> CALL FOR ABSTRACTS FOR EDITED COLLECTION: Imprints of Revolution: Global
> Resistance, the Popular, and (Post)/(Neo) Colonialism
> Scope:

> Imprints of Revolution: Global Resistance, the Popular, and (Post)/(Neo)
> Colonialism is an edited collection that explores public representations of
> socialist revolutions.  The edited collection assesses how the concept of
> revolution is appropriated through public images and explores its
> re-conceptualization as a mobilizing practice in response to contemporary
> global issues.  The goal of the collection is to explore how revolutions are
> imagined and re-imagined by governments, residents, and political actors, and
> how in turn these imageries function as responses to the specific issues of
> globalization and mass tourism.  We would like to discuss the local, urban
> experiences of revolutions both trans-nationally and trans-culturally.
> Contributors are encouraged to explore any aspect of revolutionary experiences
> but should develop the political and historical links between their topics and
> the revolutionary movement in question.

> We are especially interested in, but are not limited to, scholarship that
> focuses on the visual legacies within Cuba, China, Ghana, Mexico, the United
> States, and Vietnam.  We anticipate this to be a multidisciplinary work and
> invite submissions from emerging and established scholars working within any
> field.  Scholars in anthropology, cultural studies, history, literature,
> political studies, communication studies, American studies, ethnic and/or race
> studies, media studies and gender studies are especially encouraged to submit
> proposals.
> Contributors:

> If interested, please submit a 500-word abstract of the proposed chapter, as
> well as sources consulted / cited and a brief biography of 200 words of less
> detailing professional and academic qualifications by October 15, 2012.  All
> materials should be submitted electronically by April 15, 2013.  Essays will
> be subject to a peer-review process.
