Intersections: Gender, History and Culture in the Asian Context 
        Issue 9 - 'Globalisation, History, Culture' 
                        and Call for Papers 


Carolyn Brewer and Anne-Marie Medcalf are now pleased to announce that the
ninth issue of the online refereed journal _Intersections: Gender, History
and Culture in the Asian Context_ has been posted to the net at
http://wwwsshe.murdoch.edu.au/intersections 


This issue focuses on the interaction, and relations of power between the
local and the global in the context of the writing of gendered history and
culture, and of the discourses and performance of sex and gender in Japan,
Thailand and Southeast Asia. We also make a special foray into the study 
of
gender and language(see table of contents of papers and book and film
reviews section below).


We are also calling for papers for the tenth issue of _Intersections_ due
for publication in May 2004 (deadline 15 March 2004). Issue Ten will 
mainly
focus on papers around the theme of 'Indonesia: Histories and Life 
Stories'.
Besides academic papers, introduced edited interviews and relevant short
fiction pieces will be considered. We will, of course, also consider 
papers
outside of the main theme for each issue. Please refer to the call for
papers page of the journal for submission details and further planned
issues, or contact the editors.
