CFP: Collection– From A to <A> :Keywords in HTML and Writing

From A to <A>Keywords in HTML and Writing, a proposed collection edited by Bradley Dilger and Jeff Rice, seeks essays that consider the cultural, ideological, and rhetorical forces shaping the relationships between writing and the mark-up and scripting languages that make up the web, such as HTML and CSS.

Markup tags will be used as keywords. Following the keywords genre, essays should focus on a single tag or unit of markup, and break down that tag’s etymological, historical, social, and cultural meanings.

For further details on the kinds of essays sought, as well as submission instructions, contact Bradley Dilger or Jeff Rice. A list of essays which have already been accepted is available online.

Deadline for abstracts is August 1, 2006.
