A Special Issue of Women & Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory
Edited by: Stacy Horn and Theresa Senft
We are seeking contributions to Vol. 9 #1 (Issue 17) of our publication Women & Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory, entitled "Sexuality and Cyberspace". In this issue, we will deploy creative uses of feminist and performance theories, in order to explore the world of the internet and on-line computerized communications.
At this time, we are soliciting scholarly articles, art work and experimental pieces of writing that concern sexuality and cyberspace. Specific topics you might want to address in your work include:
-- citizenship, nationalism, minority space, and cyberspace
--questions of the "real body" with regard to writing versus 'speech' , in electronic communications
--questions of the relationship between "rights", universal access, and bourgeois privilege in cyberspace.
--writing and the performance of gender in cyberspace
--pornography and new media; new media as pornography
The editors for this issue are Stacy Horn, an NYU Interactive Telecommunications Program Faculty member and Owner of Echo Communications, a New York City based on-line service known for its industry-high 45% female subscription base, and Theresa Senft, a co-host of Echo's Queer Issues Conference, and Women & Performance Staff member.
Additionally, as part of our community outreach effort, Women & Performance plans to produce a "Feminist Yellow Pages of Cyberspace." If you have resources you would like listed in the Yellow Pages, or you know of feminist resources that have been overlooked and under-reported by the mainstream journalism devoted to New Media, please forward that information to the address below:
