CALL FOR PROPOSALS

ATRIUM ISSUE 10: The theme is "GRAPHIC"

GUEST CO-EDITORS: MK CZERWIEC & CATHERINE BELLING

Think creatively about broad interpretations of the theme. The adjective
'graphic' describes that which is represented in such a way that it is
easily visualized. For example, we present information in graphs so that a
reader can see, rather than have to calculate, data relationships. 'Graphic'
can refer to representations of what we usually keep hidden from view, to
images that are uncommonly or shockingly vivid, especially in ways that
concern bodies. And at its most literal, the 'graphic' is what is drawn, in
pictures, rather than written, in words. What does graphic representation
have to do with illness or health care?

Short proposals must be submitted by August 1st, 2011. They will be
evaluated, and complete articles invited, by mid-August. Finished drafts
will be due by September 15th, 2011.
