Call for manuscripts.
Manuscripts on the impact of computerization on tribal community
development are being solicited for a special technology and culture issue
of Wicazo Sa Review. This issue will not only identify and discuss ongoing
projects, but will seek to address the significance of technology's impact
on tribal identity and culture.
Among the topics to be considered are:
* Disinformation (playing "Indian" on the internet)
* Intellectural property (disclosing tribal information with and
without a tribe's consent)
* Freedom of the "virtual" press and censorship
* Repatriation of tribal information using innovative technologies
* Native voice (the "authenticity" of information)
* Political lessons about the production of multi-media and software
packages
* Technology paradigm shifts in Native American curricula
* Language revitalization using computers
Manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate, double-spaced
throughout, have numbered endnotes, and be prepared in conformity
with The Chicago Manual of Style. Submissions and inquires should
be sent to:
