CALL FOR PAPERS FOR A "STAR TREK" ANTHOLOGY "Enterprise Zones: Liminal Positions on `Star Trek'" Eds: Elyce Helford (Middle Tennessee State University) Kent Ono (University of California-Davis) Taylor Harrison (University of Iowa) Sarah Projansky (University of California-Davis) We are interested in a variety of critical approaches to any or all of the Star Trek texts. Both textual and audience analysis is welcome. Our purpose is to address critically the representational nature of "Star Trek." We want to problematize the emblematic status of "Star Trek" through a collection of essays that question the social, political, and cultural implications of representation, television, and more specifically "Star Trek," from diverse orientations. We are interested in essays that scrutinize, for example, the discourses of colonialism, the ideology of technotopia, multiply constructed racial and gendered identities, incipient technological subjectivities, paramilitary thematization, and homologies between government structures and narrative form. With this collection, we hope to position "Star Trek" as a complex social phenomenon by focusing our attentions not simply on the textuality of "Star Trek," but on its function and effectivity as social instrument. "Enterprise Zones: Liminal Positions on `Star Trek'" will engage both textual and social signification as central to the hermeneutic task of criticism. By June 15 1994, please send 4 copies of your paper and an abstract to: Sarah Projansky 4735 Cowell Blvd., 32 Davis, CA 95616 (916) 757-1026 [log in to unmask]
