Call For Proposals

Ruminations, Peregrinations, and Regenerations: A Critical Approach to
Doctor Who

I am soliciting proposals for a book-length study of the British
sci-fi series Doctor Who. The study will examine the famous BBC
science fiction show as a cultural artifact in dialogue with other
science fiction, with politics and religion, and with the culture at
large, both in terms of how it reflects and comments upon that culture
and in terms of the audience and the peculiarities of its response.

The proposal has already been accepted by a publisher and some
chapters have already been selected. Additional chapter length essays
might come from the following areas, though essays from other areas
will be considered as well):

I. Who is the Doctor: Constructing an Identity (dealing with the
nature of the Doctor's identity as well as allusions and connections
from other literary, cinematic, and mediated sources)

II. Changing (or not Changing) History (dealing with how the show
interacts with historical events and figures)

III. National and International Identity (the nature of the show as it
represents Great Britain and as it represents itself to an
international audience)

IV. Companions and Gender Issues

V. Intertextuality and Metatextuality

VI. Audience Studies


Please send a 250-word abstract, c.v., and 100-word bio to: Chris
Hansen at christopher_hansen@baylor.edu by April 15. 2009.
