A CALL FOR PAPERS

for
MYTHOSPHERE
Editor in Chief
William G. Doty
University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa

Mythosphere: A Journal for Image, Myth and Symbol is conceived as an interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary journal in the humanities, and intends to aim for integration of information across several disciplines and fields of inquiry; authors will share their special expertise, not in the highly technical diction of specialist journals, but rather on a level of articulation appropriate for a wide range of scholars and educated readers from different backgrounds alike.

This journal proposes to present and analyze myths, mythology, ritual, symbols, and imagery, in folk and popular culture; encourages studies that recognize and emphasize the meanings of such materials within their socio-historical contexts (including secondary elaborations and indirect influences in the arts) rather than as "textualized" artifacts treated in the abstract; invites contributions from many areas of interest, including American and cultural studies; classics; religious studies and philosophy; literature and languages; anthropology; gender, feminist and queer studies; fine arts and art history; semiotics, rhetoric, and speech communications; iconography and iconology.

Mythosphere is oriented towards hermeneutics, semiotics, iconography, and mythography: that is, toward accessible presentation and interpretation; for example, essays may focus upon analysis of the mythopoetics of a contemporary artist or poet, or upon multi-cultural manifestations of a particular image or mythic figure/theme; not oriented toward any particular methodology (such as that of Eliade, Jung, Campbell, or social-scientific approaches), Mythosphere welcomes reconsiderations of earlier scholarship and theoretical discussions of methodologies for the study of images, myths, and rituals; applied demonstrations of what various critical methods can reveal as new knowledge are particularly solicited.

The journal will be open to contemporary expressions of mythic materials in the arts; intends to be a place for interpretative analyses of the significance of cultural observances and expressions of value, and the changes in models of the hero/ine in films/paintings/literature; is concerned with gender modeling/issues related to traditional materials and whether contemporary gender studies new insights into traditional texts/rituals; seeks to loosen the disciplinary boundaries now so prevalent in academe by opening up to multicontributor essays, and/or theme-or methodology-driven collective contributions; will cover developments in new audio-visual and computer-intensive models of instruction and references; not only theoretical but pragmatic/pedagogical reflections will be included; will seek studies of visual or enacted (ritual) features of materials that are presently treated almost exclusively in textual terms.
