Third Wave Manifestos Call for Submissions

Call for Submissions

We are seeking submissions for a proposed edited collection titled We Want It
Now! Third Wave Manifestos. We are interested in work from a variety of
perspectives.

Each manifesto — or rant — should clearly identify a specific political issue
of concern as well as your demands for change. We Want It Now! is intended for
a general audience as well as for the classroom and should therefore avoid
heavy academese or specialized language. We are interested in submissions from
students, activists, thinkers, artists, and academics. Manifestos may be
pragmatic, provocative, outrageous, serious, funny, fresh, or in-your-face.
Unafraid of contradictions, these third wave manifestos may embody several of
these qualities at once. The following topics are provided as guidelines but
are certainly not limited to:

        •globalization
        •freedom in a corporate society
        •imperialism
        •war
•ending racism
•childcare
        •lesbian freedoms — drag kings and high femmes
        •pop culture representations
        •international solidarity
        •sk8board girls
        •media
        •music
        •sexual freedom
        •reproductive rights
        •transcending divisions within feminism (generational, ideological)


Specific titles may include, for example:

•being sexy doesn’t mean I like it when you whistle
•Get Your GMOs Off My Food
•I’m Disappointed When You Buy Meat: Food Is a Feminist Issue
•This High Femme Kicks Ass
•How Come Feminists Give Sex Work a Dirty Name?
