Deadline for submissions: October 15, 2007. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/news/#CallForSubmissions Tue, 27 Mar 2007 13:35:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/news/#CallForSubmissions - Tue, 27 Mar 2007 13:35:00 CST Call for Submissions The essays in this very special issue of Mosaic were presented at the international and interdisciplinary conference, Following Derrida: Legacies, held at the University of Manitoba in October 2006. Set to mark the second anniversary of Jacques Derrida’s death, the conference was a celebration of his life and work. Over the course of four days, more than 120 presenters explored the legacies of Derrida's truly remarkable body of work, and a selection of these rich and varied papers have been published in this issue. A collective work of mourning, the issue remembers Derrida by reflecting on the promise engaged by his work. Two of the keynote speakers at the conference, Catherine Malabou and Michael Naas, were able to contribute their addresses to this collection, along with eighteen other contributors: Majero Bouman, Mahité Breton, Leonard Lawlor, Nick Mansfield, Joana Masó, Gabriela Garcìa Hubard, Javier Bassas Vila, Santiago Borja, Pamela McCallum, Ginette Michaud, Peter W.

The ten essays collected here cross media and genres to engage such issues as: the relationship of writing to technology; adaptionist readings of novels; tensions between orality and writing; similarities between poetry and painting; writing as an instrument for sculpting bodies; the treatment of writing and writers as artifacts. The issue also takes up the question of memory: post-Holocaust memory as dependent upon writing that is oriented toward a future; and collective remembering as facilitated through discourses of hysteria. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=40&no=3 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 10:41:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=40&no=3 - Mon, 24 Sep 2007 10:41:00 CST Issue Announcement Spatial theory, racial theory, trauma theory, feminist social theory: the ten essays collected in this issue read diaries, poetry, fiction, and film through a number of current theories. These essays approach the body, the black female body, as well as Kant’s Categorical Imperative. They examine the fashioning of masculinity along with the Amazon trickster, Camus’s La Chute, Woolf’s To the Lighthouse, Corbettt’s The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag, and Fahrenheit 911. This is the kind of issue that makes Mosaic the journal to read. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=40&no=4 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:40:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=40&no=4 - Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:40:00 CST Issue Announcement This issue collects ten essays that take up concerns at the forefront of contemporary literary and critical theory. Reading fiction, sculpture, film, and philosophy, these essays contend with issues of race, nationalism, and colonialism; with discourses of sexuality and of wilderness; with the theorizing of vision, aesthetics, and neuro-narrativity. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=41&no=1 Mon, 03 Mar 2008 09:00:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=41&no=1 - Mon, 03 Mar 2008 09:00:00 CST Issue Announcement According to Hegel, since it transforms mere stone or wood into the human figure, sculpture constitutes the proper centre of classical art, and is at best complemented by poetry. What has happened that enables Arthur Danto to suggest that sculpture is postmodernism’s privileged form? Mosaic invites submissions that relate contemporary sculpture to literature and literary-critical theory, considering such topics as: sculpturality, citationality, movement, body, surface, hybridity, animality, voice, writing, duration, memory, narrative, texture, history, architecture, colour, clothing, life, light, nature, mourning, spectacle, translation, violence. Material must be received by January, 15, 2009. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/news/#CallForSubmissions Mon, 12 May 2008 16:14:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/news/#CallForSubmissions - Mon, 12 May 2008 16:14:00 CST Call for Submissions Questions of memory are central to this issue, explored through intergenerational haunting, the poetry and photography of mourning, video recall, montage, survivor stories, and place theory. When and how is repetition/recycling revolutionary? The nine essays collected in Volume 41.2 link this question to that of the word-image relation. This is an issue in which hybridity is much in play. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=41&no=2 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:54:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=41&no=2 - Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:54:00 CST Issue Announcement A special issue that features a review of the current field of Antigone studies along with twelve studies that engage the figure and the play through the work of such critics as Hegel, Lacan, Butler, Agamben, Benjamin, Derrida, Nussbaum, Kristeva, Kierkegaard, de Beauvoir; and such topics as sovereignty, mourning, family, ethics, community, modernity, democracy, gender, and law. The issue includes a partial translation of Leopoldo Marechal’s AntígonaVélez. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=41&no=3 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:00:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=41&no=3 - Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:00:00 CST Issue Announcement The first in Mosaic’s “feature author” series, this issue, featuring Rodolphe Gasché, opens with a Gasché interview and two essays by him—on Walter Benjamin’s theory of film and on the “harmless detail” in Hegel’s Aesthetics. The issue includes an additional seven essays on the topics of: female memory and the allegory of gender; narrative ethics and incommensurable discourses; women’s loss and literary representation; fetal imaging; literary contributions to the animal question; white tomboyism and American Indian tribalism; and the Bhadramahila and adaptation. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=41&no=4 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 13:00:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=41&no=4 - Tue, 25 Nov 2008 13:00:00 CST Issue Announcement This issue, the first of a two-part special, takes the study of sound into literary and critical practices where work on visuality and the gaze has held sway, and it suggests the importance sound studies hold for the blurring of oppositional boundaries. The thirteen essays collected here engage sound as a medium for interrogating identity, for improvising multiculturalism, as well as for approaching subjectivity as a technological extension; sound as wordless and as found in silence; and sound as gesture. The issue includes explorations of the history of sound; of the soundings of a text; of the sound archive; and of the multimedial basis of psychoanalysis. There is an interest here in “irreducible openness.” The issue attempts to take down boundaries—between the senses, between cultures, between performer and text. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=42&no=1 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 9:30:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=42&no=1 - Fri, 27 Feb 2009 9:30:00 CST Issue Announcement In this, the second of a two-part Mosaic special issue on Sound, “voice” emerges as a prominent theme, approached through studies of voice recording, queer vocality, memory, archive, sound poetry, iteration, and the figure of Echo. The issue also includes essays on “sound images” in silent film, music and narrative, and sonic elements in a BBC TV science-fiction series. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=42&no=2 Wed, 20 May 2009 13:30:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=42&no=2 - Wed, 20 May 2009 13:30:00 CST Issue Announcement This general issue includes eleven essays, at least four of which deal with “nature” (ecology, eco-poetics) as a prominent theme, approached in two cases through “trees”: through human/arboreal relations and through gendered “tree-scapes” in the art of Emily Carr and Judith Wright. Gender, another concern in the issue, is explored through the masculinities of V.S. Naipaul’s male protagonists. Other questions taken up in this issue include the link between art and community, the problem of remembering in the absence of eyewitness accounts, and aesthetic modes of resistance to colonialism, militarism, and capitalist commodity fetishism. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=42&no=3 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 10:30:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=42&no=3 - Tue, 15 Sep 2009 10:30:00 CST Issue Announcement Featuring a Mosaic “Crossings” series interview with, and two essays by, Peggy Kamuf, this is a fascinating issue that engages opera, criticism, poetry, fiction, fairy tale and film, and that includes essays on the work of Hélène Cixous, Jean-Luc Nancy, Emil Cioran, Eamon Grennan, Jean-Luc Nancy and Benedict Anderson. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=42&no=4 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:10:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=42&no=4 - Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:10:00 CST Issue Announcement This is a richly interdisciplinary issue: ten essays that bring literary-critical insights to bear on comics, film, fiction, music, vocality, phonography, photography, cartography, psychology, phrenology, and history of science.

Writing is figured as an Orphic journey in the poetry of the Iraqi Assyrian exile Sargon Boulus. White Americans’ ideas about blackness in the 1970s and 1980s are approached through Raymond Carver’s incorporation of African American characters in his short stories. Elizabeth Moon’s novel about autism is read against contemporary cognitive science. And theories of cultural hybridity are brought to a reading of Diana Abu-Jaber’s Arabian Jazz. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=43&no=4 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 15:30:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=43&no=4 - Tue, 30 Nov 2010 15:30:00 CST Issue Announcement This Mosaic special issue features an interview with renowned teacher and theorist of voice, Kristin Linklater, essays on her work, and contributions from actors and philosophers who participated in the Linklater-led Santorini Voice Symposium. http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=44&no=1 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 12:15:00 CST http://www.umanitoba.ca/publications/mosaic/issues/getissue.php?vol=44&no=1 - Tue, 01 Mar 2011 12:15:00 CST Issue Announcement This general issue models the interdisciplinarity that Mosaic is all about.
