FEMSPEC , an interdisciplinary feminist journal dedicated to critical
and creative works in the realms of science fiction, fantasy, magical
realism, surrealism, myth, folklore and other supernatural genres, is
now accepting submissions for a special International Women's Horror
issue. Essays are invited on all forms of women's horror-texts,
films, TV and other forms, from a variety of international contexts.
Essays can concentrate on establishing ways in which women have been
figured in horror ad the kinds of cultural practices and beliefs
which this springs from. They should also concentrate on examples of
women's writing against stereotypical horror representations of
women, how contemporary women writers re-configure the vampire,
werewolf, mummy, witch and Medusa figues, among others. What kinds of
social sexual and cultural messages are being sent in some of the
lively contemporary women's vampire writing? in popular fiction? in
comics? in TV episodes like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Xena, The X
Files, etc.? Essays will be refereed supportively and then authors
will be invited if necessary to resubmit after alterations. Enquiries
and outlines mailto:G.Wi...@Anglia.ac.uk Copy will be needed
November 2000.
Please send an additional hard copy to FEMSPEC office marked "Horror issue."
