CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - Volume 32.2 Digital Feminisms: Gender and New Technologies
The complexity of new technologies has altered the way we think about
time, space and ourselves in the digital age. Whether it is business,
media, entertainment, advocacy, art, education, social action,
politics, paid and unpaid work, or a myriad of other sites of
contention, the ability of new technology to converge with and
transform past, present and future ways of interacting with the world
in which we live has immense and wide-ranging implications.
Given this context, we are seeking contributions to a special issue
of Atlantis focused on Gender and New Technologies. We invite
submissions that contribute to an inquiry on how new technologies
have informed gender’s self expression and histories; affected
gender, race and culture; influenced the representation of gender;
and changed the way in which gender issues are viewed or pursued. In
pursuit of a diverse and wide-ranging debate, the issue seeks
contributions from a broad range of areas, including Women’s Studies,
Gender Studies, New Media, Cultural, Film and Communications Studies,
History, Visual Arts, Computer Science and any other area relevant to
the discussion. Given the complexities of new technologies, we wish
to encourage submissions that think across geographical divides,
histories and media, including (but not limited to) the Internet,
digital arts, locative media, WiFi, aesthetic and narrative analysis,
film, video, television, educational software/delivery, medical
technologies, and visual and digital art.
Interdisciplinary approaches combining target areas are also welcomed. Possible topics for this issue include, but are not limited to: * New technologies, gender and self * Gender and digital art * New technologies, gender and race * Gender and convergent technologies * New technologies, gender and media * Gender and the digital body * New technologies, gender and history * Gender and digital networking * New technologies, gender and environmentalism * Gender and discourses in computer science * New technologies, gender and social action * Gender and digital identities * Gender and issues of access to new technologies
All contributions should be accessible to an audience from many
different backgrounds interested in participating in the creation and
sharing of feminist knowledge. Atlantis articles are peer reviewed.
They contribute to a publication that strives to meet the most
significant academic and feminist expectations of our colleagues.
Articles submitted for consideration must be no longer than 6000
words (including notes, references, appendices, etc.) and must be
typed double-spaced. Please send submissions, in sextuplicate,
addressed to Cecily Barrie at the Atlantis address below.
Information regarding the contributors’ guidelines may be found at
the web site (www.msvu.ca/atlantis), or by contacting the Atlantis
office.
Please note: When an article is accepted for publication in Atlantis,
we ask that the contributor subscribe to the journal for one year.
Like many other journals, our fiscal base is vulnerable. Subscribers
to Atlantis create the possibility for the dissemination of feminist
knowledge in the form of peer reviewed articles, community voices,
curriculum reflections and book reviews. As contributors of peer
reviewed articles, their subscriptions will assist in keeping the
journal in print and available to the larger community of feminist
thinkers and doers. In exchange, they will receive both the spring
and fall editions plus an extra copy of the edition carrying their
article.
