[csaa-forum] Not the election, but book reviews

[Terry Flew]

Dear CSAA members

As some of you may be aware, I am the Book Reviews Editor for Continuum: 
Journal of Media and Cultural Studies, which all CSAA members receive as a 
part of their membership. As a result, and perhaps not surprisingly, I 
receive a lot of books, and I currently have more than I have reviewers for.

If you are interested in reviewing books for Continuum, you may wish to 
send me an email outlining your areas of research interest. I should note 
that, over the last 18 months, we have moved towards a policy of carrying 
review essays, where a person writes an article of about 3000 words drawing 
upon a cluster of similarly-themed books. One advantage of this is that it 
allows the work to be DEST-accredited, which is less likely with single 
book reviews.

I also have recent books by current CSAA members that we would like to see 
reviewed in Continuum. Please let me know if you re able to review any of 
these titles, keeping in mind the imperative to meet publishing deadlines 
(It is particularly unfair to ask for a book to review and then not review 
it, as this denies the author the opportunity to see their book reviewed):

Ruth Barcan, Nudity: A Cultural Anatomy (Berg, 2004)
Ian Buchanan and Marcel Swiboda (eds.), Deleuze and Music (Edinburgh 
University Press, 2004)
Peter Dunbar-Hall and Chris Gibson, Deadly Sounds, Deadly places: 
Contemporary Aboriginal Music in Australia (UNSW Press, 2004)
Stephen Muecke, Ancient & Modern: Time, Culture and Indigenous Philosophy 
(UNSW Press, 2004)
Rod Giblett, Living with the Earth: From Mastery to Mutuality (Salt, 2004)
Angela Ndalianis, Neo-Baroque Aesthetics and Contemporay Entertainment (MIT 
Press, 2004).

Cheers
Terry
