The Journal of Women's History is soliciting articles for a special
issue on
domestic violence, guest edited by Megan McLaughlin and Elizabeth
Pleck. We
seek manuscripts from the broadest possible chronological,
geographical, and
methodological range, and from individuals residing around the world.
For
the purposes of this issue, domestic violence is very broadly defined to
mean emotional, physical, and sexual violence occurring within the
household, including (but not limited to) female infanticide, servant
abuse,
marital rape, etc. The editors are especially interested in:
--the relationship of domestic violence to notions of shame and honor
--the relationship of domestic violence to public and private space
--changing attributions of the causes of domestic violence
--changing representations of domestic violence in popular culture, in
law
and religion, in media of any type
--changing definitions of the boundary between acceptable and
illegitimate
domestic violence
--the relationship of domestic violence to discourses of power and
difference
--community regulation of domestic violence
--changing understandings of woman as "victim."
The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2005. Please send four
one-sided, double-spaced copies of your manuscript (no more than 10,000
words, including endnotes and figures) to: Journal of Women's History,
c/o
Department of History, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 309
