Deadline extended from Nov 1 to Dec 1, 2011.
From the original call: To the degree that it is a social construction, childhood, as an idea, carries with it any number of assumptions and associations. Conversely, as a objective developmental period, childhood is interpreted in wildly different way within different contexts. Postscript: A Journal of Graduate Criticism and Theory invites articles for consideration for our Spring 2012 issue, a special edition on the theme “Children in Theory”. This issue will examine childhood from a multitude of perspectives. We welcome submissions from any humanities discipline on any aspect of children and childhood.
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
- literature or art for children
- representations of children
- care and discipline of children
- the education or instruction of children
- violence toward children
- the perspectives of children themselves
- the displacement of children
- childhood and class
- childhood and gender
- childhood and race
Postscript: A Journal of Graduate Criticism and Theory is an interdisciplinary journal published biannually through the Department of English at Memorial University of Newfoundland. For more see a copy of the call at the CRYTC site.
