publication activities + policies

1. Feature Articles: 1000-1500 word articles, including review articles, published 3-4 times annually.  These will be linked to an image on the home page (for e.g., our first article is linked to a Coca-Cola sculpture), and also by accessing “Feature Articles” on the home page.  Feature ideas should be sent by e-mail to the Features Editor, Todd Dufresne.  

Style Guide:
Authors should adopt social science referencing style, and adhere to length recommendations.  Citations are all in-text, for example: In an interview in ‘The Politics of Truth’, Michel Foucault (2007) states that “Kant feels perfectly connected to this present that he calls Aufkläruung and that he attempts to define” (79). Endnotes and footnotes should be kept to an absolute minimum.  

References should appear at the end, as such:

Foucault, Michel (2007).  ‘The Politics of Truth’, ed. Sylvère Lotringer, trans. Lysa Hochroth and Catherine Porter, New York: Semiotext(e).

All work is subject to editorial and peer review.  The Publication Committee and (where appropriate) the External Editorial Board, reserves the right to withdraw any request to publish material that does not meet a minimum standard; and reserves the right to amend content to preserve said minimum standard.  In most situations, however, author and editors will negotiate final versions.  

Internal Editors:
Douglas Ivison (English), Chair of Publications Committee
Todd Dufresne (Philosophy), Features Editor
Chris Southcott (Sociology), Member of Publications Committee

2. Institute Journal, “Agency”: The first issue of “Agency” is slated to appear in 2010.  More details about our theme issue will be forthcoming Summer/Fall 2009.  This journal will establish an external roster of editors and advisors.

'AGENCY' CALLS FOR PAPERS:

Agency CFP: Immigration and Visual Culture (journal: 5/1)

Agency CFP: Obama, Race, and Empire (journal: 5/1)

3. Online Books of the aig+c: Our intention is to publish books that, one, constitute a contribution to the literature on “globalization + culture”; two, reflect our Senate-approved mandate; three, are suited for online consumption; and four, may be difficult to publish with existing publishers.  In this last respect, we are open to considering for publication conference proceedings and edited collections that are increasingly difficult to publish traditionally, and yet still meet high standards of quality and constitute an obvious contribution to knowledge. To pitch a book project, contact the Chair of the Publications Committee, Douglas Ivison.  

4. Art Projects: The aig+c will host relevant art projects on its site.  The idea is for a curator to peer assess contributions, usually around a given theme, and which should be accompanied by short statements by the artist.  Themes and curators are forthcoming.  Anyone interested in participating should contact the Chair of the Publications Committee, Douglas Ivison.
