[NIS_GS:] CFP: Camera Obscura "Archive for the Future": Feminism, Culture, and Media Studies (rolling deadline 10/15/04-1/31/06; journal)

A Camera Obscura ⌠Archive for the Future
The editors of Camera Obscura: Feminism, Culture, and Media Studies invite the journal's readers to contribute statements of 500-1000 words that consider, contemplate, entertain, and/or imagine the future of feminism, culture, and media studies.
Selected contributions will be published in a special issue to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the journal. What lines of inquiry and approaches to these terms and to this nexus do you find most engaging?
What lines do you expect to find most productive in the future? How do you see the conjuncture of ⌠feminism, culture, and media studies■ as intersecting with other discourses, disciplines, and practices? How does your sense of the future of this conjuncture reflect your understanding of its history?
How would you characterize the changes in feminist culture and media studies, and how do you see those changes as related (or removed from) the changes within the media and cultural practices themselves? What theories, methodologies, objects, texts, and/or practices would you want to revive or re-energize at this point? What would you want to eulogize or mourn? In sum, what would you submit to a Camera Obscura ⌠archive for the future,■ and why?

Please send three copies of your statement, including complete contact information, to:
Camera Obscura
Department of Film Studies University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106-4010.

Selected submissions will appear in consecutive issues of the journal, beginning with Camera Obscura 61, a special issue marking the thirtieth anniversary of the journal.
