> Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture (ISSN 1547-4348)
> <http://www.reconstruction.ws> is an innovative culture studies
> journal dedicated to fostering an intellectual community composed of
> scholars and their audience, granting them all the opportunity and
> ability to share thoughts and opinions on the most important and
> influential work in contemporary interdisciplinary studies.
>
> Manuscripts may be written from any number of perspectives, and with
> any end in mind; possible sites for articulations may focus on the
> urban, the rural, the natural, the social, local and global “culture,”
> politics, (auto)biography, medicine, the body, science, texts (music,
> cinema, literature), media (the internet, television), myth and
> religion.
>
> Submissions are encouraged from a variety of perspectives, including,
> but not limited to: geography, cultural studies, folklore,
> architecture, history, sociology, psychology, communications,
> anthropology, music, political science, semiotics, theology, art
> history, queer theory, literary criticism, ecocriticism, criminology,
> urban planning, gender studies, etc. All theoretical and empirical
> approaches are welcomed.
>
> This special issue is a threshold issue. Thresholds are about the
> transgressing, pushing or collapsing of boundaries; they are about the
> point of beginning, the entranceway and stimulation. Thus, threshold
> issues are dedicated to exploring an experimental theme, novel
> method(s) or theoretical apparatus(es) that might not normally find an
> audience. Rather than having firm publication dates – due to the
> experimental nature of their contents – threshold issues are published
> once a minimum number of acceptable submissions are received. If this
> minimum is not met by 18 months from the December 13, 2005, the
> approved manuscripts will be published in the next available issue of
> the journal.
>
> Information on the preparation of manuscripts for submission can be
> found at <http://www.reconstruction.ws/style.htm>.
>
> Reconstruction published quarterly (January, April, July, and October)
> and is currently indexed in the MLA International Bibliography.
