Issue 16 of Colloquy: text theory critique is now online and freely
available for your perusal at 
www.colloquy.monash.edu.au
It contains a themed section dedicated to reflections upon Walter
Benjamin's "Critique of Violence" and Jacques Derrida's "Force of Law" and comes
accompanied by its own substantial introduction, which deals with
the ideas and authors included in it. Alongside this excellent array of
postgraduate articles, this issue includes four general articles, a
translation (of some highly recommended Japanese poems
regarding war and peace) and a selection of book reviews.
As usual, then, an exciting mix with a broad variety of interests all
concerned with the general Colloquy CFP request: for submission of
articles related to literary or cultural theory (pure or applied),
authored by those involved in research in English, communications, languages,
performing or recorded arts, and inspired by a wide range of political
and/or aesthetic positions.
Colloquy is presently seeking unsolicited submissions for future issues.

Issue 17, to appear in June 2009, will feature general articles as well
as papers devoted to two themes. These are: Alternative visions: philoso-
phies of freedom in South Asian Diasporic Writing, and International and
Intercultural Communications in the Age of Digital Media.

Issue 18, due out in December 2009, will concentrate on articles arising 
from the conference Demanding the Impossible: The Third Australian
Conference on Utopia, Dystopia and Science Fiction, held at Monash Uni-
versity in December 2007. The conference featured keynote speakers
Terry Eagleton, Tom Moylan, Lyman Tower Sargent and Lucy Sussex.
The submission deadline for Issue 18 is June 15, 2009. Academic arti-
cles, review articles, book reviews, translations, opinion essays and
creative writing will be considered.
