We are soliciting submissions for a collection of essays examining and implementing possible ways to present, represent, or perform the postfoundational (postmodern and/or poststructural) body/subject in autoethnography. Autoethnography, a qualitative research methodology which falls in the intersection of poststructural ethnography and autobiography, has predominately examined the body/subject of its focus as a modern self. Although much theoretical discussion has taken place around the intersection of postfoundational theories and qualitative research, few, if any, autoethnographies have been published which attempt to deal with the body/subject as a postfoundational phenomena. Thus, the question continues to arise, how would one write a postfoundational body/subject? What would a postfoundational body/subject "look" like? What are some possible modes of textualizing a postfoundational body/subject? We are interested in pieces that go beyond a theoretical discussion and embrace a wide variety of possible methods, including work that is poetic, fictional, performative, etc.

Submission should be made to the following: Jodi Kaufmann Department of Educational Psychology 325 Aderhold Hall University of Georgia Athens, GA

Works must be submitted on diskette, floppy or zip. Deadline for completed manuscripts is May 30, 2003. All inquires may be addressed to Jodi Kaufmann or Nathaniel Kohn. via Anthro-L
