Please forward to potentially interested parties: Everyday life in the modern world has become increasingly science fictional: No longer are cloning, cyberspace, nanomachines, and prostheses simply the stuff of imagination. Rather, they have become increasingly integrated into the daily life of the subject under late capitalism. To further understand this phenomenon, we invite submissions for the next themed issue of Reconstruction, "Science Fiction & Everyday Life." Reconstruction <http://www.reconstruction.ws> is a culture studies journal dedicated to fostering an intellectual community composed of scholars and their audience, granting them all the opportunity and ability to share thoughts and opinions on the most important and influential work in contemporary interdisciplinary studies. "Science Fiction & Everyday Life" will be published July 21, 2003. Submissions should be received no later than May 19, 2003 for consideration. Submissions are encouraged from a variety of perspectives, including, but not limited to: geography, cultural studies, folklore, architecture, history, sociology, psychology, communications, music, political science, semiotics, theology, art history, queer theory, literature, criminology, urban planning, gender studies, etc. Both theoretical and empirical approaches are welcomed. In matters of citation, it is assumed that the proper MLA format will be followed. Other citation formats are acceptable in respect to the disciplinary concerns of the author.
