CALL FOR PAPERS – “THE FUTURE OF THE PAST”
Rethinking History: The Journal of Theory and Practice (Routledge)seeks papers or proposals for several issues devoted to the topic 'The Future of the Past'. The editors will not provide examples of possible topics or themes -- it is, after all, the visions and imaginaries of historians in the broadest sense of the word (including academics, filmmakers, novelists, biographers, graphic artists, museum directors, etc) who will create the past in the future. What we wish to encourage is creative, experimental, innovative and unconventional pieces that think, rethink, theorize, and also practice possible future histories.

Based on the excellent response to our earlier cfp deadline (end of September 2003) for submitting proposals we wish to extend this second call to January 31st, 2004; the deadline for submitting completed manuscripts is June 30, 2004. The theme will now be addressed over several issues and this will be published during 2004-05. Proposals may be submitted electronically (by e-mail attachment) to either address. Completed submissions should be sent in three hard copies and on pc disk to either editor who are always happy to discuss your ideas even before the proposal stage. For further information contact the editors.
