Call for papers: Papers are invited for publication in a collected volume entitled The Other City: Emergent Urban Cultures. Ed. Steven Totosy de Zepetnek, Tutun Mukherjee, Christopher Larkosh, Agata Anna Lisiak, and Asuncón Lopez-Varela Azcaráte. The volume is considered to be published pending peer review once the ms is complete by Cambridge University Press India. Contributors to the volume examine urban cultures in a global context but beyond the conventionally limited and so-called A-list of global cities. How do other cities represent many of the same trends that scholars have identified as characteristic of the self-proclaimed first tier of the world's national, political, economic, and cultural capitals? May there even be something in these other cities that cannot exist in the larger urban centers by their very nature? How do these other cities exhibit alternative forms of global network(ing)? How do (im)migrants, minorities, and subcultures participate actively in the continuous redefinition of these other cities? How do representations in art, architecture, literature, film, and other categories of cultural products/production reflect the shifting and the fluid nature of these urban identities? Among others, contributors investigate the phenomenon of the second city, a space that defines itself in opposition to the first city and, at the same time, embraces its empowering international/global identity. Papers are 5500-6000 words in length including a works cited in the MLA style with endnotes by 31 May 2010 to Steven Totosy de Zepetnek at clcweb@purdue.edu
