for academic publications?
What role does technology play in cultural memory and cultural literacy?
Currents is seeking articles on all aspects of these intersections among
technology, literacy, education, and culture. We also welcome articles
that address literary, critical, theoretical, aesthetic, and teaching
issues, as well as authorship, ownership, programming, and visual literacy.
While our focus for the Fall 2002 issue will be these issues, we also
welcome submissions on any aspect of electronic literacy for this issue.

Writing and Research Lab of the Division of Rhetoric and Composition at The
