Please circulate:

CFP:*Stoking the Fires: Queer Post-Colonialities* 

We are soliciting contributions for a collection of essays, provisionally
titled, Stoking the Fires: Queer Post-Colonialities, that will contribute
to the emerging body of work on the intersections of queer studies and
postcolonial theory.  Our work is concerned with the tensions between the
materiality of the historical and the politics of the geographical.  The
essays we have in mind would attend to such critical issues as the rapid
expansion of queer movements in the post-colonies; the theoretical
liaisons among diaspora studies, queer studies and studies of
globalization.  We are interested in essays that focus on local sites and
interrogate the very production of what we consider "post-colonial" and
"queer." 

Please send a copy each of paper proposals and/or complete manuscripts to
the following addresses by or before September 1, 2000:
