CALL FOR PAPERS
 
Animation Journal is the only peer-reviewed scholarly journal devoted to
animation history and theory.  Its content reflects the diversity of
animation's production techniques and national origins.  Animation Journal is
published twice a year, and its sixth issue is currently in production.
 
Recent issues have included:
 
SPRING 1994 (Vol. 2:2) Special Issue--Women in Animation: "'What's So Funny
About Cheese?' and Other Dilemmas: The Nickelodeon Television Network and Its
(Female) Producers," by Maureen Furniss; "Creating a Healing Mythology: The
Art of Faith Hubley," by Joanna Priestley; "Subverting Time: A Woman's
Perspective," by Mary Beams; "Sylvia Holland: Disney Artist," by Robin Allan;
"La Verne Harding: Hollywood's First Woman Animator," by Atom Klein;
"Bibliography of Sources on Animation Published in 1992," by Susan Ohmer.
 
FALL 1994 (Vol. 3:1): "Vladimir Tytla--Master Animator," by John Canemaker; "M
asculinity in Eastern European Animation," by Amy Lawrence; "Toward a
Postmodern Animated Discourse: Bakhtin, Intertextuality and the Cartoon
Carnival," by Terry Lindvall and Matthew Melton; "The Illusion of 'Identity':
Gender and Racial Representation in Aladdin," by Sean Griffin; and
"Expressive Technology: The Tool as Metaphor of Aesthetic Sensibility," by
Leslie Bishko.
 
Deadlines for Animation Journal submissions are the same each year: January
15 for the fall issue and July 1 for the spring issue.  Manuscripts should be
double spaced, following the Chicago style manual.  Papers are blind
refereed, so the author's name should not appear on the body of the
manuscript but only on an attached cover sheet.  Papers will not be returned
unless postage is provided.  Send TWO copies or one hard (paper) copy and a
copy on computer disk (preferably, Macintosh-compatible and in a Microsoft
Word file).
 
Because the Editor receives many papers that deal with American classical
animated features (more specifically, Disney features), she encourages work
in other areas.  Experimental approaches are welcome, and if an author finds
it useful to offer readers examples on video cassette or computer disk, such
arrangements will be considered.
 
Editorials, reviews, discussions of works-in-progress and other non-refereed
submissions are also welcome.  Of particular interest are graphic essays
(drawn panels with commentary), as well as primary documents of historical
significance that could be published with an introduction.  The Editor is
happy to respond to proposals and general queries, as well as writing at any
stage of completion.  For more information, call or fax 714-544-6255, or
write to the Editor, Dr. Maureen Furniss, at AJ Press, 2011 Kingsboro Circle,
Tustin, CA 92680-6733.  Her e-mail address is [log in to unmask]
