Submissions, Peer Review, Copyrights, Call for Papers:
1. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, preferably in Microsoft Word, and should conform to MLA Style Manual, 2nd edition (New York, MLA, 1998). Articles should normally be written in English, but in exceptional cases German-language texts will be considered. For articles written in English, quotations should appear in English in the main body of the text, and in the original language in notes wherever the author wishes to include original language formulations. Endnotes should be used, and a Works Cited list should be provided in a separate document. An English-language abstract of 500 words or less should accompany all submissions as a separate document. Authors’ names must not appear in the text or notes of the manuscript document submitted. Normally, articles should not exceed 10,000 words for the main body of the text. Prior to publication, authors must provide a brief bio.
2. Each article will be peer-reviewed by one anonymous reader not aware of the author’s identity, as well as the Editor. Once any necessary revisions are made, articles will be copy-edited by the Editorial staff, and authors will have the opportunity to review copy-editing decisions prior to final publication.
3. Copyrights remain with authors. Once an article has been accepted for publication, the author should print the Publishing Agreement, then sign and mail it to the Editor, who will sign and return it to the author.
4. Calls for Papers:
Volume 3: "Borderlines in Psychoanalysis, Borderlines of Psychoanalysis" – We wish to examine various aspects of the limit with respect to psychoanalysis. Relevant topics include: the borderline personality organization/disorder in psychoanalytic theory, theory-history, and practice; the limits of psychoanalytic theory and practice; the borderline status of psychoanalytic discourse in cultural and/or discourse-historical terms; implications of deconstructive work on the self-displacing character of borders for psychoanalysis; the Kristevan response to Lacan in terms of the category of the borderline. Deadline for submissions of essays: September 1, 2009. (Conference on this topic to be held at University of Oregon on April 30-May 2009. If you are interested in presenting a paper at this conference, please contact Editor with abstract of 250 words by February 1, 2009.)
Volume 4: "Up Against the Wall" – In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the coming-down of the Berlin Wall on Nov. 9, 1989, an event haunted in turn by the memory of the horrors of Kristallnacht, we take up here the more historical topic of the political, economic, and cultural-identity implications of actual walls of separation between nations and political systems or entities, including the Berlin Wall, the US-Mexico border fence, the separation fence in Israel-Palestine, the wall in Cyprus, the India-Pakistan partition, and other related concrete divisions. We invite analyses from multiple perspectives and disciplines. Deadline for submissions of essays: December 31, 2009. (We will hold a conference on this topic at the University of Oregon in Fall-Winter 2009-2010. Abstracts of 250 words due, for presentations at this conference, by July 1, 2009.)
