Call for Papers for future volumes.
n.paradoxa publishes the work of women writers, curators, artists and critics
of contemporary art (post-1970) who write about the work of contemporary
women artists and its relationship to feminist theory: located anywhere in
the world. n.paradoxa is bi-annual and published in English.
Please write to the editor: k.deepwellukonline.co.uk with a one-page
proposal and information about yourself as author.

Volume 24 (July 2009) of n.paradoxa is on the theme of Material Histories.
The theme of this journal calls for any papers from women writers, artists or
curators working on theories/histories of materials, historical materialism,
alternative histories or marginal histories of feminist art practices. After
40 years, feminist art practices have a wide range of legacies and histories
in different parts of the world and this volume - with international
contributors - will reflect new approaches to histories of contemporary art.
Dialectical and reflective approaches are welcome as are readings of the
material/dematerialised/immaterial=virtual art objects produced by women
artists.
Deadline for copy is May 15, 2009.

Volume 25 (Jan 2010) of n.paradoxa is on the theme of Pleasure.
Have feminist art practices proposed new models of pleasure? Do they
challenge ideas about women's pleasures or reinforce them? While women
artists have challenged the assumptions embedded within the male gaze, have
they shifted the object position for women in representation as
something-to-be-looked-at? Is there a focus on the different kinds of visual,
aural, sensual, or tactile pleasures in women's contemporary art work
produced in the last 40 years? Articles on the subject of pleasure or
pleasures - visual, aural, sensual, physical or in terms of other forms of
pleasure/pain producing sensations - are welcome.
