Subject: CFP: Studies in American Culture (4/1/06; journal issue)


Studies in American Culture welcomes the submission of essays on all aspects
of American culture and from all scholarly and critical approaches. We
especially invite interdisciplinary studies of the literature, language,
visual arts, and history of the United States.*

Our diverse readership includes academics and non-academics who come from a
variety of disciplines and backgrounds.  We prefer fresh, innovative essays
that are informed by research and current critical theories but which avoid
alienating jargon.

=20

Studies in American Culture is an annual publication of the Popular Culture
Association in the South and American Culture Association in the South,
which meet jointly in a conference each fall.  Authors of accepted
manuscripts must join PCAS/ACAS (www.pcasacas.org).  Membership includes a
year's subscription to both SiAC and our other publication, Studies in
Popular Culture.

To facilitate the blind peer-review process, submit your essay
electronically (in a Microsoft Word file only) to the editor, making sure
not to identify yourself anywhere in the text.  We prefer submissions not
exceeding 6000 words, double-spaced in Times Roman 12-point font.
Formatting according to the MLA Style Manual (1998) is required.  Content
notes should be kept to a minimum.  Black and white illustrations may
accompany the text.  Authors should secure all necessary copyright
permissions before submitting essays requiring such permissions. Queries are
encouraged.

To be included in the final round of reviews for the October 2006 issue
(29.2), submissions must be received by April 1, 2006.
