In a separate document you should submit your name, institutional affiliation if appropriate, email address and a brief personal biography to be used if the article is accepted.

Call for Special Issue of Antipodes,
December 2010, on Connections
This issue will address cultural and,
especially, literary relations between Latin America, the Caribbean,
and Australia. Form the socialist New Australian colony in Paraguay
in the 1890s to the influence of Borges and Garcia Marquez on
Australian postmodernists from the 1980s onward, cultural
cross-pollination has flourished across the South Pacific, despite
the restrictive effects of imperialism and protectionist trade
policies which tried to make the two regions utterly separate

identities in both Australia and Latin America, the time is ripe for
a new engagement. Prospective topics to be covered in the open call
for papers that will be issued are: literary influences; indigenous
voices; sport as a cultural medium; resistances; oralities and
literacies; whaling and nautical lore; continental drift; revising
European paradigms of landscape; poetic form and the challenge of
non-European landscapes; Asia in Latin America/Australia; Arab and
Middle Eastern influences in Australia/Latin America; Anglophone
