CALL FOR PAPERS: American Periodicals
The editors of American Periodicals invite contributions on all issues related to periodical studies, including theoretical interventions in the field, studies of specific publications or historical figures, and pedagogical approaches to working with periodicals. We are eager for essays addressing everything from the earliest colonial newspapers and nineteenth-century literary magazines to contemporary periodicals, 'zines, and electronic serials. In 2005 we will be publishing a special guest-edited issue on the Modernist Little Magazine, and we are also beginning work on a special issue for 2006-07 on comics and cartoons. Recent topics addressed in American Periodicals include Norwegian-American Christmas Annuals, the erotics of Oriental tales in the early republican magazine, and the intersections between surrealism and the fashion magazine.
