Anamesa Fall 2010 Call for Submissions

Anamesa, a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of graduate student writing and art based at New York University, is now accepting submissions for its Fall 2010 print issue. Graduate students across all disciplines are encouraged to send in writing (including but not limited to academic essays, creative non-fiction, reportage, interviews, reviews, short stories, poetry, and other unclassifiable prose creations) and art of all sorts (such as photography, drawings, paintings, film stills, posters, prints, etc.). Anamesa considers material from diverse subject matter, and publishes creative and intelligent works that exemplify the transdisciplinary spirit of the graduate community.

Submission guidelines for papers: Include complete paper (up to 6000 words), abstract (up to 200 words), and cover sheet. Academic papers must adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style. All paper submissions—both non-fiction and fiction—are blind-reviewed so there should be no author-identifying information in the text of the paper. Although the publication will be in English, we are also interested in texts in translation.

Submission guidelines for art works: Visual art submissions must be in digital format with a minimum resolution of 300 DPI and no smaller than 5 x 7 inches.

The submission deadline is September 20th. Send submissions and queries to anamesa.journal@gmail.com. Please include a cover page with your name, departmental affiliation, expected degree and date, telephone number, and email address. We accept multiple submissions, but we ask that you place each submission in a different email message with the subject heading listing the relevant genre (e.g., “essay,” “fiction,” or “photography”).

For further information and to view previous issues of Anamesa, visit www.anamesajournal.org. Printed copies of the journal are available at the offices of the John W. Draper Interdisciplinary Master’s Program in Humanities and Social Thought at 14 University Place.

Anamesa Spring 2010 Launch Party

Anamesa Launch Party - May 6 - 7pm at Stoned Crow

Friends,

It is with immense pleasure that I am writing to you to let you know that the Anamesa Spring 2010 issue is about to come back from the printer, and that deserves a celebration. Please join the staff, contributors, and friends of Anamesa at large for a launch party to acknowledge all of the hard work that went into this latest issue, and frankly, just to have a great time. There will be food to munch on and the first 40 attendees can enjoy a drink on us! I can’t think of a better after-party for the Draper end of year party (5pm in the Draper Map Room, 14 University Place)–after that winds down, just hop over to the Stoned Crow and meet us for a night cap.

Here’s the details:
Stoned Crow
85 Washington Place
New York, New York 10011

Thursday, May 6 from 7 to 9 pm

The journal will be available for pick up at the party and later in the Draper office at 14 University Place. Also, if you are interested in contributing to the Fall 2010 issue of Anamesa, please send along your non-fiction, fiction, poetry, art, photography, screenplays, etc (but nothing over 6,000 words long) to us at anamesa.journal@gmail.com.

See you on May 6,
Best,
Lindsey Schneider
editor in chief

Calling all editors! Readers! Designers! Programmers! Everyone! Anamesa’s back!

What? Start-up team meeting for the graduate journal, Anamesa
Who? Anyone interested. No experience necessary.
When? Tuesday, July 21 at 5:30pm
Where? Dojo Restaurant 14 W. 4th Street (corner of W. 4th & Mercer)
Why? Appetizers on us! (Oh, and the chance to be part of an amazing team project.)

Anamesa is an interdisciplinary journal of graduate works, run and published jointly by the students of the Draper Program and CLACS (Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies). Usually published twice a year, the journal has been quiet for the last couple of semesters. But, plans are now in the works to jumpstart it again—beginning with a joint issue covering the past fall and spring—and we need your help!

All interested in being part of the team should plan to meet for appetizers on the patio at Dojo Restaurant, 14 W. 4th Street (corner of W. 4th and Mercer) at 5:30pm, next Tuesday, the 21st. Please RSVP to Anna Bardaus at alb469(at)nyu.edu so we can get a head count. If you can’t RSVP in time, don’t let that stop you—come anyway!

Available jobs include: editors, proofreaders, designers and art directors, publicists, webmasters, and more. No prior experience necessary. Just a keen eye, a few hours a week, and lots of enthusiasm for the promotion of critical and artistic expression.

If you have any questions, contact Anna Bardaus at alb469(at)nyu.edu, or DSO President Myong Chin myc266(at)nyu.edu. Also, check out past issues of Anamesa at http://www.nyu.edu/pubs/anamesa/index.htm.

See you there!
