Colleagues,

With all due apologies for cross-posting:

Call for Papers: Special Issue of CyberOrient: Online Journal of the
Virtual Middle East
“Orchestrating Hip-hop Culture Online: within and Beyond the Middle East”
Guest Editor: Anders Ackfeldt

Submission deadline: 31 May 2013
Vol. 7, Iss. 2 (autumn 2013)

Aim

Hip-hop culture, which started in New York more than thirty years ago,
has become a matter of global concern. The growth of the Internet has
facilitated its spread across the globe from the US to Tokyo, and from
Johannesburg to Nuuk.

This special issue of CyberOrient seeks critical examinations of the
impact, functions and dynamics of Middle Eastern and/or Islamic themed
hip-hop in cyberspace, within and beyond the Middle East. Submissions
regarding visual aspects are welcomed – examples include breakdance,
album cover art and graffiti. Papers dealing with the junction of
geopolitics and Middle Eastern/Islamic themed hip-hop culture are also
encouraged.

About CyberOrient

CyberOrient (http://www.cyberorient.net/) is a peer-reviewed journal
published by the Middle East Section of the American Anthropological
Association in collaboration with the Faculty of Arts of Charles
University in Prague. The aim of the journal is to provide research
and theoretical considerations on the representation of Islam and the
Middle East, the very areas that used to be styled as an “Orient”, in
cyberspace, as well as the impact of the internet and new media in
Muslim and Middle Eastern contexts. Submissions are welcome from
scholars in any discipline.

Submission

Articles should be submitted directly to Anders Ackfeldt
(anders.ackfeldt at cme.lu.se) and Vit Sisler (vit.sisler at ff.cuni.cz ).
Submissions should be between 5,000 and 8,000 words long and follow
the AAA Style Guide
(http://www.aaanet.org/publications/guidelines.cfm). The special issue
will be published online with free access in autumn 2013.
