Apologies for the inconvenience.

Special Issue – Call for Papers

A Special Issue of South Asian Popular Culture will be published in
July 2013 on:

Terror and Media

Guest Editors: Ritu G. Khanduri and Ronie Parciack

The spectacular 26/11/2008 attacks on Mumbai brought South Asia to the
forefront of (western) discourse on terrorism. International and
internal media coverage consociated the Mumbai calamity with the
spectacular 9/11 attacks by terming the Mumbai tragedy "India's 9/11."
Several assessments denied The South-Asian context and subordinated it
to Western history and conceptualizations. Public resentment of such
analysis was articulated by Amitav Ghosh and Arundhati Roy among
others, who called for decolonizing the media coverage, in other words
to contextualizing the issue of terrorism within specific South Asian
frameworks.
This special issue aims at exploring pivotal theoretical and socio-
political concepts related to representations of terror in
contemporary South Asian visual cultures. Our aim is to lay the
groundwork for a critical reexamination of terror and media in the
South Asian context, and contribute to three interconnected areas of
analytical import: 1. the theoretical debate on terrorism within South
Asian conceptualizations and contexts; 2. a reconsideration of
identity formations, cultural constructs and nationalism; and 3. the
mass mediation of terror.
South Asian Popular Culture invites paper proposals critically
converging around terror and media across South Asia. Though not
limited to these questions, we anticipate paper proposals to address:
• What is Terror in the South-Asian context? Does the South Asian
media provide a background for alternative definitions - or
theorization - of terror?
• How does the South Asian context challenge or negotiate the dominant
readings of terror offered by Western theorists such as Slavoj Žižek,
Alain Badiou and Jean Baudrillard? Can the South-Asian context provide
us with a different orientation than the dominant psychoanalytical
prism of Western cultural studies?
• How is terror represented in South Asian contexts, and how do South
Asian societies visually redefine themselves in the era of terror?
• How does the era of terror challenge or recontextualize identity
formations across South Asia?
• How does the era of terror recontextualize concepts such as
nationalism, sovereignty, nonviolence, youth, gender, body, order/
disorder, the dynamics of East/West, local/global and notions of
exchange?
• Historically, does the South Asian mass media provide a framework
for conceptualizing the sensations and spectacles associated with
terror?

We are looking for critical essays, which should be 5,000-6,000 words,
and pieces for the "Working Notes," which could be interviews with
artists, reviews of works and photo essays, ranging from 1,000 - 3,000
words each.

Please email a 300 word proposal and a 150 word bio in a MS word
attachment to journalsapc@gmail.com by 30 April, 2011.

Initial review decision will be notified by 15 August, 2011.

Selected proposals should be submitted as complete Manuscripts no
later than 15 January, 2012.

All manuscripts will undergo peer review, based on initial editor
screening.

Manuscripts should not be under consideration by another publication
at the time of submission.
