CFP: Children’s and Teen Culture (Journal of American Culture)

Special Issue: Children’s and Teen Culture (Journal of American Culture)
Deadline: January 15, 2005

The Journal of American Culture is publishing an issue devoted entirely to the popular culture surrounding the world of childhood and young adults or adolescents. Articles are encouraged from all disciplines and dealing with all topics that fall under this broad-based definition of youth in popular culture.

Interdisciplinary approaches in theory and method are welcome, the idea being to make connections among the various theories and aspects of culture, and to offer a final product that demonstrates the multiplicity of possible perspectives rather than a particular focus.

Keep in mind that these submissions, 15-25 pages in length, need to be thoroughly researched and documented scholarly approaches to the subjects, formatted according to MLA style guidelines, with in-text citations of the author’s name and page number. With this in mind, please do not overload your submission with endnotes.

Submit three copies of the manuscript and a self-addressed envelope to: Dr. Harry Eiss, English Dept., Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, MI 48197. For informal exchanges, please send emails to harryeiss@chartermi.net.
