Cultural Studies Journal
Special Issue on Waste - Cultural Studies Journal
Deadline: September 1, 2008
“As the capitalist mode of production extends, so also does the utilization of the refuse left behind by production and consumption. Under the heading of production we have the waste products of industry and agriculture, under that of consumption we have both the excrement produced by man’s natural metabolism and the form in which useful articles survive after use has been made of them.”
Marx, Capital, vol. 3 (195)
As Marx’s provocative definition suggests, multiple forms of waste appear in capitalism’s uneven development. In this special issue of the Iowa Journal of Cultural Studies, we seek essays that examine the functions and constructions of waste in a variety of socio-political milieus and cultural locations. What is waste and how is it produced, dealt with and understood? What are the survivals of production and consumption? In a modern context, what becomes of the category of waste in post-Fordist production and under the hegemonic regime of immaterial labor? How does the growth of the world market affect the geography of waste? We are looking for an array of interpretations of waste, of capitalism’s refuse, from the fields of history, anthropology and ethnography, literary studies, film and the visual arts, communications and media studies, and, of course, cultural studies.
This call is not limited to interests of any century or geographic location.
Areas of interest include:
- Post-Marxism
- Subaltern and post-colonial studies
- The recycling and/or repurposing of culture
- Literature
- Film
- Philosophy
- Visual art
- Ecology
- Waste Management / Recycling
Please submit three (3) printed copies and one electronic copy by September 1, 2008 to the Iowa Journal of Cultural Studies, English Department, 308 English-Philosophy Building, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242. We prefer essays no longer than 9,000 words, MLA format. Please keep discursive endnotes to a minimum. Contact Joshua Gooch at Joshua-Gooch@uiowa.edu if you have any questions or would like to make a submission.
The Iowa Journal of Cultural Studies is a peer-reviewed publication edited by graduate students that mixes traditional approaches and contemporary interventions in the interdisciplinary humanities and interpretive social sciences.

Housemates Sought - non-smokers
My name is Sarah and I'm a female graduate student in the Sociology department at IU. I recently landed a house on the East side of Bloomington and am currently looking for 1-2 roommates with whom I could share it. The house has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms and is HUGE (2350 square feet). Located in a quiet residential area, the house also has a large back yard and deck. It's located off of a bus line and is on a bike path to campus. It's also VERY conveniently located for commuters with less than a 5 minute drive to campus. I know it's late in the "housing" game, but I thought I might pass the opportunity on to anyone who might be interested.
There are currently two bedrooms available to rent for the upcoming academic year. They're each very decently sized with ample closet space and will be rented for $350-375/month plus utilities (1/3 each). Rent will likely include water, garbage removal, and a telephone land line, but we're also working on being able to include internet and cable, if not for a small additional charge. The house was built in 1992 and has an unbeatable amount of space. It will also be getting new (and more neutral) paint throughout since I'm not a fan of the pale pinks, greens, and blues it has currently. The house will be fully furnished, with the exception of the 2 available bedrooms, but even that is negotiable. Finally, there is also one garage space available, but plenty of off street parking for up to 4 cars. Please keep in mind that I'm looking to live with nonsmokers who do not have pets. Please contact me at sjhatteb@indiana.edu with any questions you might have. I also have more pictures of the inside which I'd be glad to send to anyone interested.

Rental
Townhouse for Rent: 3491 South Oaklawn Circle; Bloomington, IN; 47401
This is a 1240 sq. ft. two-story townhouse. It has 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with large walk-in closets. The great thing about my place is that the deck is not right up against another townhouse but a parking lot (for a medical clinic). There are walking/running/biking paths very close and it's on a bus line. There is a dishwasher and I'd consider leaving my washer/dryer.
If you're interested, please give me a call (812.322.5988) or email (jbmotter@indiana.edu).
The townhouses in my complex rent for $775 with a one year lease. I'm willing to rent for $700ish and we could work out the lease.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to see pictures.

House for Rent
If anyone is still looking for a place to live in the fall, the house I
am currently renting will be available the first week of August.
It is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at the intersection of East
Third St. and South Bryan Ave. It has three floors: the top floor has
two bedrooms and a full bath; the ground floor has a large kitchen,
living room, two bedrooms, and a full bath; and the basement has a
large finished room, a small finished office, and a large unfinished
utility room. There is a nice front and back yard, and a separate
garage.
The house has hardwood floors throughout, beautiful big windows, and a
huge amount of storage space. It is in a quiet neighborhood, and is
about as close to campus as you can get and still not live in the
dorms. It usually takes me about 15 minutes to walk from the house to
the CMCL building.
I love this house; if I didn't have a roommate moving out, I would have
very happily stayed here.
If you are interested, or if you would like more information or
pictures, please send me an email: mloehwin@indiana.edu. Thanks!

No Caption Needed wins another award
Congratulations to John Lucaites for winning another major award for No Caption Needed--this one from the Kappa Tau Alpha National Honor Society in Journalism and Mass Communication. Previous winners include Robert McChesney, David Halberstam, Arthur Schlessinger, Paul Lazersfeld, and Wilbur Schramm.
Rootclip.com Opportunity
Greeting Friends, Family, and Colleagues,
For the past month, I've been involved with an exciting new project called Rootclip.com. It's an interesting website that allows users to tell a story through a collaborative video sharing contest.
Here's an example of they incredible, and fun, movies that our users creating - http://rootclip.com/clips/good-luck/3/underworld/
What?s it all about? We shoot the first 'chapter' in a story. Users continue the story started by the ?rootclip?. Users vote for their favorite, that extends the story and so on. It is very much like a Choose Your Own Adventure book we all read as children, only quite a bit more exciting and engaging. It is a place for people who like to make movies, as well as people who like to watch movies.
Each chapter winner gets a $500 VISA gift card, and the 'final scene'
winner will attend the Traverse City Film Festival to see the debut of the completed Rootclip film. Winners of the final chapter will also meet award-winning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, who is an adviser to the project.
Michael Moore said of this project, "When I first heard the idea of RootClip I was very impressed and thought how much fun it would be to participate in this. We've entered a new era of filmmaking and I believe that our next great batch of filmmakers will come from places like RootClip!"
Please help us out by registering to vote for your favorite video, or even entering your own video. You can also help by passing the site along to a friend who might be interested in movies, video production, or film critiques.
I am very glad to finally have the opportunity to share this site with you, and we are excited to continue adding more storylines and features to the site as we grow.
Sincerely,
Allen Klosowski

It is very much like a Choose Your Own Adventure book we all read as children, only quite a bit more exciting and engaging. It is a place for people who like to make movies, as well as people who like to watch movies.
Each chapter winner gets a $500 VISA gift card, and the 'final scene'
winner will attend the Traverse City Film Festival to see the debut of the completed Rootclip film. Winners of the final chapter will also meet award-winning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, who is an adviser to the project.
Michael Moore said of this project, "When I first heard the idea of RootClip I was very impressed and thought how much fun it would be to participate in this. We've entered a new era of filmmaking and I believe that our next great batch of filmmakers will come from places like RootClip!"
