Abigail,
Here's a call for journal articles that I think might be of interest to
some of the people on the listserv. Please post it if you see
fit.
Thanks,

TEXT AND PERFORMANCE QUARTERLY
Special Issue
Religion as Performance
Frederick C. Corey and Thomas K. Nakayama, guest editors of Text and
Performance Quarterly, invite scholarship on the intersections of
religion, performance, and power. Of particular interest are manuscripts
that explore confounding borders of hegemony, politics, race, ethnicity,
(post)colonialism, sexuality, patriotism, theaters of war, and
nationalism. Topics may range from the everyday practice of religion to
missionaries, religious "stars," the ideology of "the
separation of church and state," religious conflict, religion and
capitalism/imperialism, ubiquitous enactments of fundamentalism or
Puritanism, and triptychs of religion/sex/politics. Manuscripts from a
wide range of perspectives, including rhetorical, feminist, ethnographic,
political, psychoanalytic, and aesthetic are welcome. The possibility of
photographs is open, subject to editorial review and budgetary
constraints.
All submissions should observe the following guidelines:
Manuscripts submitted for this special issue should not be under
consideration elsewhere. Because TPQ follows a policy of blind, peer
review, no material identifying the author(s) should appear anywhere
other than the title page. Double-space the entire manuscript, including
notes and block quotes. Include an abstract of not more than 150 words
and a list of 5 suggested keywords. Indicate the history of the
manuscript, noting whether it is part of a thesis or dissertation and, if
so, the director's name, and/or whether any portion of the essay has been
presented at a colloquy, conference, or convention. Manuscripts must
conform to the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, edited by
Joseph Gibaldi (6th edition).
Please email manuscripts (no hard copies please) in MS Word or
WordPerfect to [log in to unmask]

by March 8, 2004. We welcome inquiries to either Fred

Text and Performance Quarterly is a peer-reviewed journal of the National
