Call for papers: Receptions (11/01/2007: journal issue) The editors of Reception: Texts, Readers, Audiences, History, which is the journal of the Reception Study Society, invites submissions for its inaugural issue, which will appear in the spring 2008. This journal seeks to promote dialog and discussion among scholars in several related fields: reader-response criticism and pedagogy, reception study, history of reading and the book, audience and communication studies, and institutional studies and histories, as well as interpretive strategies related to feminism, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and postcolonial studies. The journal will publish theoretical and practical analyses in these fields, focusing mainly but not exclusively on the literature, culture, and media of England and the United States. The journal will be refereed and will appear once each year both on line and in paper. Essays submitted for publication will be evaluated by at least two members of the editorial board. Contributors can expect a response in a timely fashion. The deadline for proposed papers is November 1, 2007.
