Call for Papers for a special issue of the journal "Interdisciplinary Humanities:" (mis)Representing Difference in Media and Everyday Items. Edited by Susan Booker Morris, Former Director of Jim Crow Museum, Ferris State University.
Although reason and discourse are important in framing and communicating ’truths’ about the human being, increasingly visual representation is serving to communicate attitudes, histories, beliefs, and values. This special issue on the representation of the ‘other’ invites your analysis of race, ethnicity, nationality, queerness, or gender as found in representations in television, ads, films, photographs, video games, computer images, etc. As these othernesses are constructed, the visual representation is one arena in which the construction takes place and is disseminated. Any theoretical bases are welcome. Use of the Jim Crow Museum at www.ferris.edu/jimcrow is particularly encouraged but not required. Please send queries and submissions of no more than 6000 words to morrisus@ferris.edu by May 1, 2011. To learn more about the journal please visit ww.h-e-r-a.org/hera_call.htm
