Call For Papers:
Steaming into a Victorian Future: A Steampunk Anthology
We are seeking contributors for a collection of critical essays on Steampunk. Steampunk remains an elusive topic even among its admirers and practitioners, but at its heart, it re-imagines the Victorian age in the future, and re-works its technology, fashion, and values with a dose of anti-modernism. From sci-fi and fantasy to websites catering to a Steampunk lifestyle, this multi-faceted genre demands greater scholarly analysis.
The editors of this anthology seek contributions in the following suggested subject areas: Steampunk film, technology, fashion, literature, art & design, gender and steampunk, steampunk fan culture, steampunk as culture and lifestyle, and critiques of existing analyses of steampunk.
Submission Guidelines: Send a 1000 word abstract in Microsoft Word by email attachment on or before August 15, 2011; include a brief biography or vita. International submissions are welcomed and encouraged.
Abstracts chosen for inclusion in the anthology will be considered “conditional acceptances” – the editors will secure the submission in the volume, but the editors reserve the right to reject any full essay that does not meet the standards (of style/content, etc) agreed to between the editors and authors. Endnotes are mandatory; illustrations are encouraged and must be secured (along with permissions) by the author and submitted with the final draft.

Does seem a bit long for an abstract, now that you mention it! The anti-modernity makes sense to me if you think about the difference between the uniformity, clean lines, and unobtrusive tech of Modernism -- an Apple computer vs. its steampunk mod re-incarnation.

I'm thinking about it as well, but I haven't settled on exactly what I'll be
submitting. Possibly a further development of my argument about steampunk as
an ecological environment. What are you thinking about doing, Jha?
