Dear Friends and Colleagues, ***** CALL FOR PAPERS SOCIAL TEXT The Social Text Collective is pleased to accept papers for a forthcoming special dossier on the work of Edward Said. Deadline: September 30, 2004 The editors of Social Text invite contributors to pay tribute to Edward Said, an admired colleague and friend. In its first issue Social Text published Edward Said’s essay, “Zionism from the Standpoint of Its Victims” (1979), a chapter in the then forthcoming book, The Question of Palestine, and, almost a decade later, the journal dedicated a special issue to “Colonial Discourse,” featuring an interview with Said, along with essays dialoguing with his work. As a way of remembering Edward Said, Social Text announces a special issue edited by Gyan Prakash and Ella Shohat. This issue hopes to reflect on themes central to Said’s work, highlighting his interventions in the politics of knowledge, and his impact on a number of fields. In the spirit of Said’s writings, we invite contributions that cross geographical and disciplinary boundaries, while also reflecting on his life and work in relation to the major transformations, shifts and contradictions in our intellectual and political landscape. Papers should be submitted by e-mail if possible, as an attachment saved in Microsoft Word. The text should be double-spaced, no more than 8,000 words, with numbered endnotes. For style, please follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition. The author’s name, affiliation, address and telephone number should be listed on the front page of each copy.
