Title: Shakespeare in the Media: Old and New
Editors: Anna Maria Cimitile (amcimitile at unior.it) and Katherine Rowe (krowe at brynmawr.edu)
Description: We especially welcome articles on less known, more radical or experimental Shakespearean re-visions in the fields of cinema, new media and the visual arts. Issues for analysis might include: The old and the new, fixed categories? Is cinema, whose essence was montage for Eisenstein, image-time and image-movement for Deleuze, a new or old medium? / From painting to stage photography and the fragments of footage material from the plays’ mises en scène, what is the cultural politics of representing representations of Shakespeare? / The long history of media convergence and intermedial effects: plays within the film, videos within the play, etc. / Between ‘deep attention’ and ‘hyperattention’, how do the transformative possibilities of new media affect the way we process Shakespearean texts? / Shakespeare, new media and philosophy. New media and new subjectivities. Intercultural Shakespeare in new media. Shakespeare and diagrammatic knowledge. GIS, mapping and topological Shakespeare.
Deadline: 30 June 2010.

Title: “Voicings: Music Across Borders”/"Music and the Performance of Identity"
Editors: Marina Vitale and Serena Guarracino
Description: The next two issues of Anglistica intend to provide an overview of the intersections between musical and cultural studies in Italy and abroad. They also wish to propose ways in which music itself may be used as an instrument to rethink Western modernity at large, both from a gender and a postcolonial point of ‘hearing’ (if not of ‘view’). They will collect both theoretical and ‘case study’ essays on various kinds of musical productions (from classical to pop and ‘world’ music), on the common ground of cultural studies and especially of the insights offered by cultural musicology.
Due online: January 2010/March 2010
Title: "Violence in Paradise: the Caribbean"
Editors: Irline François (ifrancoi at goucher.edu), Marie Hèlène Laforest (m.laforest at alice.it)
Description: “A Theatre of Violence Behind a Curtain of Paradise” is the title of an essay by Michelle Cliff which will appear in this issue. Paradise reconfigured as a site of abuse and violence refers to the Caribbean. Contributions should aim at exploring the way violence lingers in the memory of Caribbean women, the innovative ways they have found to tell their stories, and how their narrations help re-create a sense of self.
