Issue 33: Censorship & Cultural Practices (deadline for submissions: April 2nd, 2012)
The history of human culture has always been engaged with classifying and upholding the politically and socially acceptable, ethical and moral. On the flip side, it has also been equally engaged with what is deemed as forbidden, shocking, inappropriate, tasteless, improper, reprehensible and even scandalous. Censorship and freedom of expression are not just modern-day issues or debates. To be heard, seen, erased or silenced in written, spoken or visual form has vexed humanity since the Ancient and Classical debates on good governance and freedom of speech.
We welcome submissions of papers on a wide range of topics pertaining to censorship and its cultural practices globally and through time.
The Editorial Board is primarily made up of students enrolled in CWL 495: Genre. The main purpose of this course is to offer students the opportunity to develop critical editing skills and glean the editorial process experience.
For more information, please contact Dr. Nhora Serrano, Faculty Advisor.
