Call for papers
Due date for receipt of papers is 31st December 2005.
In this special issue of Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies, guest
editors Victoria Haskins and Margaret Jacobs consider 'the home' as
both site and archive of colonization. In domestic and intimate
borderlands - the worlds of the everyday and indeed the mundane that so often are
overlooked in the highly charged and male-oriented debates in the
histories of colonization - we look for the myriad ways in which
women are interested in the private and personal experiences of
colonialization and the ways in which the broader colonial processes
of subjugation, accommodation and resistance intersect and are
encapsulated in the 'peculiar intimacy' (as Sara Suleri calls it) of domestic
lives.
As Frontiers is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary journal,
we welcome submissions of creative works such as artwork, fiction and
poetry, as well as scholarly papers, addressing women's domestic
lives in colonization. Works must be original, and not published or under
consideration for publication elsewhere. We encourage those
interested in contributing to contact either or both of the guest editors at
their email address.
Submissions are to be sent to the Frontiers editorial collective as
email attachments, <frontiers@asu.edu> or <segray@asu.edu>, along
with three hard copies, addressed to Editors, Frontiers: A Journal of
